Probably not new to most of you all, but I have been primarily a BMC drinker for many years. Just started homebrewing, so I plan on putting that behind me.
Anyway I tried my first New Belgium Sunshine Wheat Beer. I was pleasantly surprised. It had a definite citrus taste which I do not believe is common with wheat beer. This would be a real thirst quencer in the heat... rating on a scale from 1 to 10, i rate it an 8 or 9.
Second, I tried a Sierra Nevada Stout. i am not as much of a stout fan as some others, but it was too bad. a little bitter, but that was to be expected. my biggest concern about stout/big beers is they weigh heavy on my stomach after more than a few. Real nice head and retention on this beer however. rating on this beer (at least for me) about a 6 or 7. i understand some of you will disagree with me on this.
And actually now that I am posting, I tried a New Castle Brown Ale the other night, which I thought was delicious. I have had one before but it was a few years ago and I had already been drinking Miller all night. rating on this beer about a 7 or 8.
really just interested on some of you guys comments regarding these 2 beers, errr, 3 beers....
since i started to home brew and see all my options out there, i have taken a new interest in trying some different beers.
please let me hear your comments...
thanks
