 This is the best beer, you can buy it at Albertsons. loving good beer. Has west coast notes, with a glacier fresh mouth feel. Great while out fishing, hiking, skiing, or PC gaming.

I get what you're saying a lot of the time, but you're crazy if you can't taste the difference between a hefeweizen that tastes of banana or one that tastes of clove As for summer beers, I'm way into radlers, russns, and Summer Solstice cream ale from Anderson Valley i am Not a Real Man

Mouthfeel is how it feels in your mouth, does it feel like you're drinking water or a milkshake? Also banana notes are from yeasts that give of esters, British tends to be fruity or cherry pie, German's Hefeweizen gives banana or clove. Brett yeast can give smokey, barn house, pineapple and other aromas and flavours.

ABen posted:Weihenstephaner is the best beer in the world, so that's fine. But I lived in Seattle for the past 3 or 4 years, and I definitely got very sick of the "all of the hops, all of the time" mindset. And I really liked the stuff (IPAs) - to a degree. Also, not a big fan of double/Imperial IPAs. A bit too hoppy. Give me a Helles any day and I'll be happy, though. Imperial IPAs and the like go really well with something spicy as poo poo, drinking them alone is rough. Since you lived in Seattle you probably are familiar with the 7stars szechuan place, something like Snoqualmie Falls IPA goes great with the peppercorns from that place. I tend to just drink regular ales like Manny's though, because when I'm out I want to drink a gallon of beer, not 3 pints.

vaginal culture posted:Nah I don't believe it is real. Its just made up poo poo. People all gaslighting each other. Barn house lmao. If you listened at school in your science class you'd know all about Esters & Phenols.  Esters Esters provide a huge portion of yeast-derived beer flavor. They tend to come off as fruity in flavor, but each ester tastes a little different. There's Isoamyl acetate, which tastes like banana Runts. There's ethyl acetate, which tastes like nail polish remover. There's ethyl caprylate and caproate, which taste like apples, pears, or anise. Generally speaking, ester production is directly related to fermentation, and warmer fermentation temps increase their presence. There's many other factors at play here, especially the strain of yeast being used, but the lower fermentation temperature is why you don't encounter esters as overtly in lagers as you do in ales. Phenols Phenols, which also occur in every beer, are produced not just from yeast, but also from other beer ingredients or chemicals like chlorine found in brewing water. (For example, tannins are a type of phenol present in both hops and malt). But we're talking about yeast here, and there are a couple well-known and easily-identifiable yeast-derived phenols that you'll encounter in your pint. If you've ever had a real hefeweizen, you've tasted 4-vinyl guaiacol. Most commonly compared to a clove-like spiciness, it is produced by yeast's interaction with ferulic acid, which is found in barley. You may have also tasted 4-ethyl phenol—produced by the wild yeast Brettanomyces. This is the phenol people are talking about when they refer to "horse blanket" or "barnyard" character in a beer.

They have aromas very much like those, our tongue can't really taste that much apart from the primary bitter, sweet, sour, salty and umami. Our nose however picks up pretty much all the other smells and aromas. It's not snake oil stop trolling my thread vaginal culture!

Belgium vs Algeria Belgium Don't worry there will be a sour but for the first game I recommend Rochefort Trappistes 10 (Brewed by Brasserie Rochefort) 11.3%.  COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION The top product from the Rochefort Trappist brewery. Dark color, full and very impressive taste. Strong plum, raisin, and black currant palate, with ascending notes of vinousness and other complexities. For all its complexity, and the alcohol strength, it’s an extraordinarily pleasurable beer to drink. It looks great, with the head persisting on top of the mahogany body right to the end of the glass. The aroma leads you into an amazing range of perfectly balanced flavours - malt loaf, delicately spiced toffee pudding, plums, brown sugar, cream, sherry, molasses. A full creamy body with tongue-tingling carbonation. I give it 10/10.  Algeria Algeria: Contrary to widely held belief, they do brew beer in Algeria. And it's called Tango. So there's comedy value too. If you can't find it, then just drink some of the orange fizzy stuff, and pretend it's Bud. There's little difference. Tango  Straw yellow colour blah blah blah blah it's a lager, can't find it just drink whatever pale lager you have. Fluo fucked around with this message at 01:54 on Jun 17, 2014 |

Esthers are what is used in artificial flavours. So it might taste like your typical "Banana" or "Strawberry" flavoured food item. So about as real as banana flavoured milk.

Belgium 2 - 1 Algeria, Rochefort Trappistes 10 goes through! Now Brazil vs Mexico Brazil Baden Baden Red Ale Especial (brewed by Cervejaria Baden Baden) one of the first microbreweries in Brazil  ! 9.2%. Appearance: Amber dark red with a creamy head with low retention, making a lacing in the end. Smell: Caramel and herbal citric hops making a good remarkable bouquet. Taste: Follows the nose with a surprise bitterness in the begginning, that become more alcoholic and sweet after some time. Mouthfeel: Warmth alcoholic with low carbonation and very sweet aftertaste. Mexico Dos Equis Amber Lager (Brewed by Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma, S.A. de C.V)  Appearance: Pours a crystal clear medium to dark amber in color with light amounts of active visible carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass and some copper highlights. The beer has a finger tall fizzy foamy off-white head that reduces to a large patch of thin film covering almost the entire surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Light to moderate amounts of lacing are observed. Smell: Moderate aromas of toasted malts and caramel with lighter aromas of corn adjuncts. Taste: Upfront there are moderate flavors of toasted and caramel malts with just a hint of corn adjuncts and a light amount of sweetness. Minimal amounts of bitterness in the finish which does not linger for long. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Relatively smooth.

