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!

Irish Style Extra Stout from The Saint Louis Brewery (Schlafly Beer)

2 months ago

2$ bottle from chalet. Pour is quite dark almost black with a tan head that fades rather quick. Nice roasty malt aroma. Oh yes, lots of old damp partially burnt campfire wood flavor in this liquid bread. Slight warming sensation on the way to the breadbasket. Boozy in the middle, even more so than many impy stouts. Lots of beef here baby. This stuff means business. Even with its forward alky character, seems to be quite quaffable if you don't chug it down, hehehh. I'd like to drink 3 of these in a row and weather the consequences, LoL. Good example of a heavy dark beer without any of those baltic properties. Imbibable with an everyday stouty appeal.

White Christmas (Bing Crosby) from Narragansett Brewing Company

2 months ago

4.8/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 4 Texture 2 Overall 3.5

Not sure if I will ever get used to these holiday brews, but I'm glad at least narry called this a Christmas brew, instead of a holiday! Pour is darker brown and has a nose of friendly mild holiday spices. First taste is certainly spiced and this is common with all these brew genre. But just maybe its a little less spiced, more balanced, and not in yer face, as most others. Plus, I like to listen to old Bing, so that is a plus, yer honor. BTW, date code is sept 2025. Yea, its a stronger, what I believe to be ale, with a few ill ale characteristics as compared to a lager; but hey - everyone knows Bingy was just a big, good-natured slob. There, you have it.

Lustra from Dancing Gnome Beer

3.4/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 2.5 Flavor 3 Texture 4 Overall 4

Cloudy lighter pale. Nose of fresh rubber hose. Oh, first thing I notice on the palate is lots of cutting carbonation. IPA flavor, yes, bit it tastes quite interesting. Has a clean lighter bitter fresh feel to it. Am I finally getting used to IPA? Not sure, this just seems to be more refreshing than so many thousand IPA I've had in the past.

Orange Starfish from Aslin Beer Company

4.4/10 — Appearance 2 Aroma 7 Flavor 4 Texture 2 Overall 4.5

Tap at mad mex. Nearly clear pale. Looks like thin lemonade. Interesting friendly mild fruity nose. First taste is not really an IPA. More like a mild APA with some fruit. Decent co2. Easy drinkin. In the middle IPA character tries to come thru but never makes a statement. I don't care for IPA, but I found this quite acceptable. Civilized finished.

Planets & Gods: Helios from Eleventh Hour Brewing

3.8/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 5 Flavor 2.5 Texture 3 Overall 3.5

Oh my! Big milkshake eye. Rocky head does not fade. Nose is slight rubber hose with mild pineapple aroma. Quite bitter on the uptake but with a sortah perfumed tinted fruity taste in the background. Quite unique when compared to most typical IPA. Perfume taste seems to increase toward the finish.

Hazy pale on tap at mad mex. Nose is a little bit like a rubber hose. First taste is surprisingly not so bitter. Not much in there regarding the fruit as stated in the description. Almost flat. Comes across like a mild IPA.

Steel Hearted from Two Frays Brewery

3.4/10 — Appearance 2 Aroma 7 Flavor 2 Texture 2 Overall 2.5

Tap at mad mex. Clear pale with no head. Clean sweet friendly aroma, with no sign of IPA hops. First taste is bitter hops and some rubber hose. Needs a little more carbonation. Typical lasting bitter IPA finish.
