Sierra Nevada BigFoot

Short head, very short hold time.
Strong hops smell.
Good reddish color.
Strong alcohol taste, small malt, stronger hops.

More like something you sip, but if you want a typical beer taste this isn't for you.  The alcohol really overpowers all the other tastes.

Rating : 5

Brooklyn Local 1

Any bottle only sold  >12oz is fun.  Strong carbonation during pouring.

Sweet wheat taste, low but independent hops taste. 

Haze color almost American Pilsner like, but wheat is predominate.

Great wheat beer that will get your American Pilsner friends into something other than that.


Rating: 7.....6 if you like a more hoppy taste

Titan IPA

Less carbonated so pour aggressively.  Long lasting head is forgiving of a novice.  Head smells of equal parts malt and hops with both notes being discernable.                      Mouth-feel is clean with a strong malt start and strong hop finish.  Hops are have a very good, strong citrus flower flavor.                                                                              Beer Rating = 6

Sierra Nevada Wheat

Much better choice than my last entry.
Light malt but enough that you know it's a wheat beer. Very slight hint of spice, slight citrus.
Mouth-feel is excellent, not too heavy, not too light.
Cloudy due to it being unfiltered, but still a light yellow.
Hops are the clean flowery flavor that Sierra Nevada is known for (try their Torpedo if you want to know what their hops are all about).
Hops keep the head strong for ~1-2 min.

Grade 1-10 = 7

Bud Wheat

So I hate to have to start off a beer drinkers blog with something from Budweiser, but I decided to use this as a jump off point. I need to test out my !*&$%^#$ blogging.

So what can I say about this substandard drink?

To sum this beer into one sentence, "A Bud Light copy with underpowered orange hints, zero spice, and a ricey after taste that is the staple of Bud beers."

The only plus I can see to this beer is this could be the way to dupe your friends into trying other, "SCARIER!!!!" beers. The ones that get that unenthusiastic face which says, "I'm afraid, I want something that everyone drinks.

1-10 scale = 2

So here we are, wondering just what this blog could possibly be about. Fortunately you're going to have some help. The journey through different beers can be pretty hairy, but I hope to be able to help you with some suggestions.

If you like craft beers, you'll love this blog.

If you are willing to try craft beers, you'll love this blog.

If stouts, porters, IPAs, Weisses, and any other beer that isn't "____ Light" then maybe this can be your calling to a better beer.
