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!

Pilsner from Ponysaurus Brewing Company

1 year ago

5.1/10 — Appearance 3 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5

Clear pale from a $3 can at total wine. Constant streaming co2 in the eye. Fresh slightly sharp pils nose. Taste? At first, its a little fruity then some of that pilsner bitter bite sets in. Mind you, its not overly or terribly sharp, like so many poorly made domestic attempts; its more like the real thing from the old country. Perhaps maybe it approaches the mildness of the macro american lagers that call themselves pilsners, hehehehh. Rather medium mild in personality, and I like that. Going down fairly easy. Good level of co2 throughout, but could use more. In the middle. But yet, on the finish, the medium sharp bitter pils bite never lets you forget it truly is a real pilsner. Not bad overall.

Ciderboys La Vida Sangria from Stevens Point Brewery

1 year ago

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 5 Overall 8

Bottle, a beauty of a pour, dark red and shit. Rather wine like aroma. First taste is wine-like as well, you know, like fruity sangria but there is the hint of apple cider hiding back in the corner. Seems like a a blend of wine character along with the tart sweetness of the cider. Yes, feels like a lot of unfermented sugar in this, far from dry I'll say. A little more tartness comes thru in the middle. Don't chug this, there's way too much sugar, reminds me a bit of those woodchuck soda pop ciders. I think they got what they wanted with this, true to life tasting like a sangria; especially one that's been mixed with granny smith apples, other fruit and a tad of brandy with sweetr red wine. There, you have it. Just a little worried about what the sugar is going to do to my tender tummy lining.

Celebration from Wyndridge Farm

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

Light pale from a can. Constant streaming carbonation visually. Fresh dry cider nose. Smells a lot like the homemade cider I used to make. Very dry, I like this. Lacks that stupid ass woodchuck sweetness so common in our domestic ciders. Yea, just plain old fully fermented hard cider, fer sher. Getting some apple peel in there, it adds a tad of bitterness along with the oak. Very good cutting sizzling carbonation in the palate. I think I'm getting a slight warming sensation on the finish. Good old regular real dry apple cider, nice job wyndie! From the name of this, I was afraid to try it and it sat in the fridge for a few months. I thought it was going to be a straight up bullshit spiced holiday thang, but no it aint! Now I wish I would have absconded with a six pack!
