alcoholic beverages made with yeast and grain numbered 348-352

That's right! I found a hot minute to do a little posting!! So I am bringing you beers that were tasted a rather long time ago... Let's hope my notes are good enough to give you guys some decent feedback...

Liefman's Kriek
This beer is of the Oudnaarde style (heh I said naard). Now this beer from the get-go reaked of alcohol (which I guess some people like... I don't... but hey I'm weird sometimes. It was very tart and very sweet to the tongue... Kind of a Brown meets Lambic (which means you just pleased the various people of the group). We then decided to grant this fun one 4.25 steins out of 5.

Liefman's Goudenband
Are they trying to implying something about this beer (good and bad)? Wes literally had to sieve out the sediment using a cloth towel. Kind of gross action... but it shows his dedication to tasting beer for you all. This beer has a subtle stout taste that can be found in the aftertaste. This was certainly less good than the other Liefman's we've had, but it still gained a 3.25 out of 5 steins.

Affligem Noel
As you must have guessed by the name, this is a Christmas Ale. Why we drank it in March is beyond me... Retha the Grinch decided to evilly ask, "Is this the last Christmas Ale? I don't like Christmas." Wow, I didn't think Retha had that kind of evil in her. "Woah this thing has balls, that are spicy" added Wes. I guess he's tasted enough balls to know what spicy ones taste like... And someone, whom I forgot to write the name of, said, "Of fuck, that is nasty" which kind of sounds like something Retha usually says. This beer got a gross, out of season, 2 out of 5 steins.

Pauwal Kwak
Heh... those are both funny words to me... Very subtle hoppiness, real spirity, and you can really taste the grain. This beer holds a nice, sort of, Red Ale color. No other notes on this one... so to the rating: 2.25 out of 5 steins (I guess we didn't like the flavors stated).

Lefthand Jackman's American Pale Ale
Really, do you need all those words in the title? I mean c'mon... Real hoppy. Pretty standard Pale Ale; which gets a pretty standard rating of 2.5 out of 5 steins.
