Linsey Dawn Mckenzie - Rise And Shine

Courage Directors - Wells & Youngs - England

Courage Directors was once a beer brewed specifically for the brewery's board Courage - so it seems reasonable to assume that it was better than the brewery produced beers for sale. In addition, the name was Courage Directors Bitter, and the remnants of the party whose management was not able to drink were sold on the local market under the name of Alton IPA. So it seems reasonable to also assume that it was properly nachmielonym, bitter ejlem. Meanwhile, Courage Directors currently is neither a good nor a bitter beer. The explanation for this state of affairs may be that the acquisition of the brand Courage Directors in 2007 by Wells & Youngs. Perhaps then changed the recipe of this beer, which is obviously presumed to be very polite. As an importer of Polish accent humorous sticker affixed to the composition in Polish, which bears on the assertion that the Courage Directors' beer made from hops. " Waiting for my chicken soup restaurant laudatory words "soup obtained from the salt."

Brown, engraved with an elegant bottle label contains the artificially colored with caramel (E150C), amber beer with fine foam which is not very abundant but it lasts until the end of drinking on a raft. The smell, except a slight aroma of grain and toffee is basically a very fruity. Dark grapes are mixed with raisins and make the smell is pretty much guilty, but not entirely pleasant. Profile ester is the sweet, heavy and oppressive, as in the case of the French brewery ejli Pelforth. Taste in contrast to this is for a soft, low intensity and far from any burden. The dominant feature is still raisin fruitiness winogronowo-which after all is not especially strong in itself - because the beer is very rich and very watery. Estrowość takes the best accompaniment to a light toffee, very faint echoes of diluted coffee, and far too weak nachmielenia. Grassy-Peanut feel glimmers of hops in the aroma, and bitterness will not find - it is essentially absent. Shortage of hops combined with very exciting, watery taste of fruit and malt beer makes Courage Directors is a product without a word. It is true that I have a choice as it will usually ejla expressionless expressionless than lager, but this beer Courage Directors disappointing considering its origin, history and price. It is not, in principle, neither bitter nor sweet, and the lack of taste is leading that while drinking in the throat in fact nothing happens, not very intense aroma of beer is fact able to reach only the mid-rear lot of language, for which only feel the emptiness. Apparently quite pleasant to drink the beer, but does not change the final verdict - namely, it is boring and bland.

Nickon Prostaff V Bushnell Legend

Schremser Roggen Bio-Bier - Schrems - Austria

first mention of Schrems brewery dates from the Battle of Grunwald, so this is a brewery with over 600 - year tradition. Purchased in 1838 by a man named Jakob Trojan since that time the family is in possession of Schrems. As the history of the brewery however, smoothly adapts to the current fashion, as evidenced by the Bio-Schremser Roggen Bier. These beer rye until recently was sold as Schremser Roggen Bier, but as that in Austria and Germany currently has a stampede for the prefix "bio" in foods, and so the Schrems brewery was renamed the beer, providing the occasion for the composition of beer kontretykiecie is purely aryj ... I mean bio-, eco-and in general. Tailored to the pro-ecological imydżu green bottle is also open ended, odkręcanym cap and green label, as ugly as the vast majority of deputies of the German Green Party.

first rye beer described on the blog is cloudy, pale amber-colored tone, and rather small foam which boasts impressive durability. Odor to the front protrudes a mixture of grain malt and banana. Natti Light smoke, some apples and a large przyprawowość complement the whole. The result is that if the first impression is what causes odor association with Hefeweizen, so after a short time the smell a little more than a wheat beer starts to resemble a Belgian pejl ejla - globally is located somewhere between these two styles of beer, with an indication of the latter. With considerable saturation should be noted an interesting, original combination of flavors. Partially feel like malt and bananas in turbid wheat, but the fluid paving the way to the throat is definitely dry, pushing them hard, bitter herb and spices, unusual even for conditions such as Austria. In the medium-thick consistency taste is sharp and decisive, there is no question of softness and velvet hefeweizenów. A mixture of fruit flavors (banana), spicy and bitter is quite original, but for taste is my taste, however, as this type of flavor a bit too sharp and bitter. However, this is an interesting beer worth trying.

How To Remoisten A Dry Blunt

Schwarzer Abt - Klosterbrauerei Neuzelle - Germany

Driven by the desire to end a slight though seasoned schwarzbierem odkapslowałem Black Abbot of Brandenburg and met my sweet disappointment. Zdeczka is frivolous or spoofing by a secular brewery at the monastery brewery. Although the monastery in Neuzellu in eastern Germany had a brewery since 1589, but has been secularized in 1817. In addition, the same brewery burned down in 1892 and was rebuilt only 10 years later. Obviously touched it after the Second World War the nationalization - to put the matter in so few words, this is no monastery brewery. What's not to say that such a beer from the brewery must be bad. Unfortunately, however, the brewery in Neuzellu specializes in dark beers adulterated. Since this is at odds with the German purity law, Klosterbrauerei Neuzelle procesował to bite 10 years with the government of Brandenburg for the right to label their products as beer. I won, but I do not know by what argument. The result is that the label Schwarzer ABTA reads "Schwarzbier", composed and is listed separately schwarzbier and invert sugar syrup. And here is the dog buried - because I wanted to enjoy a classic, a kind of dry schwarzbiera Meissner Schwerter St. Afra Dunkel, and it turned out that Schwarzer Abt is Magnuso-like syrup.

