Kennebunkport Blueberry Wheat Ale

Monday, June 9, 2008 0 comments

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.

Kirin Ichiban: Special Premium Reserve

 I wasn't very impressed with this "Japanese" beer.  Its brewed in America by Anheuser Busch, and pretty much tastes like a Budweiser, which I don't like.  If I had already had a couple of stiff drinks before hand, this would have been fine to maintain a buzz, but for initial taste and enjoyment it blew.

Mike's Take:
In a way I hate to agree with Jendar on this one. It isn't that I doubt her beer review its just that I had had this a long time ago and thought I enjoyed it. Of course I was in Hawaii drinking way before PM and eating sushi. I guess when Kirin didn't interupt my drunk I figured it was good. Well I now stand corrected. It wasn't that good. It tasted like a sub par domestic and even the dragon on the bottle can't change that.

Celebrator: Doppelbock

Sunday, June 8, 2008 0 comments

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.

Red Rocket Ale

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.

Murphy's 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.

Drop anchor. Prepare to drop trow. Liberty Ale will call port in the nearest toilet before you can remember why Kim Kardashian is famous.

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...

Chapeau Kriek

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.

Shiner: Hefeweizen

Friday, May 23, 2008 0 comments

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.

Lindeman's Framboise

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

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
