Kirin Ichiban...

I don't know too much about this one. Honestly, I picked because I liked the label. The history on the bottle speaks of a mythical creature, half deer, half dragon... It was in the cooler, available in a single which was 22oz. So, I bought it, took it home and opened it in hopes that I would be magically whisked away to the far east to romp through the lotus gardens with a retarded deer dragon.

Boy, was I let down! I guess I was just deceived by the promise made by label artist and the fantastic tale written therein.
It's billed as a "first press" malt... But me thinks this is just said to sell beer. I've enjoyed a lot of beers from the far east, but this isn't one of them.
It tastes like Budweiser pure and simple. And, upon closer inspection of the label it reads: Brewed under the strict supervision by the brewmaster of Anheuser-Busch, Los Angeles, California $hit, I coulda just bought a Bud and saved the extra 59 cents!

I second that motion.

As I have previously stated...the Germans define the word (BIER) and the world just makes a bad copy of it...(BEER).... Even the translation of the word is wrong.

However, a Corona on a hot beach is not bad either.

I agree that the Germans make some fine "Bier"... But they didn't corner the market on it. The oldest known beer recipe was discovered When Archaeologists found a 4,000-year-old Mesopotamian clay tablet in Iraq. There are also ancient Chinese writings that tell how to brew beer. Most likely, through trade and what not, these recipes made their way around the globe. Folks like the Germans, Belgians, Irish and English all took the basic recipes and made them their own by adding or subtracting and experimenting until they had a brew that was distinct. American beers are the remnants of beer recipes that immigrants brought to the "New World".

I'm NOT trying to argue... I have my favorites and my dislikes. That's the beautiful thing about beer... There's something for everyone.

Moz, could you give us a little insight on your favorite German Brews?

very well put. that kinda sums up beer, wouldn't ya say?

**jgano23** · 11-03-2008, 12:47 PM

when you drink a shit beer it makes you appreciate the good beers.

MOz · 11-03-2008, 01:14 PM

A few years ago, I was on extended business in the black forrest region and then went onto Bavaria for a couple of months. I drank their locally made beer every chance I had. I tried just about anything they made. Each little town has it's own brewery and hardly any of them export. Heffe Weissen was one of my favorites.

Don't get me wrong, I like Guiness, it's better than Bud.

The ONLY beer I've had from a clear bottle that wasn't skunky! Not as light as Corona but lighter than Dos Equis. Like Pacifico it has lots of carbonation and a thin head. A bit citrusy but not as hoppy as I'd like to taste. But good over all. Beats the $shit outta Coors and Bud IMO.

That's about all for now... But stay tuned for more!

My favorite. To me it's a little like Corona but without the need for lime.

Yup... Like I said... Clear bottle-no skunk! How do they do it? I just wish I could find it in a case and not just a 6 pack.

First it was not having any mods, then Scout brings up the Friends on the forum thing, and now I am a wuss because I like Corona and Landshark. You guys really know how to make a guy feel low.....

BTW, corona ice cold from the cooler on a hot NC beach with a steady onshore breeze....who he hell cares about a lime

I'm with ya tarheel! Except for the hot NC night thing.............and the on shore breeze thing............................and I prefer the lightly salted lime.

**jgano23** · 11-03-2008, 04:18 PM

It's about $7 for a six pack here in Cali...

**h8nagn** · 11-03-2008, 08:10 PM

I drink many different types of beer, prefer stouts and porters but will drink lagers and on occasion a wheat beer.

I picked up a "variety" pack of Tommyknockers yesterday and only made it thru about 4 of them. Very bitter beers, all 4 types. Beer of choice is something I cannot get here in Maryland called Moose Drool.

CORONA- not much I can say except no beer should be in a clear bottle (even green bottles for that matter). Beers are bottled in dark glass to keep out the UV rays, which actually "spoils" the beer. So if the bottle isn't brown then don't pass it my way.

**jgano23** · 11-04-2008, 04:31 PM

ok, so i picked up a 6 pack of the land shark stuff last night and my friend picked up a 6 pack of "smutty house pumpkin ale". the land shark beer is by far the best beer i've ever had. its my new fav. the pumpkin ale however, was by far the worst beer in the entire universe. i have never tasted a rotting corpse anus before, but if i had to envision what that would taste like, pumpkin ale would be it.

activelydying · 11-04-2008, 04:38 PM

Iron City anyone????

**stevens243** · 11-04-2008, 05:39 PM

"rotting corpse anus" is my favorite band AND my favorite Thursday night white plate special down at the ol' diner.

QUIT HATIN'!!
