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!

Grateful Dead Citrus Daydream Lager from Dogfish Head Craft Brewery

1 month ago

4.9/10 — Appearance 2 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5

Can. Pale clear yellow, quickly fading head. Fresh pale lager mild malt lemon nose. Yea, maybe a little citrus on the tongue, offers a more flavorful body character and maybe a tad more noble hops? Mostly this is a simple premium lager, even tho its rice and gluten free grain does add some personality, its better tasting than most gluten free beers I've tasted. Note here the label does not claim to be gluten free. Yes, more controlled hop flavor than most pale lagers after each swig but the mild noble bitterness fades rapidly after a few seconds. Overall a pretty decent lager and rather refreshing session for what it is. There, you have it.

Steady Yeti from Southern Tier Brewing Company

1 month ago

5/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 6 Flavor 4.5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5

As a rater who usually detests IPA, was looking forward to this. There have been a few lighter IPA that have tweaked my interest. Not great mind you, just acceptable for a typical macro lager lover. This 3$ can came from JR's. Its slightly hazy like lemonade and has a very small creamy head. Lots of lively carbonation visibly within. Nose is mild IPA hop perfume. Taste? Yea, it is bitter, but I don't find it offensive. It achieves the IPA personality without mowing over my palate. Come to think about it, it actually comes across like a rather lighthearted APA. Goes down fairly easy and seems to have some manners about itself. Very good level of carbonation on the tongue as well. Yea, I think I could drink a few of these with my yeti backyard friend. Bitterness builds a little thru the middle and finishes with a medium light, may I say somewhat friendly, bitter IPA-ish finish. As with most IPA, I found nothing insulting, obnoxious, rude, disrespectful, objectionable, nor disgusting about this particular IPA. Not as refreshing as Flying Monkeys Light Moves or North Peak Wanderer, but certainly worth checking out if you typically despise the IPA style.

Voodoo Ranger Sweet Ride Juicy IPA from New Belgium Brewing Company

1 month ago

2.1/10 — Appearance 3 Aroma 5 Flavor 1 Texture 1 Overall 0.5

Can from Jr's. Practically clear pale eye. Nice big fluffy head. Maybe some lighter aroma mixture of mango, pineapple, papaya, banana, coconut, and passion fruit, who knows. Taste? Well, yes, traditionally IPA, since its another one of those stupid ass BS voodoo ranger bombs, it's trying to be an IPA. Additionally, straight up sicky sweet. Mouthcoating megacycle. Not into these IPAs except for a whore tick. It was pretty cheap on the rack, as well as all those obtuse idiotic VD rangers are cheaply made, you know it. NB has made a million off this moronic brainless brand and how many are there BTW? A zillion? No. that's how many IPA are out there. So there must be a billion of the voodoo stranger danger pierre-jean de beranger voodoo ranger. Go figger there, you have it. Directly from the macro lager lovers horse's mouth. This don't even have a good enough ABV value to yield a decent buzz, blah.

Imperial Strawberry Blush from Blake's Hard Cider Co.

1 month ago

5.5/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 3 Overall 3

2$ can at chalet premier. Pour is pink clear with an orange tint. Nose is boozy strawberry. First taste is also quite boozy on the onset, backed with some fruit taste of some sort. Maybe I'll call it strawberry, but its not dead on real strawberry flavor, hehehh. However, the label does say it uses real fruit. Warming sensations thru the middle. Sweet yet gets a little medicinal at times. Yes, could pass as one of those fruit flavored malt beverage fizzy alky bombs. Think about a fruited cider spiked with some grain alky. A little difficult at times near the finish.

Red Widow from Original Sin Cidery

2 months ago

7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 8 Texture 4 Overall 8.5

2.5$ can from vintage estates. Very pretty clear darker maroon orange colored brew. Aroma of sweet friendly unidentifiable fruit. Taste is quite dry for a domestic cider, but I think OS prides themselves on domestic ciders that don't add sugar to taste like woodchuck soda pop. Decent level of co2 adds to the dryness. Yes berries and cherries. I like the cherry thing. However, there is enough apple cider in there to not let you forget it is a cider. No way would you ever confuse this with soda pop. Good job OS. You don't find many real cherry flavored ciders around here that taste like real cherries.
