JW Dundee’s Honey Brown

Piss water, is the only way to define this waste of a beer bottle. This isn’t even worth calling beer. This beer had no flavor at all. I am all for drinking ample amounts of water, but when I am trying to drink a beer, I want the dang thing to taste like a beer, or at least like there is some alcohol in it. In the past I have talked about beers I did not like due to the fact that they were too strong; well this beer is on the other end of the spectrum piss pore in all aspects. It even looks like piss. Well that’s that and there is no more to say, except avoid this beer at all cost unless you are an alcoholic and your nag of a wife is complaining that you don’t get enough water in you all liquid diet. You can just grab a JW Dundee’s Honey Brown and say I am drinking water, it comes in a bottle from the High Falls Brewing Company.

Hop Rob Rye Specially Ale by Bear Republic

The best way to describe this beer is that it is like a taster version of Arrogant Bastard. Where Arrogant Bastard comes up so short in the flavor department the hop rod drives it on home. This dark beer has the robust dark ale taste, but it has an earthy aftertaste, which comes from the rye. It is this interesting aftertaste is what sets itself apart from others in it class. Apparently this beer has a IBU (International Bitterness Units) of more than 90. I will have to look into this IBU for I have never herd of this type of rating till now. However, I suppose that until now this type of rating system has never been needed due to the fact that the small microbreweries primarily the ones coming from California are just infants when compared to the behemoth brewers, who have been churning out suds for what seems forever. Now don’t get me wrong. I am not badmouthing these "baby" brewers. However, I am inclined to agree with an article I red in a newspaper recently where the writer was raising the question of, are some of the microbreweries, primarily those from California brewing extremely bitter beers just for the sake of brewing bitter beers? I am inclined to agree with this, and the Hop Rod would be a blatant offender of this if it did not do a good job of balancing the bitter with other flavors, however it did and so Hop Rob gets a my nod. Enjoy.

Hello to you all my name is Chris and I relay enjoy beers, Every where I go in the world like to try new beers. I try to find beers that are unique to the place I am visiting. As a result I have come to post my reviews of the beers I have tried. So to start off this blog, I give you the beer of the year 07.

Wells Banana Bread Beer

Wow, this beer smells like a banana now n later. Very light carbonation the now and later taste fills the mouth around the lips. Most of the carbonation seems to be lost during poring. This is an extraordinarily heavy beer; I would love to take the hygrometer to this one. For all my fellow aviation fuel experts out there, did you know that beer, just like jet fuel has a "gravity" and is checked with a hygrometer? But I digress. For all of you out there who like to start your day with a bowl of wheatabix and sliced banana, you will love this beer, the coloration is a tanned banana peal orange. One of the big reasons I was so enamored with this beer is because I usually hate anything banana related, so when I found this beer and enjoyed it so much I new that it was the best pick for beer of the year. My suggestion for enjoying this beer is as an after dinner drink like a desert. Hope you all enjoy this one.

P.S. I would love to here your feedback on this beer. Did you like it, did you hate it? Please let me know thanks, Chris AKA,Captain "C"
