ADopted ADmiral Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) This is a thread about beer/Wine tasting! Tell what beer/wine you are tasting right now. Tell about how it tastes, not how it makes you feel. I am having a Franzishaner Weissbier. It has a citrus tan orange look with a citrus taste. Not what I would expect from a German Beer. Has a huge head on it when poured into a glass. It has a really good taste to it, on the light side. Not something I would drink as a favorite, but at the same time, I do not dislike it.

ADopted ADmiral Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Bell's - Two Hearted Ale What kind of taste are you tasting from it? I have never had that one. What color is it? Edited February 15, 2010 by Birdsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Charms Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) What kind of taste are you tasting from it?I have never had that one...What color is it? Golden. Not too many places carry it, at lest to my knowledge. The only 2 places that I know of in NKY is the Wine and Spirits store in South Covington at the bottom of Hands Pike and 3L Highway and the liquor store in Crescent Springs off of Buttermilk Rd next to Sunono gas station. Brewed in Kalamazoo, MI. http://www.bellsbeer.com The Third Coast Beer is also very good to. Reminds me a lot of Harps.

Sounds like some good stuff. If I can't get it in Lexington, I am heading your way to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoldguy Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Sam Adams Winter Lager: The first thing one notices in a Samuel Adams® Winter Lager is its color: the deep brown of winter. Then comes the magical aroma which promises something special on the tongue. The warm aroma of cinnamon and ginger which blends with the roasty sweetness of the malted barley and hint of citrus from the orange peel. And after that first sip the promise is fulfilled. On the palate Samuel Adams® Winter Lager is rich and full bodied, robust and warming, a wonderful way to enjoy the cold evenings that come with this season. Brought home a six pack and it was gone before the night was over. Couldn't believe I had drank all six of them, but them "The Boss" admitted that she drank two of them and she liked it so much, she drove to the store to buy another six pack the next day. Now I don't know if it would be a beer I would drink all the time, but it really hit the spot the other weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the Octoberfest or even the Summer Ale though. They are all seasonals and all are pretty tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've become a fan of wheat beers. The wife picked me up a six pack of Shock Top the other day that was actually pretty good. It's an unfiltered Belgian style beer with a hint of citrus. I had a Shiner Blonde at a friend's place this weekend. I love the Shiner Bock, so I figured I'd give it a try. It wasn't bad at all. Now I'm getting thirsty. :irked: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