that indeed I could have expected from the composition (albeit with a competitive schwarzbier Sorbian Landskronu is very good and the sweetness is just right) and the slogan on the label "paradiesisch lieblich "or blissfully sweet. Well. Smell is roasted beans, coffee and light earthiness and a bit of caramel in the background. At the level of odor does not feel especially sweets wave which shall be to the taste. Yes, the smell is a burnt-malt, too delicate and too little meaty, but not sweet. For it may interfere with the light metallicity. Beer is actually almost black, slightly translucent on the sides of the light, foam and rather small and as durable. The taste is sweet but ruined. Sugar syrup is added with no sense of the diabetics in the great famine. On average, beer-saturated without the sweetness But it would be correct, and so just as that little intense aroma of burnt-malt taste gives Magnus. The level of sweetness in the two beers is for a comparable, because of what these hard-drinking beer. Small brevity aroma Schwarzer Abcie surprising addition considering that it is very shallow attenuated - at 12 ° because the extract is barely 3.9% alcohol, and still is, in principle, watery-sweet. Whatever, a very rudimentary feel bitter after parunastu łykach, so the brewery's flagship product, Brandenburg, in principle, there is no clear sides. Schwarzer Abt is a big disappointment as schwarzbiera. Watery syrup is not a good idea for a beer.

Laws Against Smoking Marijuana

Kelt - Hurbanovo - Slovakia Innis & Gunn

continued crackdown on some nice memories. The Rape of nostalgia is a painful thing, but it's hard. Kelta drunk in large quantities during okołosylwestrowym a good couple of years ago. But then he still had 12 ° of the extract and was poured into bottles of decent krachlą. Currently krachli absence of extract is 10 degrees and up to 4.2% alcohol and only cool Kelta label refers to the past years. The very name it's exotic as the Slovak beer. Although genetically Celtic origin in Europe is mainly people of Great Britain, Ireland and the Iberian peninsula (Iberoceltowie), the Celtic tribes long ago settled in most parts of Europe, in this and in what is now Slovakia, and even the Greeks occasionally have to deal with them militarily. An interesting story of the Celts, however, does not have any gear on boring beer as he has recently Kelt.

colored beer presents urologic bile, and on top of foam, although rather fine-grained, wears off quickly. Weak, weak smell of grain dominates the smell. But they broke Chemieken beer. Sweet-sour smell of malt grain, however, has also hop companion. Except that occurs in the beer soap leśność unfortunately is not very pleasant, but fairly typical for the Slovak koncerniaków. Saturation is big, the taste of the delicate and soft, but not devoid of values. Profile is a malty beer, but the fullness of his absence. Some light trawiastość in taste, although scrolls but in contrast with the bitterness of poor standards Keltowi very pilznerowych far. On the other hand, beer is drunk in order. Absolutely nothing repels, is just slightly aromatic, but it is better in this respect falls on the current views Smadnego Monk. Oh wait ... after a slight warming came out on top but a little sauerkraut. Again, a beer from the DMS-I, fortunately for Kelta is more hidden, do not mind so much, and therefore as the summer orzeźwiacz Kelt satisfy its function. Unfortunately, nothing more.

Oak Aged Beer - Innis & Gunn - Scotland

child case often turns out to be a real gem. When in 2002 a Scottish company producing world-famous whiskey, William Grant & Sons, decided to produce a taste of Scottish ejla, nobody probably would not expect that it will end in the creation of a fantastic beer. First, typically brewed malt Scottish ejla which przeleżakowano in wooden barrels for the month, so the wood przesiąkło aroma of beer. Then the barrels were emptied to make room for the distillate. And at that moment the history of this beer probably would have ended if Dougal Sharp, founder of use only to those useful for flavoring barrels Scottish ejla, did not get the phone informing him that the employees of Grant's to come (probably the human nose) to the conclusion that there is feedback, which means that the same beer also was changed by aging in barrels. And the result is delicious. It was the beginning of an extraordinary beer Innis & Gunn, which is first brewed for 7 days, then aged in wooden barrels of American oak for 30 days, after which matures 47 days beyond the barrel to fully harmonize the flavor was.

Result brewing and aging process has a honey-gold color and is packaged in transparent bottles engraved with an elegant label and signed by master brewer and kontrolerki quality. Foam is a small, very abundant, although leaky raft which is the end of drinking. But this is not the foam is the most important thing here, and the incredible aroma. The smell is bread, butter, malt ... timber! Unusual, but by a combination of strong malt and oak beer smells very characteristically like a good Scotch whiskey. Under the wood-whiskaczową blanket But there is also some toffee soothing experience, masełka which in the normal case, it would be a disadvantage, and here it blends well together, and looking deeper layers can reach the fruit. The smell is so complex, highly original and extremely enjoyable.

I was afraid that the taste and odor of beer does not match, but luckily I was wrong completely. Beer is the very full, there is no mention of wodnistości. Lots of wood and malt are mixed with a light toffee, slightly fruity and buttery, which Cities are a bother, just adds a whole charm. Beer tastes like good whiskey removed from what is best and mix with a very good, gentle Scottish ejlem. Light słodkawość is compensated here by the dryness in the finish, coming not from the hops, which here is very little, but from the alcohol. 6.6% feel those little light tartness, but never in the form of coarse ethanol. In comparison with Scotland and a similar taste of beer so the finish is in fact the most on the spot. The combination of sharper flavors of soft Scottish whiskey ejla came out phenomenally. As a result, overall flavor is soft and yet intense. Beer is a unique and classy, \u200b\u200bI'm very impressed.
