227 Guinness Draught Ireland Dry Stout 3.5

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Not much of a stout person, the beer poured a dark black, with a tanish head that stayed around for quite some time. It has an aroma of chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor is strong and a little smoky, with plenty of hoppy bitterness with a nutty mouth filling character and interesting bubble effects.

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

stouts are not my fav. Beer pours a very black color with a nice large off-white to tan head, with a nice aroma of coffee and chocolate. The taste is like any other Guinness that of coffee and chocloate.

231 Kaliber Ireland Reduced Alcohol 2.5

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

Pours a clear straw yellow, small white head with a little bit of lace. The aroma is sweet, like dough. A bit like unfermented wort. The taste has a hint of green apple tartness, chalky yeast tones, and no hop flavor with vague suggestions of watery caramel and mild toasted qualities. Light bodied, feels like beer. Good carbonation and crisp. Not bad for a near beer.

232 Murphy's Irish Stout Ireland Dry Stout 3.0

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

Pours a solid, midnight black, with about a small cream colored head that isn't going anywhere, and neither is the solid lacing. The aroma isn't t much of anything. Very faint coffee roast, but nothing else. The taste is of burnt, watered down coffee. Grainy. Underwhelming malt, and not much else at all. The mouthfeel is smooth, creamy, and watered-down. Stouts and Porters are not my favorite style of beer.

234 Guinness Black Lager Ireland Schwarzbier 3.1

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6

pours extremely dark brown, virtually black and forms a rather large, bubbly light tan head that leaves some minimal lacing on the way down. The aroma is of roasted malts with a hint of coffee. The taste is fairly thin flavor of roasted malts, biscuit, and a hint of smoke and minimal grassy hops. The mouthfeel is on the lighter side of medium, this one is really quite thin in body. Appropriate carbonation. Very mild bitterness.

235 Goldstar Israel Pale Lager 3.1

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6

Pours a murky light brown color with no head and very light carbonation and no lacing. Fairly light in color for a dark beer! The aroma is of bready malts, dark fruits, sweet fruity malts. The taste is a drop from the aroma which was of grain and bready malts, wheat, sweet fruity malts, and maybe some rye. The mouth feel is light to medium body and moderate carbonation.

240 Birra Moretti Italy Lager 3.0

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

pour a dark straw colored brew with a small white head which dissipates quickly. Lacing is sparse and spotty. The aroma is supremely skunky. with and even metallic yeast. The taste is of bitter malts which hit first followed by a sweaty, salty quality. The finish is cooling and refreshing, with some light sugars to cut the initial bittering. The aftertaste breathes with more bitter malts, and light metallics. The beer drinks easily.

241 Peroni Premium Lager Italy Lager 3.0

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

Pours a light golden colour with a hint of white head that disappears pretty quickly. The beer leaves some hints of lacing on the glass though. The aroma is light grainy, but decently fresh if compared to other industrial lagers. A slight floral hint from the hops. The taste is pretty much what the smell suggested, crisp, grainy malts with some light floral notes, expecially on the tongue. Decently refreshing and overall nicely balanced on the bitter/sweet combination. No unpleasant metallic bitterness. The mouthfeel is light body and quite watery mouthfeel, with a nice amount of carbonation. Over all this is a very simple and decently refreshing beer, and it does not have any major flaws.

242 Red Stripe Jamaica Lager 2.5

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

Decent aroma, has virtually no head, a little light on carbonation, easy to drink in warm weather or when laying on a beach. This beer works well with"hot" foods as it's light and doesn't fill you up.

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

A lot less flavor the regular red stripe, would adives to just skip the light version altoether and stick with the regular version. Only benefit is a few less calories.

246 Asahi Super Dry Japan Lager 2.5

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

pours a very pale yellow color with a foamy white head. The aroma is almost non-existent, I just noticed grain and a slight grass aroma. The taste doesn't have much, just a hint of grain and lemon. Very light with lots of carbonation and it actually is pretty dry. I could see this being refreshing on a hot day, not much else going on though.

pours clear with a pale straw color with small white thin head with little lacing or staying power. The aroma was light pale malty sweetness, with a hint of grassy hops.

250 Hitachino Nest Red Rice Ale Japan Belgian Strong Ale 3.2

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6

Pours a thick opaque rose color with a tinge of orange and no real head to speak of or lacing. The aroma is fragrant, sweet, tart with hints of strawberry, peach, rose, white grape juice, and a very light hint of funk. The taste is sweet strawberry, rose water, peach, and a very light citrus tartness, which is all balanced by an underlying soft bitterness. Very tasty! The mouthfeel is medium to full, almost nectar-like body with medium to low carbonation.
