jared 0 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I was gonna dredge up the old beer thread but seen it was called Beer 2009 I guess we need a new one. Beer I am Drinking.. I got some Firestone Walker Pale 31. I love it, I just wish there was a little more hop bitterness to go with the massive hop flavour. also had Leffe Blonde and La Trappe Blonde. The Leffe was slightler bigger in body and flavour but otherwise they could have been the same beer. Both good but dangerously easy to drink for 7% beers. Link to post Share on other sites

Integral 0 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 James Squires Sundowner Lager is my new fave at the moment, great refresher on a hot day. It's been available on tap at the Squires Brew House for a while now but is becomming more readily available in bottle shops and they'll hopefully start distributing if demand is good.

muikabochi 208 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I havent had that one for ages, usually the Weizen or Porter whatever they call them. Always have one or two in the fridge, the shop up the road sells it. Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 On the Karuizawa kogen ESB beer tonight - very malty, with a roasted fruity aftertaste, and at 6% a definite Winter edition. Imagine a Suntory Premium Malts beer, and you're halfway there. An acquired taste. Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Don't drink American beer. Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 I was wondering what could be American about an ESB which would be more of an English style. They could have used american hops. Was the fruityness a citrus/pine/grapefruit type fruityness? or perhaps the beer just doesn't believe in socilized medicine. Link to post Share on other sites
