@Miraculix - I think PBR is much better in long neck bottles. Guessing you had a can.

Not sure you love PBR this much - but omg, they have timberland brand PBR boots. Like the opener.

[Miraculix]

I am closing the tasting session with a

WilderNess Hoppy Amber Ale​

which my girlfriend brought me from Schotland. Just to remind myself how much flavour a beer can have.

It is nice.

 

[fluketamer]

they come in waterproof blue also - OMG

i like the opener too willy.

What the....... you are kidding, right?

Update, having a Coors now, much better than the PBR. It has a really defined "graininess" that I would get from a very well done German lager when 70% of the hops would be removed and the beer would be watered down. Sounds horrible, but I actually like it.

Still, PBR is also nice.

Edit: I am missing the hint of banana I have had from the UK Coors light. Maybe it is brewed a bit differently in the UK? this one is a US import.

Just to show you - thats not their light beer

I buy Genesee light for $19/30 pack. Yeah I could brew something similar, but I like have HB stouts, milds, IPA, and Saison on tap.

Genesee. the boat beer so my land legs are around after being in some waves.

jenny screamers (genesee cream ale)

that and balantines and one other which i dont remember was considered high end for us in high school in the 80's.

 

[worlddivides]

Has Yuengling really changed that much? The last time I had it was over a decade ago, but I remember it being better than PBR (which I preferred to Coors or Bud, but not by a lot). After all, they all fall into the categories of American lager and American light lager, which are just generically low on flavor (obviously the light lagers being much lower in flavor).

I see you are from Bremen - do they still make St. Pauli? We used to get it but have not seen it in decades. Liked it a lot. "Enjoy a nice cold girl" was a great tag line - spoke to me as a teenager. Ha.

Hmm, back when I was in college, a fellow offered me a St Pauli Girl and quoted; “You’ll always remember your first Girl!” And, I guess he was right.

Ok Fellow beer enthusiasts, it is 08:20 pm, the missus had her birthday dinner and now the quest continues.

Next in line: Moosehead Pale Ale

This one is a good beer. It is nothing fancy, just very nicely executed and very clean brewing. If you would tell me this is a lager, I would believe you. One of the cleanest ales I have ever had, cleaner than most of my warm fermented lagers. It has enough malt to be recognised as a beer, anough hops to balance the malt and that is basically it. I have never had a commercial cream ale, but this is how I am imaganing a good cream ale, based on the descriptions I have read.

Miller Lite:

they dare to write "Pilsner" on top of the can.... ok.... If I ignore this bold statement, I can really enjoy this beer. It is clean and nice. I like it.

But this is NOT a Pilsner.

2 row and a ton of corn just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Moosehead light lager:

Ok. It is the darkest of the light beers I have had so far and it has also the most taste. It has a tiny bit more taste than coors light, but I still prefer Coors because Coors has this specific raw grainyness in it that I really like. On my light beer ranking Moosehead light shares the second palce with miller light.

 

[Snuffy]

In situations with limited choice, I could drink any of those beers if the alternative was no beer. Good and cold and preferably in bottles instead of cans. But I would never willingly put PBR, Miller Lite or Bud Light on the counter and fork over my hard earned funds for it. When the wife used to drink, I would buy Coors Light for her and always ended up drinking some - mostly as "Lawn mower beer". It was ok. A nice cold Yuengling in the bottle is good beer to me. Moosehead is what I call "green beer" in that it has that Heineken, Becks, Grolsch kind of Pils wang to it - which I like.

While you're American beer slumming, you should try the Beast (Milwaukee's Best), Natural Light and Busch. Again, super cold and from a bottle, if possible.

If I were to try what Germans would consider cheap, bland beer I bet I would like most of it just cause it's unusual. I think familiarity definitely breeds contempt where cheap mass produced local beer is concerned.

Karma is kicking my butt today. After the previous post, I attended a graduation party for my wife’s grand neice. They served excellent bbq pork and for beer they had… Miller Lite. <sigh> Pulled it from the ice and thought, “Fate, you evil ******”. Each sip more disappointing than the last. Fell back and resorted to iced tea after that.

Yep I honestly would rather drink a sparking water, it tastes better to me and has way less calories.

I've had the Moosehead lager yesterday. It's not as good as the ale, had a weird aftertaste. Maybe it was just an old can. It basically tastes like their light beer, just a hint more flavour plus the weird aftertaste as an unwanted extra. I prefer their light. Their ale was a really good beer, this was probably the best beer from the whole bunch that I've tried for now.

I start to understand why the world is looking on the German lagers like they are doing.

 

[Miraculix]

And yesterday evening, the last of them murican cans. Bud light.

It's a nice and refreshing beer. Ice cold and it's just nice. Same as Coors and PBR. I would buy and enjoy each of these.

I'm not expecting a German lager or any strong hop bomb craft beer, I'm expecting something clean with low bitterness and that's what I'm getting. Nothing fancy but that makes it so enjoyable.

So, to sum it up, Coors won first place, pbr and bud light follow on the second place and miller light is pretty close as well.

This was fun. If they would be sold in Germany for the same price as the local beer, I would drink any of them more often.

Coors light started becoming available in australia in the last few years. The canned stuff, i think is pretty good summer beer.
