Beer Review #8

Rickard's White
5.4% Alcohol/volume
Molson Breweries
Style: Belgian white Beer (Witbier)


Appearance: When the beer was poured into the glass it
                    created a good foamy two inches of head.
                    The beer itself remained fairly cloudy and the
                    color of apple cider, with lots of active bubbles.
                    Score: 3/5



Taste: Rickard's white smelled of peach and seemed very fruity in aroma.
          The first taste defineltly had a taste of citrus, but was flat in the mouth
          with not much action from the carbonation.
          Score 3/5

Mouthfeel: Upon closer examination the beer was very light and dry. Had a slight
                 hint of an trailing aftertaste. It didnt have a bitter bite to it and the
                 bubbles were soft on the tongue.
                 Score 3/5

Beer Type: Witbier are meant to be Cloudy, pale, taste of orange and spice
                  flavors, with decent carbonation. I feel the carbonation was a little
                  lacking and didnt taste much of  spice and lacked some clear
                  orange flavor.
                  Score 3/5

Drinkability: The Dry finish of this beer makes it a good one for a pub. Something
                   to have to help add to the flavor of something spicy or salty. It isn't
                   the best for this style of beer, but its a good starter for the category.
                   Score 3/5

Scoring 15/25 Not the best beer in the world but not the worst for sure.
                       You could do a lot worse!

Style: Belgian white Beer (Witbier)


Appearance: Cloudy orange gold when poured into a
                    glass. Good amount of head and lots of
                    carbonation. Looks very tasty.
                    Score: 4/5

 Taste: This beer was a surprise to me. I have had white beers before and they
           weren't all that good. This one was off the charts. Semi sweet taste,
           with hints of citrus, mostly orange.
           Score 4/5

Mouthfeel: Champagne like bubbles make this beer super light. A small amount of
                 bitterness, smooth and has a very mellow taste.
                 Score 4/5

                  orange and spice flavors, with decent carbonation.
                  Score 4/5

Drinkability: For the large amount of flavor this beer is very drinkable. Easy to
                   drink enjoyable and refreshing. I found the 750ml bottle I
                   sampled was gone too fast.
                  Score 5/5

Scoring 21/25 This beer is worth the cost.Good to beer share and savor for
                       flavor.

Beer Review #6

Innis & Gunn Original
6.6% Alcohol/volume
Style: English Pale Ale


Appearance:Browned Honey in color. Clear and
                   forms a nice head when poured into
                   a glass. Seems very inviting and
                   mouthwatering.
                   Score 4/5

Taste:  Tastes sweet, slight caramel taste as well of hints of oak and spice.
           Reminds me of a honey brown beer.
           Score 4/5

Mouthfeel: Spicy, Cinnamon and nutmeg. The beer is lightly sweet with a
                 noticeably light higher alcohol taste. The higher alcohol is
                 hidden really well and maintains its nice smoothness. The beer
                 has a little extra weight to it with an almost buttery thickness.
                 Score 4/5

Beer Type:  This type of beer uses hard water which helps with the clarity as
                   well as enhancing the hop bitterness. This ale can be from golden
                   to reddish amber in color. A mix of fruity, hoppy, earthy, buttery
                   and malty aromas and flavors can be found. Innis and Gunn did
                   an amazing job with this beer. Improving on the style enough to
                   hide the expected extra bitterness.
                   Scoring 5/5

Drinkability: This is about the only part of the whole review that i have anything
                   bad to say. Due to its high flavor, and price (mid-high) Innis & Gunn
                   Original is not overly drinkable. 3-4 beer maximum.
                    Score 3/5

Scoring 20/25 This beer is worth the cost.Good to beer share and drink for flavor.
             

