DeRushaJ says Calling this Superior is an Overstatement
March 9th, 2008
I mean really, to be so pompous to put the name “Superior” right on the bottle. That really raised expectations. What? It’s named after Lake Superior? I regret the error.
At any rate, my wife took one taste and said, “Yuck.” But she likes more of a girly beer. I took a couple tastes out the bottle, then poured it into a glass. It’s a nice beer. Nothing great, nothing fancy, nothing to really write about. It’s fine. Good. If I saw it on tap, I’d order it.

You know Rebekah usually only likes “girly” beers too, but she loved this one. And just to clarify, when you say “girly” beers are you thinking of like blue moon or like a woodchuck cider?

She really likes cider, tolerates blue moon, enjoys a hefe. Honeyweiss is ok in her book too. Abhors Miller Lite.

Yeah, its brewed in Duluth, MN. They make some good beer. I like the Kayak Kolsch for fishing in the summer.
