Singha

This beer brings to the table a bouquet of bittersweet effervescent taste with a hint of lime. The closest taste equivalent from the "big brand name beers" is Heineken, which is not an Asian brew but is quite a popular beer among the Asian community. Singha has a clean start with a pleasant mild finish. This is a good beer to have with the spicy and sweet sauces often found in the tie cooking. The overall taste is reminiscent of a young spring afternoon, one of those lazy carefree days where the sun warms you, but the occasional wind gusts brings a slight bitterness. The beer is best with sweet/ spicy foods. So enjoy.

Halida Premium Lager Beer

Ah so, me so thirsty and if you are, you will love this beer, it is extremely light in all of it’s taste aspects. Like when your smart phone back lighting goes out, you still know the screens info is still there. This beer is just like that in that it is in my opinion it’s very light in the taste department however, this is probably because it’s as hot as napalm death down in Hanoi town during the summer, hell it’s hot at winter time as well. So it makes sense that the beer down there is so light and refreshing and goes will with spicy Asian food.


P.S. Thanks sis, for the beer, be safe and enjoy. I love you very much.

Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout

When I first cracked this one open I could tell that this beer was going to be an entreating journey down flavor street. This beer is so dark, light can not escape from its surface. This is one formidable looking beer and a lesser man would run. However, being the intrepid ale explorer that I am. I gave this one a go and I am glad that I did. This is a chocolatie, leathery smelling beer with a light hint of smoked fish. You might think this is really more of a desert beer than anything else so I was completely pleased by it’s performance with my meal of Whole Food’s sausage and a medley string vegetables. This beer has earned a spot in the beer of the year contest. For those who may not know, the "beer of the year goes to the beer that was all around superior in all of the categories that I use to calculate a beer. 1) TASTE 2) color 3) in the glass aroma 4) how well it goes with food 5) drinkability and overall versatility. So in conclusion don’t doubt the stout.

Michelob Ultra Lime Cactus

I really enjoy the regular Michelob Ultra, however, this version of the beer is like a watered down miller chill or a Tequiza. The beer is a bit sweeter than most, and it is best as a standalone, and goes well with mechelata mix that you can buy an the store. The beer really comes alive with that authentic restraint mechlata taste one which is so hard to find in a store bought style. So if you are in the mood for mechlatas when pick up a sixer and enjoy.

Pyramid Thunderhead IAP

Yes, hello, hi!! Here comes the thunderhead, the name does it justice. The beer is fairly yeasty and just a little spicy, it goes great with food, but is a bit too bitter to enjoy as a standalone. However, it is wonderful with chicken or pork. The best food to enjoy this beer with is something spicy accented with Tabasco green pepper sauce, so enjoy and let me know what you think. Thanks to all who come to this blog.

Shnier Kolsch

The beer is a bitter pale tasting offering from the "little brewery", it is in my opinion a less than stellar. The nose on the beer smells light and refreshing, however, the taste is more robust that on might expect. The thing about it is that as you get down to the end of the bottle it takes on a lighter more watered down taste, a sort of anticlimactic ending. I maintain my position that Shiner Bock and Hefeweizen are still perhaps the best offering from the brewer.

Anchor Steam Beer

The distinct bite of this beer is the first of the flavor characters one notices when you first drink this beer. As you continue to analyze the flavor profiles you can sense an after taste of malt which lingers on the tongue. The overall taste profile of this beer is a robust earthy medium bodied beer. This particular beers strong suit is that it goes best with most any food type. I have found that I can’t go wrong with one when it comes to playing matchmaker with foods. Despite the fact that this is a pretty one-dimensional beer in that is does best with food I would still call it a San Francisco treat. One with a definite wow factor to it. My food pick is grilled beer ribs marinated with brown sugar and chili dust. Enjoy