Brazil 0 - 0 Mexico, no beer going through.Tzen posted:Yes. It's always the cheapest beer in stores/bars. Is it a decent pale lager cheap and easy drink? Russia vs South Korea Russia  As you know Imperial Russian Stouts were never brewed in Russia but Britain and exported to the Russian Elite at that time. So what about Russian beer? Baltika is owned by Calsberg but apparently brewed in St Petersburg however it tastes like any of the other lagers you can get with that slight difference each of them have, it's on sale in Tescos though if someone wants an easy to get Russian beer for the future Russian matches. However won't be doing it today but giving a heads up, I have no idea however how easy it's to get in North America. Is Mccarthyism still going on up there? Not a winner beer though. Na Zdorovye! If any of you are homebrewers you could try and brew a Kvass 2.5% beer. I'll post the recipe in a bit of the one I use, drink young etc. Anyway so the beer I've gone for today is Klinskoye Svetloe 4.5%  Klinskoye is a pale beer with clear taste and soft hop bitterness. It is a flagship brand of the SUN Interbrew Group of companies in Russia and holds a leading position in the Russian beer market. Skillful brewers have developed several varieties: Klinskoye Svetloye (4.5% ABV); Klinskoye Zolotoye (4.5% ABV); Klinskoye Lux (5% ABV); Klinskoye Redkoye (5.8% ABV); Klinskoye Arriva (4.5% ABV) and Available in multiple varieties with Klinskoye Svetloe being the most popular, this brand labels itself a crisp and hoppy beer that is specially brewed with rice to remove the beer's natural bitter taste. This process not only weirds out beer lovers, but also adds to the beer's ability to quickly quench thirst... while being a beer and simultaneously contributing to unquenchable thirst! To finish up, it was only a couple of years ago when beer became alcohol in Russia, prior to it beer was a "soft drink". quote:Many Russians consider beer a soft drink – a light refresher that can be guzzled on the way to work or sucked down in great quantities before a picnic and a swim in the river. South Korea  In South Korea only two of the most popular beers are made from 100% barley malt. The rest are brewed from rice. Although South Korean beers are not commonly imported to other countries, they are popular with the nationals as imported beer is much more expensive. Microbreweries however stick to 100% barley malt or other malts without thinning out their beer with rice. I'll go with the most easy to get one here and save the craft for next time. Hite 4.5%           You get the idea, it's South Korea's Budweiser. The top-selling beer in South Korea. Hite lager is sweet and golden, with thin body and minimal head. It is styled upon American rice lagers such as Budweiser. It is brewed from barley malt and rice. Along with OB and Cass, Hite is often found on draft in South Korean bars and pubs. Most drinkers consider the draft versions of Hite, Oriental Brewery and Cass to be more or less interchangeable in price and taste, as most South Korean beers are brewed from rice.

Australia vs Netherlands Australia Coopers Best Extra Stout (Brewed by Coopers Brewery Limited) 6.3%. Can't have a World Beer Cup without Aussies having Coopers. The 3rd one will most likely be a beer like Little Creatures Pale Ale but this time around it's Coopers Best Extra Stout.  Pours out a dark, beautiful black, slight touch of brown with a tight looking 1.5 inch head, and great, lacing streaking down the glass. Smells potent, some cocoa powder, smoke, and roasted malt. Smells even more concentrated straight from the neck of the bottle. Tastes dark, dark, dark. Probably the best export stout I've ever had. Some espresso bitterness, a bit of baker's chocolate, some tea-like hop bitterness, and some light dark fruit flavors. A lot of roasted malt flavor, but it's not overpowering at all. Some black bready pumpernickel flavors as well. Bit of licorice. Medium bodied, quite thick for a stout of its ABV. Just really full and lovely. Medium carbonation, supremely drinkable. Creamy, smooth, mouthfeel, almost nitro-like, but not so flattened out. COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Now here’s a beer with punch. Coopers Stout is a beacon for lovers of a hearty brew. With its robust flavour comprising a blend of fruit, chocolate and hop bitter notes it’s everything a stout should be. Brewed naturally using a top fermentation method, Coopers Stout’s unique rich, dark texture comes from specially roasted black malt. I've had better stouts but this is a good stout. Netherlands So I'll use a cheap and easy card for this one. The choice was between Heineken, Amstel or Grolsch. So I will put it to you. Just say which out Heineken, Amstel or Grolsch you'd rather have. Amstel or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFCSZSqSskk Heineken or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-51adxDx83I Grolsch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwTVl4iaXoU Edit: Grolsch wins.

Also I tend to ignore beeradvocate and ratebeer cause anything which isn't 10% gets like minus 10points and such. But I'll keep an eye out next couple of days as weird State beers end up over here once in while. Like that Texcan lone star one. I bought it for the last episode of true detective, it was okish.  Growlers never really picked up in the UK, cause it has always and always will have the stigma label of being a train spotter member of CAMRA who collects stamps. But a great selection of bottle shops here, even some of the pubs have a takeaway price on their bottles. By the time you got the cask beer home it'd be flat.
