Scream for me Steemit!!!!
Scream for me Steemit!!! It's Beer Saturday!!
The whole scream for me thing is because it is a famous line shouted by the singer of Iron Maiden at the start of the Long Beach Arena gig on the famed and excellent Live After Death tour.
Anyway, now I have got all that shite out the way it's time to get on to the matter at hand. It's Saturday, I am fair up for getting trollied!!!
Oops, I mean - I am fairly in the mood for some civilised beer tasting. So let's go!
A beer by Iron Maiden. Well I have tried their other beer The Trooper and it is flipping fantastic so I am looking forward to this.
Look at the cool bottle top!
It looks great, a lot darker than I expected. No pun intended. In fact it's a right ruby amber, very pleasing. Fair old head on it too.
Down the hatch!!!
It's quite good, it is mild in taste despite the 6% strength. A little malty, a little sweet with a tang of citrus. It is perfectly acceptable but it's not giving me a stauner or anything.
7/10 booms
Now, let's have a look at this little cracker I stumbled upon! A raspberry Berliner weisse!!! How awesome does that sound!!
Oh, it's only 3.8% perhaps I should see if I can borrow one of the good lady's skirts for the sampling? Hmm, It might be as weak as piss but how does it taste? According to the blurb it has a million or so raspberries in it. Is it going to be more smoothie than beer?
It's very pink. A lot pinker than I expected. It has a whimsical little head which rapidly bubbles to nothing.
It smells like raspberry sherbet. That really cheap raspberry smell. Like fake raspberries. Oh dear. Oh well. In I go!
Cor! It makes my cheeks stick to one another. It's so tart and fake sweet. It doesn't even taste of beer. It tastes of pony rides and candy floss. I had better close up the bottle and give it to the little lady in the morning such is the childish nature of the thing.
I will give it 4/10 booms, it gets 4 because unlike other things that are wet it didn't try to kill me.
Well, there we have it. Another fine week beer tasting. One poor and the other alright. My streak of fine beers has been broken. Fortunately I have a pile of good stuff in the fridge. I'm off to get stuck into them!
Cheers everyone! Enjoy your weekend!
