Profile: A wine girl married to a beer snob, I was forced to start liking beers more flavorful than Miller Lite. Now I'm a total convert and though I still like my vino, I am now a beer lover through-and-through!

A little thin, but a very decent beer

Week 3: Flat Earth Belgian Pale Ale (January 14-20) | Reviewed on January 14th, 2008

Flat Earth has a good thing going here.  It’s a nice combo between a pale ale and a Belgian.  There’s a nice start that is more like a belgian, but with the added bitterness of a pale ale, which is pleasing, but the finish is a little weak.    Like CJ said already….it’s got a thin body.  Overall, a decent beer….

Awww….Crap!

Week 2: Gluek Honey Bock (January 7-13) | Reviewed on January 8th, 2008

Crap! We just spent $12.99 at South Lyndale and someone else got it for $9.99.  Double-crap that it’s total crap!  You can taste the honey, and there’s the slightest hint of bitterness when you first taste the beer, but there is zero finish.  The finish is…oh…water perhaps?  Nasty.  We, like Aaron said, would be willing to make the huge and incredibly generous sacrifice of offering the remainder of our 22 beers to whoever would enjoy them.  That’s just the kinda folks we are….

Much Better Than I Thought

Week 1: Schell Snowstorm (January 1-6) | Reviewed on January 3rd, 2008

Not being a fan of most of Schell’s beers, I was hesitent to try Snow Storm.  Now, to be clear, I really like wheat beers and I find Snow Storm to be reminiscent of some Beligian Whites I’ve tried, which to me have a simliar “feel” to a hefe.   Slightly sweet but with a subtle spicyness, it’s easy to drink.  Surprisingly, I’m a big fan!
