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!

Tap at mad mex. Off pale with slight haze. Clear fruity nose. Good tart intial flavor with lots of co2. Quite tasty and berry is well balanced. Maybe some tart lemon as well? Good stuff! I'm liking this.

2$ can from chalet. I guess this is an updated recipe on the old McNasty? Pour is big black, large and in charge. Very nice performance on the pour with its choco moose head. Nose is somewhat boozy with hints of sweeter malts. Dark bitter baker chocolate is forward on the first taste. After the swig, the slightly bitter burnt old damp campfire wood feeling starts to set in. Yes, it is a little boozy, makes no bones about it. As I recall, this seems to be more behaved with manners, compare to the old McNasty. Quite an impact, yet still retains some basic stout aspects without losing itself in the imperial style. Towards the finish, bitter dark chocolate is really laying in and overtakes the ending. Not bad, but as with most of the imperial stouts, I find it difficult at times. I bet aging would help this a little. Certainly not as good as the best impy stout I ever tasted; DFH World Wide Stout 2002 (23% ABV), but maybe not quite there, with the enjoy-ability factor with the other imoy stouts I'ver rated like Brewkeeper Mad Brewer Black Storm, Two Brothers Northwind Imperial or even East End Toaster. Still, not as bad as most impy stouts I've prosecuted.

Delirium Red from Brouwerij Huyghe

6.8/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 3 Overall 7

Big half liter pounder can from chalet for 3$. Pour is very nice, brown maroon with red tinge and a big foamy light pink head that never fades. Nose is fun and appetizing mild sour cherry. Looking forward to this session. First taste is mildly tart cherry. Then there is a little bit of that cherry cough medicine effect. Even so, this is pretty good. I've tasted nocturnum, delirium and noel and this stuff is much better than all 3 of those. Except for that mild cherry cough drop taste, this stuff really hides its alky content very well. In the middle, I didn't notice it, because of the decent taste, aroma and look; but there really isn't much carbonation in here, tho its enough for support of the overall friendliness of the brew. Quite happy with this purchase and tasting stint. Near the end, that head is still there! Even after 20 mins of sipping. Very rare for a beer these days. Pretty good overall experience!

Pineapple Haze from Original Sin Cidery

5.5/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6

Looks like lemonade. Smells some kindah mild fruit. First taste impression is that of a boosted alky malt beverage. Yes, alky flavored malt bomb. Now, after I get used to it, it does seem to be a pineapple flavored sort of cider. You certainly can tell its stronger ABV. Not as sweet as a woodchuck but it does come across like a so so fruit cider. I like pineapple juice and this sort of departs from that. Co2 level is ok on this one. Not bad overall, but could be a little more refreshing and just maybe a little less artificial in the taste. It says it uses real pineapple juice, so I'm not sure what the story is.

Nifty flip top bottle as pictured from chalet for $3. Flip top adds to the initial appearance. Clear pale pour decent thin white somewhat creamy head. Smell is a little like old baltic lager. Date code best before is PO#1475. WTF does that mean? First taste reveals cheaper pale lager, approaches that of the macro american 'ice' lagers of the same approximate ABV. Yes, I think I'm even getting a slight warming sensation on the way down to the gut. hahahh. A little difficult, but no more than those domestic so called ice lagers, heheh. Perhaps, on the finish, some of that processed industrial feel and character in there. Tolerable for what it is. I would like to try this fresh and really cold.

Moto de Oro from Biker Brewhouse

7.6/10 — Appearance 3 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 9.5

Skinny 12 oz can from chalet. Pour is light pale with a slight haze. Decent controlled head fades to a scum. Clean fresh macro lager nose. First taste is unexpectedly quite refreshing, bubbly carbonation. Flavor is certainly pale lager, but there is a slight tartness about it that is hiding in the background and piquing my interest. I want to say its lemon, but it aint. Yes this is going down way too easy! Really enjoying this brew. That mild tartness on top of the zinging carbonation really makes this a pale lager treat. One of the better pale lagers I've had in a long time. Right up there with some of my highest rated pale lagers like Birdfish Bird Light, Wiedemann's Black Cat Light, Grand Central St. Petian, Fifty West American Lager, Rhinegeist Cincy Light and Samuel Adams American Light. You go biker brewhouse!
