According to the bottle, "Here at Young's we've created a family of flavoursome [sic] ales with different styles and tastes, united by a common belief that good ale, brewed properly and with passion, can be enjoyed by all." Amen, brothers. My first thought was that this stuff actually tastes a little like chocolate, unlike most other "chocolate" beers. It must be the "double." This is a thick, rich beer that will fill you up after about a quarter of a pint, but has a smooth, Nes Quick powder flavor that will keep you drinking 'til the bottles gone. It's not super strong, weighing in at 5.2%, but it's a good dessert type beer, or if you just feel like having one. But who ever just wants one?

My best friend used to get excited to visit Texas, partially because that meant she could buy Sparks. With that in mind, I bought a four-pack recently and expected to be blown away. This drink lures you in with the novelty of the Alcoholic Energy Drink that (an email informed me) contains the equivalent of three beers and eight cups of coffee. That said, I managed to get two and a half down in as many hours, and I felt nothing out of the ordinary. The taste is certainly nothing to compel one to drink it. Energy drinks are good, and alcohol is good, but combined, they taste (as Michael put it) like a sweet tart in a can...but not in the good way that you might imagine. Definitely not worth a second try.

Mike got this pear cider at the Draught House one night after we'd already had two beers apiece. I had a sip, and it tasted like too-sweet white wine. It's probably best to start the night out with this one, as having it after other beer is somewhat sickening. Also makes an excellent choice for those who haven't yet developed a taste for beer, or for those with Celiac Disease.

Good beer are refreshing. Good beers are made from sorghum? Surprisingly they can be. While on another seeking employment adventure I came across what I presumed was a tasty red. I really need to start reading labels... It did end up being yummy however even if it was made without wheat or barley. I was honestly surprised how good it was. So if you feel like passing on the gluten, give it a shot.

There were a hundred different reasons I got this one. New Saint Andrews, I enjoy Belhaven brews for the most point, hell even the fact it was a product of Scotland was in play. It never occurred to me that it was a golf beer even though it said as much on the bottle... I really enjoyed it. So try it. Don't watch golf though. And don't tell me that Tiger Woods is an athlete, I don't want to hear it. Drink your beer and shut up so the rest of us can enjoy ours.

The first time I had this was also my first adventure with Indian food. In comparison to the food, Taj Mahal was pretty good. I had a chance to revisit it recently and had a change of opinion. Granted it won't ever make you smell like curry and then proceed to push you away all night because of said smell. And I bet it won't get all pissy when you bring it to light that it was her idea that you went to that shit hole in the first place... No. It won't do that.

I liked the healthy buzz it provided but I just don't feel its anything special.

To sum things up, this is the best beverage I've ever tasted. Made from Granny Smith apples (I'm assuming), it has the sweetness of a cider without being overwhelmingly saccharine. It has a curious flavor that keeps me interested, and an alcohol content that keeps me happy. If Woodchuck were to figure out how to make a diet version of this drink and put in it in slightly more work-appropriate packaging, you can rest assured I'd be spending half of my per diem allowance on these at least five days a week.

I definitely enjoyed this cider. Not only was it yummy but was also free. Its hard to argue with that. My one big gripe about ciders is that they are usually too sweet to be able to drink enough of them to get thoroughly hosed. That said its taking a little restraint to not drink the remaining three in the fridge right now. So drink up, you won't regret it.

I remember this tasting better in Idaho. I don't know why a few states would make any difference but it did. I like the jug, it reminds me of better days. Even that isn't enough for me though. I don't plan on buying this again.

This was a mistake. Cute idea putting an alcoholic beverage in what appears to be a battery. Except when that said beverage actually might be mistaken for battery acid. Seriously, have you EVER seen anyone finish a six of this stuff? I have good money that said unless they're tweakers and used to that kind of strain on their heart they're dead now. And if they're not, than I bet they wish they were. If you honestly feel like you need a little boost before a night of drinking, moderation people. One'll do you just fine.

For all the talk of the mysterious white beer I honestly had to google it before I realised I was drinking that Hoegaarden. The shit is good. It's a little light for me but it has some very interesting tastes going on. Some people say its a mix of coriander and orange peel but I like to think theres a little taste of hoe in every bottle.

