Pert’ner Perfect

I’m exhausted after 2 full days of high school hockey and this beer hit the spot. Really good crisp bite. It’s refreshing and not too bitter. They could clean up the foggy aftertaste a bit though. The bottle is also one of the best.

I’ve made better in my basement…

..I really have. It feels like the Brau Brothers are thinking, “Ya know, If we just put this beer out there, people will drink it.” They are right, we’ll drink it…but it is a lame ass beer. Talk about amateur…even the label looks homemade.

Oh man…that’s not what I wanted…

This is defiantly not a beer to have after a hard days work, not that I’ve experienced that. It’s the beer that you try to impress your friends with and say, “Oh yeah, I LOVE dark beers….don’t you? Or are you a pussy?” I’ll drink this beer with a smile on my face, and it’s really not bad, but it just sits to heavy on my tongue. I end up tasting it too long afterward, and it doesn’t go well with any sort of food…I’ve tried.

Unfairly kind to this brew

Loved this beer. Perfect hoppiness and I was able to drink a few without being overwhelmed. It was refreshing and could be had with any meal. Although, I may be biased because it came from the tap and drank it in the bar. I’ll give this beer 5 stars, but I feel that it’s on an uneven playing field with past beers that came out of the bottle or can.

I admit, I drank this weeks ago.

It was sitting in my fridge and I was long craving that hoppy freshness. I couldn’t resist and drank mine. In fact, I also drank my wife’s who is participating in this too. I love this beer, but I can’t give it a perfect score because you really can’t have this beer every day. The hops are just too intense!

Wow this is late, but I finally found it!

AND BOY IS IT GOOD! This is a nice beer with a nice label. A perfect blend of two great tastes. Not too hoppy and not too many damn Belgians either. A great beer, but I’m not always going to want to drink it out of that big bottle.

Now that’s a can!

Nice Ram head looking for the next wise-ass to bust skulls with. I love the sub-title, “Royal Select.” I can just imagine kings and queens of old scrutinizing this Honey Bock. The flavor is OK. After all it is beer and I’ll drink it, I do like the subtle honey flavor. Though I wish I hadn’t rated SnowStorm so low because this is definitely not as good as that, but I’m saving the 1/2 star rating for if we ever review Rolling Rock. It’s not really a beer to have with dinner, or really a beer to have while watching the game (though I am watching the BCS Championship) The only place I can think of where drinking this beer would be suitable is after bustin’ skulls with that ram.

It’s the first beer you need a chaser for.

A thick and unsatisfying beer that makes your tongue thick with their ‘creativeness.’ Malty and gunky. The bottle is tacky, but if you look at it long enough you start to feel like you’re in Bedford Falls running down the street hollerin’ Merry Christmas! I wish I lived in one of those windows, or was the owner of the horse and buggy. If I was that buggy driver I’d LOVE this beer. But I’m not.
