776 Gila Monster Amber Lager United States Vienna / Amber Lager 4.1

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

What a pleasant suprise, this is beer candy. So much carmel flavor its shocking. This would be a bad thing, meaning the beer is unbalanced, but the carmel aroma and flavors are just so strong and thick it really reminded me of carmel apples and halloween.

777 Sierra Nevada Pale Ale United States American Pale Ale 4.5

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

Amazing. This is a wonder to behold. I love the nearly excessive hopping and the sweetness of this beer. Evenly laced the glass all the way down, on nearly every pouring. One of America's finest Pale's.

778 New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale United States Amber Ale 3.9

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

Excellent brew, I love this stuff, somehow it is a bit inconsistent, still, but that must be from the treatment of the product rather than the manufacture. Its readily available at most bars and has a wonderful hop bite with smooth malty mellowness.

779 Michelob Light United States Light / Lite Lager 2.7

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

All imported hops it says, well, I'd love to taste them, but I can't. The malt flavor is thin, but good when I can detect it. Better than most swill, but come on AB, get serious.

780 Schlitz United States Pale Lager 2.0

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 4

Not so bad, pretty bad, but still not so bad. I can see why this may have been a big beer before my time. Tastes just like the typical american macro.

781 Falstaff United States Pale Lager 1.2

Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 2

Terrible, awful, nasty. Don't waste your time or money. No flavor, just a bad hangover, not that I could even drink enough to justify a hangover. Seriously, just stay away.

782 Heilemans Old Style United States Pale Lager 2.4

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

Yard beer heaven. This and PBR are the best brews for downing with a game of washers or cornhole. This one really reminds me of Busch Light, only this is a little better and alot cheaper. Still tastes like a fake beer, but not a bad fake beer.

783 Milwaukees Best Light United States Light / Lite Lager 1.5

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 3

Holy crap, this is awful, the last time I had it was at a party in Nashville, and it was free. Terrible hangover, althought that may have been just from having far too many. Tastes like adjunct.

784 Dos Equis XX Special Lager Mexico Pale Lager 3.1

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

Welp, not much differend than the Amber, I think this one tasted better, it was just trying to be a St. Pauli Girl or something, and like everyone says its the better bet than Corona, every time.

785 Dos Equis XX Amber Mexico Vienna / Amber Lager 2.9

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 6

Much better than Corona, and almost always the same price. Go for this one...German beer brewed in Mexico...that's about what it tastes like. I really couldn't pick out any malt flavor, but it was nice to taste some or any hops in a macro.

786 Corona Light Mexico Light / Lite Lager 1.2

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2

Wow, this sucks. Bland, bland, bland. The only thing i could really taste was the lime everyone insists is a part of this beer, only confirming that its a very weak "brew". Try again, Corona, try again, please.

787 Corona Extra Mexico Pale Lager 1.4

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

Well i generally only drink this in Mexico, at all-inclusive places that my family has paid for and only when they run out of Leon. It really reminds me of water, very expensive water.

788 Harp Ireland Lager 1.7

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 3

Get serious, Ireland! Reminded me alot of Miller Lite and Bud Light, not really any different except it tasted stale (is that even possible?). For the price buy Pilsner Urquell if you really want a european lager.

789 Michelob Amber Bock United States Dunkel / Dark Lager 1.9

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

Dollar drafts at Pasta House before it closed (RIP) and it was either this or Bud Light, and at that price who could resist. But anyway, some maltiness midway through, semi-real looking foam with light lacing, weak aroma, but not awful, and better than the other (former) dollar option, Bud Light.

790 ZiegenBock Amber United States Dunkel / Dark Lager 2.1

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

Blah, um is this just the southern version of AmberBock? I think it is. This had some malt character, but it was certainly vague and remined me a lot of AmberBock, but was just less roasty and more mellow...or maybe that's because the bottle I had was so damn old.

791 Shiner Bock United States Dunkel / Dark Lager 3.4

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

I wasn't too impressed with this bock. It was served everywhere in Dallas and Fort Worth, which I guess makes sense. When it was served to me it was always too cold and that may have affected the aroma and taste, as each time I had a second one, both improved. Nice brown color and malty, not sweet nor too hoppy.

792 Chimay Cinq Cents (White) Belgium Abbey Tripel 4.6

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 10 | Overall: 9

Wow. This was fantastic. I had this instead of champagne for new year's 2005, and I could not have made a better decision. The corked bottle unleashed a rich fruity aroma of everything from raisens to orange and even clove. What stood out was the persistant carbonation and how well the aromas transferred to taste, not to mention how smooth and still bubbly it came across the tongue with a hint of alcohol.

793 75th Street Cow Town Wheat United States American Wheat 3.9

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

Let me say that to like this, you should really be a fan of American wheat ales. This is the single most refresthing beer I have had, and is quite delicious, slightly grassy, somewhat citrusy and a light malt to play off the rich wheat. This beer produced the best head and lacing of any American Wheat I've yet seen. It is slightly watery, but the subtle flavors really come through in this 'lighter' beer. RERATE: While still quite an American Wheat beer, I've had bolder and more interesting takes since. However, I'll never say to a Cowtown...unless I'm driving or something...wait, that's a bad idea with 75th Street involved...

794 St. Pauli Girl Lager Germany Bohemian / Czech Pilsener 3.6

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

This is not my favorite pilsner, nor do I think it is anyone's favorite pils. It is still good, though. Nice corn flavor and aroma with some hop bitterness. Nothing special, but worth a try, and good for converting the BMC customers.

795 Franziskaner Hefeweissebier Dunkel Germany Dunkel Weizen 3.6

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

Not as good as the standard Hefeweissebier from Franziskaner. Seems like the beer is trying to be too many things. My bottle poured too flat and the hops came across, but weakly, probably worth another look, though.

796 Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier Germany Hefeweizen 4.4

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

Very wonderful head upon pouring with a heavy aroma of cloves. Cloudy and golden, but the lacing lacked. The clove scent carried over to heavily to the taste, however.

797 Hollandia Premium Netherlands Lager 3.1

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

This was a pretty average European lager, reminded me of Harp's but with a more biting hop presence in aroma and flavor, but generally it was weak. The mild flavor was simple, nothing special, but still pleasant.

798 75th Street Good Hope IPA United States IPA 3.8

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

I liked it, good amber color that was hard to describe with good lacing, excellent bite and apparent alcohol flavor. Not exceptionally balanced, but a good hoppy brew. Weak aroma...but that may have been from all the smoke in their bar. Oh yea, and it was not only on tap, but on tap at the brewery, always a plus.

799 Bud Light United States Light / Lite Lager 1.5

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

I'm usually wordy on these things. Not this time: A good starter beer and (very) overpriced. Spend a little more and pick up (or ask for) something with some flavor.

800 Miller Lite United States Light / Lite Lager 2.0

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

True pilsner? Hmm well if that's so then Budweiser is the KOB (both ludicrious claims, of course). Watery, some hop flavor (no aroma, I can detect) which ain't too bad for some macro crap. Blah, boring, cheap and good for offering (female) guests (they seem to like it). If you're on this site, read about something more intersting, you've had this already, anyway.
