Carta Blanca Beer

At first when I started this six pack I did not care for the flavor. The first beer was bitter and uninspired at best and I thought that this beer was going to suck. However, the other night I was having Mexican food and having the Carta Blanca with it and fund that it went very well with the food. A con to this is that the beer go well with the Mexican food and I fear that it only will go with the Mexican and nothing more. As for the beer itself, it is ever so slightly bitter the whole way through with no change which is why it is not the best for just drinking, as for pairing the beer with food, yes it does go well with food, the Mexican food I discussed earlier in the piece. It is a middle to lower end beer and will not be making it into the beer of the year running. So enjoy or whatever you are going to do with this beer. I gave you all the info I can about this beer. This beer stinks like the debt ceiling.

Pearl Beer

“Texas Oldest Brewery” it says right on the can, if this is indeed the case it is time to freshen up the recipe. This beer just tastes old and un inspired. The best way I can describe this beer is that it is like what Loan Star use to taste like before it went off the market before it became the strong brand that it is today. An interesting thing about the brewery, is that it is brewed in Fort Worth which is the same place that Loan Star (which I love) is brewed. This is interesting because the water is what is the keystone of beer because it is the ingredient that is called for the most in every brew and it is also the one major ingredient that differs from region to region, state to state and texas does have some good H2O don’t it water boy. So if you like to drink in the god old days have at it with this slightly malty overly hoppy beer from the Texas.

Enjoy?

Red Hook WIT

Fairly fresh off a trip to Washington state I thought I would do a review on some beer from the Bigfoot state. Let me just say that Mr. Foot would not be pleased in my opinion. The beer in question is from Red Hook and it is called WIT and there is a little saying on bottle and it says “ Made with ginger, but still digs Mary Ann.” The bite that ginger has is not not found in the beer at all. This beer is most like the last beer I did a review on, which was from the west coast as well, but much more flavorful than this one. This is what I call a phone in beer. There is not anything that sets this beer apart, or make it stand out above others. The beer is just bland and flavorless and a real disappointment the overlying taste profile is watery. This is so sad coming from a place that is filled with such natural beauty that it brings you to tears and fills you with curiosity to have such a crap beer come out of it. On a related note, Olympia Beer is not brewed in Olympia Washington like it was, it is now brewed in Milwaukee. The brewery is sitting in ruins at the adders of 3223 Boston St SE Tumwater, WA 98501, look it up no your IPhones google map app or google maps. Don’t be fooled by the bottle, it is outright falls advertising right on the bottle there is nothing “in the water” at least nothing from Washington. However, I digress from the current rant about this beer. This is a no go in my book. A better name for this beer would have been “HET” which is NO in Russian. So if you are into bland beer, try Red Hook’s HET, I mean WIT.
