Brews 20-25

Yeah...I know this blog entry is like 2 days late, but in my defense there's been a lot going on. I mean seriously we had 10 beers last night alone...don't worry Matt's got those covered so you wont have to wait too long.

Anyway, Tonight there were 4 of us, Matt, Wes, myself, and appearing for the first time in the Beer Blog - which I might add he is very excited about - Timm! Timm became intertwined in our mission after he read our blog the other day. Timm will be making celebrity guest spots here from time to time.

#20 Boon Geuze
This is the first lambic beer we have tasted on our journey. The beer has a very wine-esque smell and taste. Being a wino myself I immediately feel in love with its fruity flavor that over ran my taste buds. Timm and I agreed that this would be an amazing dinner or dessert beer...especially with cheesecake. The best quote from this tasting is, "I could easily get drunk off of this," made by Timm. This is a very strong statement from a guy who drinks to enjoy. The rating for this makes me sad because I rated it higher.

#21 Boon Framboise
Being our second lambic beer I was excited for the fruity nature of another lambic. This had a raspberry scent to it that filled with nostrils and made me smile. What didn't make me smile about this tastey brew was the sedement. I didn't like the fact that there were floaties in my beer. Another thing that turned me off about this brew was the acidic flavor brought on by the lemon in it. This made me very sad because if I didn't have the lemony flavor in it I would have given it a higher rating.

#22 Pilsner Urquell
This brew disappointed the entire group. I mean when it get the comment of, "It tastes like a men's urinal sweat, yet bitter," comes from Wes you know there's got to be something wrong. It has a very hoppy taste and I beleive its one of the hoppy-est Pilsners I've ever had. This was definately on the lower end of our taste buds.

#23 Victory Prima Pils
Going from the last Pilsner to this one made the entire group nervous. This one was lighter in color than the last and we expected the same nasty urinal sweat taste, but it wasn't as bad. The beer went down relatively smooth. Once in your mouth the taste wasn't too bad, but it was the short bitter aftertaste that killed it. It was very average, so we gave it an average rating.

#24 Weihenstephaner Kristal Weissbier
To start off with this beer has an amazing taste, but once that after taste hits you it's like you just pounded a bottle of bad cough medicine and ate a pound of beef jerky. I don't know if you realize how bad of a taste that is but if you want to experience it try this beer, if not don't waste your money. Some comments about the beer were, "it's like the other Weissbier, but less intense," Wes and "Love the original, but the after taste I'm not dinnin'," Timm.
We give this a poor 2.5 steins out of 5

#25 Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier
All I have to say about this beer is "What the F-enweissen!" I'm not sure who in the group said that, but I completely agree. Bad, Bad, Bad! The scent was bad, the taste was bad, and the after taste was bad. Really Now? How much did we pay for this beer? I don't remember but it definately wasn't worth it!
