Unique

Retired American Luddite and refugee of the 2018-2024 Ratebeer/Anheuser-Busch (InBev) fiasco. Thanks Brewver for the chance to continue rating! ....... and yes, I'll soon be a supporter! ........ Since 1968, I've enjoyed all kinds of cheap macro pale lagers, starting with Carling Black Label bottles I found in Grampa Gino's wine cellar! Later, my dad had faves like Old Mil, Strohs, Bud, Coors Light and Piels! They were all good for a budding youngster like me. My ratings aren't to style, but how much I liked it. Thus, my fave styles; lambic, wild & flemish, rate much higher than IPA since I don't like bitter hoppy beers. You like IPA? The lower my IPA rating, the better according to style! There, you have it! Easy peezy, no worries!

Coastline Crush from Catawba Island Brewing Company

1 month ago

3/10 — Appearance 2 Aroma 4.5 Flavor 2 Texture 2 Overall 3.5

Bright pale and clear with a nice foamy white head that lasts quite a while. Nose identifies this as a higher hopped pils. First big taste confirms it; this is a typical domestic pils with quite a big sharp bitter bite. Those old country pils do have a sharp bitter bite but these domestic varieties actually take it a bit further. Co2 level is there but the overwhelming effect of the harping carping sharp bitterness does not make life any easier. Each slug makes this sharp bitter near astringent bite gets reaper deeper. Yep, I like plain old pale lagers but these in yer face domestic high kick pils sometimes get on my nerves. Oh well, there, you have it.

IPA from Wolf's Ridge Brewing

1 month ago

2.1/10 — Appearance 2 Aroma 5 Flavor 0.5 Texture 2 Overall 1

2$ can from chalet. Pour is perfectly clear pale yellow. Nice white head fades quickly mellow. Nose is not really high hops apparent, more like a mild pine scent transparent. Terrible on style bitter of the original IPA bitterness, circa the early year 2000 chipperness. This one is a hop-heavy brew, it tastes like pine-scented glue. It gags down the throat, like a toxic green goat. It made this bold macro lager lover drinker turn blue. Such an extended rude ass brew. There, you have it. Its so doggon nasty too.

Tail Wagger from MadTree Brewing Company

1 month ago

4.9/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 4.5 Texture 2 Overall 3

Can for 2 bucks at chalet. Pour is big and black with a nice show of creamy head developing almost like a nitro. Red tinge can be seen within the black brew. Peanut butter nose fer sher. First taste is big peanut butter. Easy drinken at 5% but you know there is some beef in this stuff. Not sure if you can pick out the porter in this, its all peanut butter. At least its not cloying sickly sweet like so many other pastry type brews. I would probably say this is a flavored porter and not really a pastry in nature. Ok for a one time tick and, a little better than expected, but I would probably not buy another.

Blood Orange Blonde Ale from Geo. Wiedemann Brewing Company

1 month ago

6.9/10 — Appearance 1 Aroma 7 Flavor 8.5 Texture 5 Overall 9

$2 Can. Clear pale with a head that fades immediately to nothing. Nose is mildly sweet friendly orange. Taste is also very friendly. No hint of any rude ale character you find with most domestic blonde ales. I'll say its probably because of the lower alky level in this one. You really can't tell this is blood orange, its simply orange in nature and its not really artificial in the flavor. Clean and refreshing. Good level of carbonation. Should have saved this till the wife was home, I'm sure she would have liked a sample of this stuff. You can tell its beer, but the fruit is so well balanced, I'm getting nothing negative about the beer aspect at all. I'd like to try this on tap, I bet its pretty darn good. Good job there weiddy! The only thing low score about this is its color and appearance - the look of a macro pale lager. Shoudah couldah wouldah got a six pack! Except for Anderson Valley Blood Orange Gose, this is the best blood orange brew I've had!