Beer Review #5

Bud Light
4% Alcohol/Volume
Anheuser-Busch
Style: Light Lager




Appearance: Bright Neon straw yellow in color.
                    Crystal Clear. Did not find the beer
                    super attractive in color.
                                                   Score 2/5

Taste: Mild beer taste, which is nothing unique or interesting middle
          of the road.
          Score 3/5

Mouthfeel: Mild beer taste, mild aftertaste. Nothing unique or
                 standoffish. Has a slight bitter sting with the aftertaste.
                 Score 3/5

Beer Style: Light Lagers are meant to have low flavor, be light clean 
                  and bubbly. That being said it fits the description very well.
                  Score 4/5

Drinkability: Ice cold 6 Pack with some BBQ on a hot day is definitely
                   what this beer was designed for. I guess thats why so many
                   of their commercials portray it as such. Its drank for easy
                   drinking not flavor
                   Score 4/5

Score: 16/25 Not the best beer in the world but not the worst for sure.
                  You could do a lot worse!

Beer Review #4

Alexander Keith India Pale Ale
 5%  Alcohol/ Volume
Labatt Breweries
Style: English India Pale Ale


Appearance: India Pale Ale indeed. Pale gold in color.
                    Clear yet plain, not overly pleasant but
                    not overly off putting either.
                    Score 3/5

Taste: Comes off pleasant, not bitter and takes a wait for a mild aftertaste.
          Has a slight oak taste.
          Score 3/5

Mouthfeel: Strong carbonation but not overpowering. Has mild bitterness a slight
                 aftertaste that is very acceptable
                 Score 4/5

Beer Style: This style of beer was brewed in england and sent to the troops in
                  India, hence India pale ale. Traditionally it was brewed to about
                  9% and then watered down to give to the troops. Generally
                  tasted of malt and hops. Alexander Keith IPA does a decent
                  job of it.
                  Score 3/5

Drinkability: Average beer  that could be enjoyed all year round. Winter or
                   summer. I think it would be a 5 Point beer if it was either
                   brewed to a stronger alcohol content or maybe slightly
                   watered down, like the soldiers got.
                  Score 4/5

Scoring 17/25 Slightly beer than average. It would be one i would try in larger
                      quantities, like at the lake or a sporting event.

Beer Review #3

Molson Canadian
5% Alcohol/Volume
Molson Breweries
Style: American Adjunct Lager


Appearance: When poured into a glass it had a good
                    amount of bubbling. It almost appears as
                    a brass color. Very clear. Oddly reminds
                    me of apple juice in look.
                   Score 3/5

Taste: The beer itself has very much the expected "beer" taste. The flavor wasn't
          very strong, but it did come with a bit of an unpleasant after taste.
          Score 2/5

Mouthfeel: Man is this one carbonated. Makes the beer super fizzy, almost like a
                 bottle of Coca-Cola.  The fizz almost burns the tongue. Really masks
                 the little flavor there was and brings out the bitterness.
                 Score 2/5


Beer Style: Plain as plain can be. The extra carbonation brings it down a couple
                  points.
                  Score 3/5

Drinkability: I find the bitterness and the super overdone carbonation makes
                   This a tough sell to me. Shot gun or on a hot day perhaps.
                   Score 2/5

Scoring:  12/25  Not the best beer in the world but not the worst for sure.
                        You could do a lot worse!

Beer Review #2

Lucky Lager
4% Alcohol/Volume
Brewed By Labatt Canada
Style : American Adjunct Lager



 Appearance: Burnt Yellow almost soft Golden color. Oddly
                     small amount of bubbles in the glass.
                                           Score 2/5

                       Taste: Slight flavor, almost seems slightly watered down.
                                 Had no after taste and was not bitter at all.
                                 Score 2/5

                        Mouthfeel :  All in all it is a very mild beer, with little to no
                                           Flavor at all. Soft and very light.
                                           Score 3/5

                        Beer Style: American Adjunct Lagers are meant to be light
                                          bodied, low on bitterness and small on flavor.
                                          Lucky Lager is pretty plain Jane. However
                                         the extra low carbonation cost it some points.
                                         Score 2/5

                         Drinkability: Watered down, goes down smooth and painless
                                           this beer could easily be a light beer. Personal
                                           opinion is it is meant to be drank for enjoyment
                                           not flavor. Cost helps drinkability as it is a low
                                           cost lager.
                                           Score 4/5


                       Scoring 13/25 Not the best beer in the world but not the worst
                                             for sure. You could do a lot worse!
