If anyone is looking for a good laugh...here you go

So I was bored and decided to see what youtube had for beer reviews. Well, this was my first time I had done this and was I pleasantly suprised at the comedians that have filmed themselves drinking beer and trying to explain them . I somehow don't think they are being funny, but may I was rolling.

Anyways, here is a great example of what I am talking about.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zZjxbBos_k]YouTube - Opitimator Spaten Munich Beer review[/ame]

Better yet, he is wearing a coors light hat.


Some good quotes from this one:

"This has some great roasted hops"

"if this bottle was refridgerated for 600 years it would probably be pretty nasty."

"wow! that smells dark"

 

[llazy_llama]

Yeah, when it became apparent that he neither knew what hops were, nor what they might taste like, I gave up.

Seriously, the Coors Light hat was strike 1, the quote "Wow! That smells really dark!" was strike two. The roasted hops was strike 3, and he is OUTTA THERE!

 

[StoutFan]

Wow, what a tool......

 

[humann_brewing]

Yeah, youtube is full of these, I was amazed.

even the title is all fubared up:

Opitimator Spaten Munich Beer review

Ok, let's see

Optimator = name of beer
Spaten = people who make said beer
Munich = Place where it is made

I would not have picked "Optimator Spaten Munich beer review"

 

[Jared311]

"3.75 out of 5"

Yup that definitely made me laugh. Too bad he didn't describe his extremely technical system for rating beer.

 

[BrewinDuluth]

Dopel bock?

 

[Malticulous]

As a obvious BMCer I give him a hand for trying it, as reviewer I give him a zero. Worthless and not funny video, I got to feel sorry for the idiot.

 

[mr_goodwrench]

SWMBO said 'since when do you roast hops?!' and she knows precious little about beer...

My favorite part: 'You can't even see that I'm flippn' you the bird there.'

Priceless!!

 

[GunnerMan]

Lmao, "Yep it is definatly better out of the bottle, you dont get as sharp of an aftertaste."

 

[KUbrew]

wow, that is 8 minutes and 53 seconds of my life that I'm never going to get back.

 

[carnevoodoo]

I like the taste test from the bottle. That's scientific.

 

[llazy_llama]

Is this the same guy that reviewed a Centennial Blonde as a "Sentinel Blonde?"

I can't find the original video I'm talking about. Surely someone here knows what I'm talking about, and has more Youtube skill than I.

 

[Greyhound]

I get the impression the beer is dark.

Dark.

Dark, dark, dark, dark.

Really dark.

 

[hamiltont]

Ummmm. I guess with the crappy aftertaste he left in the back of my throat, oh wait that was barf, I suppose maybe I'll give him a .75 out of 10. That's only because it was a little entertaining??? GEEEEEEZ!

 

[humann_brewing]

"and I'm not trying to get too technical I just describing the flavors the best I can"

 

[annasdadhockey]

I'm not sure if that can be fixed?????
Dumb Ass

 

[dontman]

I liked the "it says its bottom-fermented. That means its a doppelbock. I have no idea what that means . . ."

 

[GuitarBob]

Are there any good beer reviews on youtube or are they all pretty much like this one?

Wondering if need to do a little public service for the beer drinkers who watch youtube.

 

[HSM]

I hope no one finds you doing something stupid on the internet. Hey, they guy likes talking to himself and drinking beer, what's so wrong about that?

 

[PseudoChef]

Wow, you guys are so cool that you can bash someone who isn't as cool as you and your beer snobbery.

 

[GuitarBob]

Wow, you guys are so cool that you can bash someone who isn't as cool as you and your beer snobbery.

Pretty much. You should try it too.

 

[HSM]

Pretty much. You should try it too.

I agree with PseudoChef, you are a ********* (he didn't say that, I did). I guess it's fun to make fun of a "beer reviewer"... on a site full of master brewers.

The dude's review has flaws, to be sure. It certainly hasn't deserved the wall of hate brought down by this forum of master brewers.

This is the forum of master brewers isn't it... no noobs here right?

Well then.. hate on!

 

[Malticulous]

He is an idiot. In 10 seconds and he could have googled up the info he didn't know and could have sounded like he had a clue. It's not like he doesn't own a computer. He must like looking stupid. I'm only sad I gave him a one view.

 

[GuitarBob]

I agree with PseudoChef, you are a ********* (he didn't say that, I did).

See, now wasn't that fun?

 

[GunnerMan]

I do stupid things on the internet all the time, thats what the internet is good for...

but seriously...how can you not poke fun at somethig like that. I mean he just presents himself to it in so many ways from the coors light hat, to the roasted hops, to the "wine bottle beer." My buds make fun of me because I know a thing or two about beer. If I were to meet this guy in real life I would love to toss a few back with him, show him what beer is made of, and talk about his sweet set of weaponry on the wall(that should be in a safe.)

He does sound like he is trying to make a decent review but im sorry when I hear someone say something stupid, I am going to laugh...and people will laugh at me when I am stupid. The walk of life.

Sorry, but here's why you are wrong:

1) We all have done stupid things in our time. The difference is, when I did stupid things in my youth, I didn't record these things and present them as intelligent reviews. When I did stupid things, I knew said things were stupid (such as lighting a lake on fire, back when people in my town dumped their used oil in the lake) and I didn't try to pass my mistakes off as informed reviews.

2) Whatever stupid things I did, I did purely in the name of stupidity. I never attempted to present myself as a professional, nor would I have encouraged such behavior in others.

3) When/If I did such things, I would have at least checked to see if there was a database of information that rendered my observations obsolete.

4) I would lrn2google. Say for example, I decided that I had stumbled upon the next great thing, craft beer. I would at least go to Google and search for sites that already existed, seeing if they had superior reviews of this "OMG DARK DARK DARK!" beer.

Normally i would agree. You won't learn about beer if you don't drink and educate yourself on the different styles. I mean we all were (or still are) beginners once.

That being said there is no excuse for "It tastes like a roasted hop, like a burnt hop."

 

[blakey971]

A BMC drinker trying a nice beer is not something to be scorned.....

If only the rest of that crowd could be so brave.....

+1 GuitatBob!!! "Hate" is a pretty strong word. Honestly, I really didn't feel any hatered at all when I watched the video. We're just bashing something worthy of a good bashing, IMHO!:rockin:

 

[Chupacabras]

If you're gonna speak about something with authority, as this idiot is attempting to do, you have to at least learn a couple things about the subject. Like the process of making beer, ingredient processing, any characteristic other than colour. I try not to be a beer snob but that hick doesn't have a ****ing clue and deserves all the flak he gets. BTW I saw him review Chimay Bleu a few months ago and **** myself. His site is mostly a guns and ammo redneck type thing, so I'm not surprised at his ignorance.
