So I have left England for a bit and hope to return with some memories of a few good beers (also family memories!). So far it has been bleh on the beer front. The Stone IPA on draft was good but I am partial to Stone Brewing. the few bottles of the other stuff I have had is as follows.
Shiner Double Wheat 102 - An alright wheat beer but is overpowering on the sweet side.
Shiner Black Lager - Probably won't revisit it. Not that it was bad but it was just an ok lager with some roasted flavors to it.
Shiner Oktoberfest - Another German style wheat but much to sweet for the style.
New Belgium Ranger - I was looking forward to this one as it advertises as a hop monster. It was decent but not memorable at all. Very little malt taste and for being a 6.5 you would have thought it would have a little. The hops was ok but left a bit of a peppery feel in my stomach and not much of an after taste. I would have thought NB would have put out something a little better.
That's all I have for now but there is a trip to a major beer store coming up and I have a small list of a few that I am looking to try from Dog Fish, Russian River and West Coast breweries.
Later,
Tim
