Next up was Sol. This mexican brew actually wasn't bad! It definitely has more body to it than Corona, and more taste. It pours yellow with a good amount of carbonation. Little on the sweet side with a little citrus taste to it. Actually one of the better Mexican beers out there. 3 out of 5
Ok I came across a Bud Light Lime. Seriously I'm not joking. Ha ha I know you are probably thinking why am I even going here? Well, to be honest with you I just thought what the hell I will just give it a try and see what happens. Guess what? I didn't die from it! ha ha. Well, this very light brew does not taste like a bud light, it honestly tastes like a watered down margarita! This would definitely be a summer beer for when I am done mowing the lawn or doing some landscaping. I almost feel like I should put some ice in it or something and put it in a margarita glass or add some tequila to it ha ha! So how is this one scaled? 2 out of 5...for its drinkabilty.( lol )

Tonight I got the chance to sample the Spaten Dunkel. Well what can I say, this is your typical Euro Dunkel which comes in @ 4.9% abv. This brew is sweet and light bodied (like Newcastle) yet has that Euro bittnerness to it (almost skunky). Actually not a bad brew! Hardly any hoppiness to it...more maltiness than anything. Roasted malts but nothing compared to a good ol fashioned American Craft brew. Overall not bad...3 out of 5 beer chips....try it!

OK so tonight (4-15-2009) I had decided to go with a 1/2 of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale for the hockey playoffs. I have been going with 1/6 kegs just for the variety but this is the playoffs! You might not know but we watch all of the games outside and weather has no factor in that. So we are going to see if we can go through a 1/2 of the Pale Ale in the playoffs. First let me tell you that the Pens won the first game 4-1 in which we dominated almost every aspect of the game. Second, we (Steve, Ben, and I) dominated almost every aspect of the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. That is the game plan and as long as the Pens keep winning I will keep you updated on my kegs (lol). LET'S GO PENS!!!!!!!!!

HA HAHA HA...you all may laugh...but Augustiner has been around for quite awhile. This is your typical light lager that has a slight malt backround with little hop aroma/taste yet it is very thirst quenching. A little sweet and not bitter at all as this one is what is known as a lawnmower beer....give it a try if you are thirsty! 2 out of 5
Ok so I got a sample from Ben (our newest employee) and I had to give this one a go since it has been awhile (sort of). This one is a 5.3% abv Pils that definitely has a very citrus taste. Almost sour with somewhat of a sweet aftertaste. This is unique as it quenches the thirst after a long day..in the end nothing special....but good I supposed. For a pils I give this 3 out of 5.

Hmm...Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA...this one clocks in @ 9.0% abv...and let me tell you...if you want an imperial IPA...this is the one to have. It starts off with a fruity/grassy aroma..followed by the bitterness that could bite one's head off. Then the taste tickles one's tongue as it plagues it with hops. This one has a very earthy/piney taste to it that only the true hop drinkers can truly appreciate. For an imperial IPA this one gets 5 out of 5!
Ahh...the all new Samuel Adams Blackberry Wit. This one is truly a great specimen. This one has all of the taste of blackberries yet it is not overly fruity as one would expect. It has strong hints of fruit..yet light enough for a session beer. Give me this one in the summer anytime! 5 out of 5!








First up is the Stan Sral "I do IPA". This one was aged for 4 years and definitely had a fruity taste to it. Due to the age which was longer than most I have tasted, overall it wasn't bad. Like I stated it definitely had a fruity taste to it...I think it lost most of it's hop aroma/taste. 3 out of 5





Ok...so I have been away for awhile...and I am going to update this into 1 big update! So here it is....first up is the Paulaner Hefeweizen. This is probably considered number 1 in the world when it comes to a good Hefe...I would probably go with Franziskaner but anyways here is my take. Cloudy like a hefe should be...not to yeasty like one would expect. This one is definitely has a citrus taste to it compared to most. Goes down fast as one would expect. Higher carbonation than most yet still has somewhat of a spicy aroma/taste. 4 beer chips out of 5

Accident

Well...2 Fridays ago some $%^&* t-boned me in the Brew Zoo parking lot and totalled my car...so I have been dealing with that crap for awhile...sorry I haven't been posting anything! I'm back and I will be updating things once again!
