twa Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) I once drank something called bud light lime. Anyone ever heard of it? usually found in the fruit section net to the bud chelada they did make one called Tequiza that was pretty good on a hot day, but it takes more than fruit to make up for Bud that Widmer sounds interesting Edited May 6, 2012 by twa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 The Sam Adams Summer Variety pack may be the best ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeJGibbs Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) Lion's Head is a great no frills beer. Prob the best tasting, cheap beer I've had. (Brewed in Scranton) Most things from Troeg's, Bell's, Brooklyn, Sam Smtih or Victory breweries. Victory Golden Monkey Christmas time(Troeg's Mad Elf) is awwwwwwwwwwesome and will put you on your arse. Sam Adams Cherry Wheat Sam Adams Lite is the best domestic light beer imo, but it's $30 a case, which is steep for a lite beer, but it's really crisp. Miller Lite is my "I'm going to be drinking all day" beer. Edited May 6, 2012 by JoeJGibbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) This is from Troegs, their spring seasonal. They should brew this year round... Edited May 6, 2012 by Dan T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twa Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Had my 1st Victoria today, came with a lime slice stuck in it and went down from there....better than water I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) Funny, the New Belgium Belgo kinda reminds me of the Widmer Bros Spiced IPA I just had. Hop/yeast mix gives it a sort of spiced overtone. Yeast is dominant with herbal hops backing it up. Easy to chug and 7%, good craft to get a buzz off of.

#98QBKiller Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I had one of these tonight: (not my pic) And if you're a stout fan I highly recommend it. Nice hints of chicory/coffee/chocolate great change up from the IPA kick I've been on for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Heavy Seas Sea Nymph Summer Ale By far and away the worst beer by Heavy Seas that I've had. Like an American lager, little sweeter, not as metallic. Hay, straw, napkin, feint hop and pale malt presence. A touch of banana perhaps, but not interested enough to keep searching for it. Way too expensive for a beer on the "refreshment" side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSkins561 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Heavy Seas has gone down hill lately, something is wrong with their HOP3, it's not what it use to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Just had a couple Presidentes on my drive back from looking at a car. Great refreshing, it's Caribbean hot kinda beer. Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye IPA is pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSkins561 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Don't tell me that! Will be getting a 6er soon to see what you mean. Something is off with it, it kind of reminded me of Lancaster Hop Hog which IMO is more malty than hoppy. If you see Sierra Nevadas Hoptimum, get it, probably one of the better Imperial IPA's i've had lately, if you like DFH 90 Minute, you'll love Hoptimum.

S.T.real,lights,out Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Widmer Brothers Rotator Series Spiced IPAVery hazy, burnt orange color, small white head. Fantastic caramel & orange candy-like aroma. Flavor is the same, with a huge herbal hop presence. There are an array of spices in this beer, and it's easy to notice the pepper and ginger. After I read that it has black tea, cinnamon and clove in it, those flavors became somewhat apparent as well. Bitterness is high pitched, but not too strong. I tell ya, this is a fantastic beer. ABV is 7% and there is a ton going on here, she's a hefty one, I kind of wish I could have gotten a 3 pack of this. Two for now and 1 for the stash. Looks like it'll be 4 in the stash, and I'm not complaining. Thanks for the suggestion QBK (AKA Elvis Sinosic). That sounds really really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great refreshing, it's Caribbean hot kinda beer.Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye IPA is pretty damn good. Presidente is one of the few beers I drink down there. Its really hard to find up here. There is a "Virgin Islands" beer down there that comes in fruit flavors like mango. It was really interesting when I drank it. Blackbeard ale is really good as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy Seas has gone down hill lately, something is wrong with their HOP3, it's not what it use to be. yep. a few years ago, it was my absolute favorite. doesnt have the hop bite that it used to. the sierra nevada torpedo has replaced it as my go-to. i wonder if the price of hops has something to do with the change in taste. i toured the clipper city brewery a few years ago and the guide talked alot about how the price of hops was increasing as fewer farmers are growing hops. hmmmm... i need to know if i'm the only one who seems to constantly get skunky or oxidized beer from flying dog? tastes like moldy, wet cardboard. i'm done with them.

Knick Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) Price and ability to be cold?Shaffer is huge down here too. Pricing and alcoholism. Mind you, where I live there's a large number of bums and Central American immigrants, mostly Guatemalans and Salvadoreans, where "bum beers" like Natural Ice, Steel Reserve, Keystone Light, Busch, etc are staple to them. It only cost a buck to get a can that is bigger than the average-size beer can and a quick way to get drunk - cheap. I'll tell you these Guatemalan and Salvadorean alcoholics can hang. I mean hang. ****-faced drunk while riding a bike normally. . I personally don't like Busch. It leaves you with your breath funky plus crappy taste. I only drink it because when I visit my frienda, their mother and others(friends as well and Salvadoreans) always have Busch on them and invite me one most of the time. - From the mind of a fair light-skinned Honduran immigrant...

I've noticed a difference also. Maybe it's the variety, or quantity, of the hops? I think either last year, or late '10, the ABV went down %0.25 Not sure why. A cost saving measure perhaps? In any case, it just doesn't have the same bite or flavor as it used to. At least that's the case in bottles. Had some recently on draft, and it was good.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Wow, of all the beers to shortchange. They should just scrap the damn Sea Nymph and put the money saved in to the Hop3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSkins561 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) While in Virginia i scored some Founders Breakfast Stout, the seller only had it cold errr, just cracking into this bombdizzle, it lives up t it's ratings, what an incredible stout, I would call it perfect. Can't wait for this one to warm up a little. Edited May 13, 2012 by GoSkins561 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
