HOORAY BEER!!1! (5D,3C)

updated [02-13-06]

this is my ode to le' brew. the rules are simple: beers will be judged on a variety of fields - namely whether or not i like it. then they will get the thumbs up or the thumbs down (no middle thumb bullshit from this caesar).

Woodchuck Raspberry Draft Cider

this cider is tasty and it has a fudgin' woodchuck on the bottle!

unfotunately its only 4% abv so her inhibitions will stay intact.

i'm beginning to think it's hard to mess up cider.

Rating: C

HopDevil Ale

this beer is good until you get to the aftertaste, then it tastes like demon semen. my review:

"the hop devil and god are raging inside me"

eric, why is your thumb up?

Flying Dog Pale Ale

see that jar of jelly in the fridge? if you left it in there a year and brewed it you would have flying dog. this beer was so overly fruity and disappointing i had to wear a sweatband.

Pete's Wicked Ale

pete - i don't know who the hell you are but you brewed a tasty beer. i enjoyed it so much i couldn't think of anything clever to write here. thank you sir.

Ziegen Bock Amber

this beer came later on in the night and after the two below, so by immediate comparison it was good. however, there is absolutely nothing special about it, so i'm not sure i can give it the thumbs up. but it does have a texas on the bottle. my head just exploded.

Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale

i'm not sure what they were going for with this, but it doesn't work. i thought a vanilla'y beer would be tasty, but unfortunately the two parts don't commingle. there was a heated argument about whether or not this was worse than the saint arnold's. fortunately we all realized we didn't really care.

Saint Arnold's Fancy Lawnmower Beer

i thought that with a name like fancy lawnmower this beer was sure to please. too bad i'm an idiot. imagine a nice beery beer (i.e. sam adams). now imagine you filtered it through a lawnmower bag...

George Hornsby's Hard Apple Cider

this was the first drink of the night. it's not bad at all (kinda tastes like sour apple juice). by far the best part of this drink is walking around saying it's name like an old southern gentleman.

"Hornsby's. Brewed the old fashioned way - with slavery." (too soon?)
