Topic: Karnaj's Beer in Review - good beer, shit beer

Today's Beer in Review is a mixed bag. Some of the beers I've tried recently were complete shit, while others were quite good. Let's start with the good.

Blue Moon Honey Moon - Blue Moon's summer seasonal beer, this is a clarified blonde ale with, shockingly, honey added to it. It's a good summer beer, because it's light and crisp, so you could get away drinking it on the Fourth of July. I personally found it lighter than Sam Adams Summer Ale, which means that Honey Moon didn't compare favorably in my eyes. Also, the batch I got was pretty strong on the honey flavor, which I have mixed feelings about. Sweet beer should be sweet because of the malts used, not because you drizzled a jar of honey in it. Still, this'll be in my rotation for the upcoming summer. Rating: 6.5 out of 10 buckets of anus blood.

Leinenkugel's Honey Weiss - Shit. Unremarkable, flavorless shit. You want to try this beer? Buy yourself a Miller Lite and stir in a spoonful of honey in. No, maybe half a spoonful. It's not explicitly offensive, it's just nothing. Probably the worst beer outside the usual suspects that I've had in a while. Rating: 3 out of 10 buckets of anus blood

Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat - I spoke too soon. You think I would've learned my lesson, but I decided to give this brewery another shot. Let me be clear: this is beer in name only. It's so fucking syrupy sweet that it's basically a Zima with beer-type coloring added. Wheat? What wheat? Sunset? Perhaps over Candyland. This is like training beer, for people who like girly drinks and can't stand beer--and that is its only possible application. Atrocious! Rating: 1.5 out of 10 buckets of anus blood

And finally...

Sam Adams Irish Red - Picked up a sixer of this a few weeks back, and I gotta say, it's a damn fine red. Good malty texture, strong but not overwhelming hops, nice aftertaste. Easily comparable to Killian's or Smithwick's. Rating: 7 out of 10 buckets of anus blood

Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat sounds like a beer for me. I can't stomach beer...I like mixed drinks instead.

i maintain my stance that this is still the best description you've given of a beer

"This beer drops trou and fucks your mouth with pure hoppy goodness."

Dont make me slap you so hard your bucket spins around, and around,and stops sideways,thus confusing you, and making you run about London wearing your bucket, a g-string, and carrying a stick,smacking the ground while yelling "MAGICALLY DELICIOUS! MAGICALLY FUCKING DELICIOUS!"- {Tal} to Mortious

Leine's are actually pretty good if you aren't after a hardcore regular type of beer. They may not be the best numero uno beer out there, but I don't think they're as bad as you make them out to be.

Nothing leaps to mind. See, even beers like Beast or Keystone Light are designed with a specific purpose: to go down easy and be refreshing. They're not meant to taste like much of anything, so you don't have much in the way of expectations for them. They'd probably get a between a 2 and a 3.

The Sunset Wheat, OTOH, actively offends me. It has tried to be something other than shit beer, and it has failed. It is worse than shit beer. It's shit beer that's been utterly ruined by dumping a bottle of high fructose corn syrup into it. The only reason I didn't give it a zero is because girls and homosexuals who can't stand beer might like it, so it could at least serve some sort of purpose.

Sunset wheat is like having a party in your mouth. Yes it doesn't taste like beer, but that doesn't mean it doesn't taste good as fuck.

I don't, I steal it from friends.

FYI I have no job right now, because my school hours don't allow it and I can't find anything that'll work around my schedule, and every cent I manage to make babysitting or whatever goes to car payments, which I need to get to school. I'm far from rolling in it.

Hence the need for vodka!

Oh, and the 17$ a month for gamefly, which I would kill myself without. The vice, the vice.

That's a pretty weak excuse. There are people out there going fulltime to school, maintaining a good GPA mind you, WHILE working 1-2 jobs. So what if you have to deal with 6 hours of sleep instead of 8. Or if you have to work evenings instead of during the day. That's life, especially when you owe someone money. Look at night jobs, they tend to pay well. I'm sure there's a UPS or Fedex nearby you could look at.

Or guess what, fast food industries crave college students like you. Hook up with them.

Not bad, was watching this one dude run his car over pedestrians and phone booths earlier. Then he rammed a guy into a building and went to the strip club afterwards.
