Natural Ice Beer Review

Natural Ice: Appearance Standard fizzy yellow beer complexion. Perhaps a dark gold hue. Carbonation dies down quickly. Forms a small, bright white, soapy head which fizzles away quickly and leaves no lacing. Natural Ice: Smell Surprisingly mild for the type.

Weihenstephaner Original Premium Beer Review

I’m never afraid to declare that the emperor has no clothes in the world of beer. No brewery, style, or individual beer gets a free pass with me including the world’s oldest brewery – Weihenstephaner.

Finch’s Hardcore Chimera: Appearance Bright glowing orange hue over an extremely hazy body. Pours to a large, white, frothy head which retains and laces fairly well.

Foster’s Lager Beer Review

Foster’s Lager: Appearance Glowing hue of yellow/gold with plenty of spastic carbonation viewable. Pours to a large, white, soapy head which mostly dissipates and leaves little lacing on the glass. Foster’s Lager: Smell Not just a generic fizzy yellow beer smell, but a dirty one at that. Strong corn aroma and nothing else. Foster’s Lager: … Read more
