The Kick Box - On Hip!

There's bass on ...And Justice for All?

 

Fuckin Lars.

 

YALL DON'T EVEN SMOKE CRACK!!!!!

 

Low carb beers are drinkable. I would never buy one but I wouldn't turn one down if I had nothing and someone gave me one.

 

I don't disagree. In 90+ degree weather almost anything cold tastes good. I guess I would look at it akin to being more like "beer" flavored seltzer water than actual beer, though.

 

I just may steal that "beer flavored seltzer" from you.

 

I lied I would buy one if it was cheap just to add a notch to my untappd count.

 

Local store has Sam's neipa for $15 a case.
Usually when they have those big sales it's out of date stuff but this has a Sept. 2018 stamp on the can. Got one case and it tastes just fine to me. I will be picking up more before heading back to nj.

 

Tried this recently, and it was really good! Mango Blue Moon.

 

Ice cold Hurricane .. get yer Ice Cold Hurricane..

 

Every time I order a blue moon at a bar, I say 'keep the fruit' and I swear to god at that moment I think I'm the coolest motherfucker on the planet.

 

oberon ale. its mks.

 

Not drinking Blue Moon.

lol

Blue Moon is a beer for women who "hate beer".

I can't completely dog it. It is a lousy Coors beer, but it was one of the beers that got me into drinking "better" beer many years ago.

But yeah, a lot of people still drink this beer not knowing Coors makes it, or thinking that it is craft beer, which obviously it's not.

 

It's cool. I drink Coors too.

I keep the classy pretty uniform.

 

Yeah, I was just riffing on the "I have a low carb..." thing.
Didn't bother checking the bottle, cause like you said... it's tequila...

And yeah, I never look at the carbs of my beers.
I'm not drinking beer to be healthy, lol.
(Plus, at an average of 3 beers a week, it's not like I'm piling on the beer carbs.)

 

So, anyway, before I continue on reading this thread, lemme get this first review posted.

Beer #1:

(Alc. 6%)
(Bell's - Kalamazoo Stout)

Smell: Chocolate nibs up first, with a bready body on it's heels. Bold, dark coffee softly layered just underneath the primary notes.

Taste: Dark chocolate enters hand-in-hand with dark coffee. An easy, bready body follows, with distant smokey vanilla notes.

Overall, not a bad stout. Tastes like it has more of a punch than just 6% alcohol, but not overly-boozy or anything... just it's a fairly stout, um, stout.
But yeah, it's smooth enough, although it has a bit of boozy warmth on the back end, but it doesn't linger.



(And no, there's no pic to go with Kalamazoo. )

 

Alrighty, now switching gears to the far lane, it's time for...

Beer #2:

(Alc. 10%)
(Stillwater - Blown Speakers)

Smellin: Sweet pineapple, mango, and grapefruit up front. Hints of vanilla lofted by the (mostly) cracker body, then a pinch of pepper under it all.

Tastin: Pineapple pith steps forward, notes of mango and grapefruit follow after. A somewhat boozy, biscuity body dominates the middle, with pepper notes on it's belly.

Overallin: I'm a bit surprised at the turn-around from smell to taste. I expected this to be sweeter than it is. Instead, it's got a thick body that's boozier and more bitter than I expected. Still, not a horrible beer, but not my favorite from Stillwater.



Aaand, instead of a pic, I have this related throwback (that I only thought of because it came on in the car just as I was about to park after getting home from getting these beers!):

 

Not great, but still...when are you going to hire me as your pic assistant?

 

Nice work!
I can pay you in promised drinks if we ever meet IRL.
If not, then, um... gratitude and a Follow on Twitter (if you're on there)?

Either way, thanks!
I hate giving up on finding pics, but sometimes it takes too long and I'm all like... I just wanna hang out and post wasted shit, lol.