I can't say the stuff is bad. Its just another Red that is smooth enough for you to get through the over sized bottle with little complaint. It comes in handy if you are busy moping around a strangers house while wearing nothing but your under britches.

I enjoyed this one a lot. It was rich, smooth, and great tasting. Of the three I tasted on Saturday, this one is the only one I'd buy again. The only bad thing is since its a stout its very filling, so even though I really liked it, I could only drink one.

I'm not completely sure how I felt about this beer.  It has an after taste of blueberry, was interesting in the beginning, but after about half way through the beer, the aftertaste lingers and makes the beer seem sickly sweet.  So much so that it ruins the rest of the beer.  I tend to like wheat ales, with apricot or pumpkin, but the blueberry wasn't one of my favorites.

Now here's something that doesn't happen for me very often. More rare than finding fifteen dollars in quarters in the middle of the street, and a lot more awesome than some old lady giving you her number when you visit L-town. A perfect score. I have been wanting to try this beer for quite a while but the price had kept me away. I mean honestly its a lot easier to drink fifteen cheap beers than drop the same money for a six of good beer. At least that's my experience. The value I place on quantity is directly influenced by my time spent in Oklahoma... I like Celebrator. Not only for the little goat toy thingy I get with each bottle. It has a smooth rich taste that will leave you wanting more.

If you have been to Austin you might have been to the Draft House. Sometimes they make a home brew called the double red. Its so strong they limit you to two glasses. Somehow one night Amber and I ended up with a pitcher of the stuff... Now that was a night. That aside this beer is the closet I've come to finding something that tastes like that home brew. It isn't nearly as strong which makes it a whole lot easier to finish. Suprisingly this might come in my top three reds I've ever had behind the Red Menace made by Hales Brewery and the before mentioned Double Red.

I can't say I'm impressed. It isn't bad but it definitely isn't special. If it didn't say red on the bottle I'd have a hard time believing thats what I was drinking. This one might be worth skipping.

Did you know they call them killer whales not because they are whale that kill but because they kill whales? This beer comes in like chum. Not chunky, but heavy girl. The first sip was a little rough but once the initial shock wore off I found myself enjoying this dark brew. Maybe you'll enjoy it. I mean Tila Tequila has a show...

I'm not depressed. I'm actually relieved. This falls in line with a lot of the other limbic brews. This one had the flavor of a cough drop. Not necessarily a vicks, more like a ludens. More like candy than a cure all. I'd drink it more if it didn't cost six dollars a bottle. I'll allow it this one time though. I came back from a 0-20 deficit against USC to rally Idaho to a 20-21 win with no time left. If you're gonna drop the kind of cash it takes to drink fruity beer then you might want to get your head examined. or your sex.

What can I say but whats been said before. A wise man once told me it tastes like cigarette ashes. That can't really be true because my neighbor drinks an inordinate amount of the stuff. Its just a cheap beer. It's a Mexican cheap beer in a red can with a little black eagle. That's what it is. So if you want to drink it you can but you'll die of gaunasia.

Its not the kind of beer you'll find me drinking very often, except maybe when my roommate is nice enough to offer one. I got on a Hefeweizen kick a couple years ago but I can say I'm relatively clean now. Sometimes I can feel the itch and I have to call my sponsor... But I can control it. It won't hurt to have just a little. But I can't! But I did! And now I'm giving five dollar slap jobs in the alley behind Dress for Less.

I feel a little ashamed saying this but I really like this stuff. Amber ordered it but I drank more than my fair share. The Framboise was Raspberry but they make several other flavors and if they're anything like this stuff they are worth picking up. If you run fast your local bar might give you a free collectors glass with every purchase.

TsingTao or ChingDao as its known on the street, is actually one of my more favored beers. It falls in the realm of Mickeys when it comes to explanation, because there is none. It is an average beer that falls in line with most of the other Chinese beers I've tried. But it comes in a green bottle and it is Chinese... That's all I really need.

Jason's Review:
Tsingtao, or urine as it's known by me, tastes immensely like watered down ass. It is a light beer, with the body of a lager. Now, I generally don't drink a lot of lagers, and beers like this are the reason. There is no hoppiness, it is weak and a little flavorless, and it leaves an awful aftertaste. It's like a party in mouth and everyone hasn't showered. In short, I didn't remember this beer being so shitty. Read the full story
