Last Beer You Drank: Rate It

[Echo419]

Coors Light
Rating: 8
It was cold, and the bartender that served it to me looked like Iryna Ivanova, so that made it rate higher.

I just googled her and HERRO! Jana Kramer might have some competition.

had a couple of Corona's a couple of weeks ago. 7-10 only because I was craving one for some reason.

Last one I had was called Hoegaarden.
9/10

I won't pretend to know anything about tastes of citrus or body or blah blah blah blah. All I know I don't particularly like beer (prefer liquor) but I enjoyed this one. Didn't taste like piss water, had a good full flavor.

Killians Irish Red

There is always a time and place, and at this time and this place, these achieve a solid 7.5-8/10.

Happy hour makes them $1.25 a pint and they are accompanied by a $4, 1/2 lb. hamburger with all the typical fixings and regular french fries at the local pub. Awesome.

Coors & PBR are both getting an 8?

Well I can't contribute much, because that leaves all of about 2 points to fit in the entire gamut of European biers. I think ya'll need to recalibrate your standards.

On my scale, Keystone gets a 0.1. So AMERICAN Budweiser gets about a 2-3. Meaning that Coors & PBR max at maybe a 4. MAYBE.

-Black Cab. Not bad for a dark beer, though I'm not really a dark beer fan. Maybe 6/10.
-Kriek. Cherry flavored bier. Not as sweet as you might expect. Solid 7.5/10 or so.
-Desperados. Tequila flavored beer. One of two that I tried, actually. I enjoyed it. This one wasn't quite as good as the other, but still 8/10.
-Grimbergen Blonde. Belgian pale bier. 7/10 any day of the week. Arguably the best blonde I've ever had, slightly edging out Leffe.
-Brand Oud Bruin. Best bier I've ever had. 9.7/10. Dark bier that tastes light and has a hint of plum. Epic does not begin to describe it. Maybe DuTTch can chime in.

The rating was based more on the atmosphere and the bartender. Everyone knows a Coors Light doesn't rate an 8 on it's own.

Corona is now the fifth bestselling beer in the U.S., selling more than double the amount of Heineken, the next most popular import. It’s growing while the rest of the beer business is drying up or being siphoned off by new small-batch brewers. Last year, Corona sales rose 4 percent.....
Here’s the curious thing: Corona is not very good—at least by most critical accounts.

After 3,200 reviews at RateBeer.com, Corona has a grade of 1.69 out of 10. The Beer Advocate gives Corona an “awful” rating of 55 out of 100 and the following description: “faded aromas of sulphur, faint skunk, mild cooked veggies.”

I'm no big Corona fan by any means but every once in a while I'll get in the mood for one with a lime. in it. whatever. I just find it funny how "critics"(in anything really) will tell me what I'm supposed to like and why something so subjective as taste should be good or bad. of course these are usually the same people that will tell you putting redicilous things like chocolate or hot peppers in beer is a good idea. I maintain half of these people only say they think these things are good to appear to other beer snobs.

True story:
I have a beer on tap at my bar labeled "Bob's Beer". it's the cheapest thing we can get in a keg. currently that is Keystone light. I had some guy come in and sit at the bar one night telling the bartender how he was a beer conseur and how he's brewed some of his own beers. well he had a sample of "Bob's". the guy then said, now that's a good beer. I'll have one of those. GTFO dude!

The last beer I drank? Idk, it was a long night, I don't remember.

Almost any beer can be gagged-down if it's cold enough.

I discovered early on I didn't like Corona or Dos Equis or any Mexican beer, frankly.

The truth is, unless you're drinking German/European brews, you aren't drinking anything that'll go down well unless it's ice-cold.

As a consequence, that is MY taste-test: If it sucks at room-temp, it sucks, period.

This fact has not, however, precluded my drinking domestic stuff, long as it's pretty damn cold; a corollary to my taste-test is that beer is like pizza - even the worst can be made to work.

Having said all THAT - don't ever approach me with a bottle of Red Stripe...egad, that shit is horrible.

It is on that note that I find this to be such an interesting read. Don't get me wrong, I still think that most of the claims about how something tastes or whatever are hogwash, but if you are in the mood for a particular glass of wine or a certain beer, drink that wine or that beer. Who gives a fat fuck about how bad or good someone else says it is, so long as you enjoy it and aren't pretentious about it.

I'm with Kev. Cold tends to mask flaws in a beverage. But when you have a good Belgian bier that's chilled...now that's insanely awesome.
