Yeah Right!

Budweiser

Like Heineken but worse!

This is good when you are really hot and thirsty and it is icy cold. 

Quite sweet and bland. No discernible hops and not particularly malty. You find yourself asking why did I bother. 

 

Good Island IPA

Goose Island Brewery

5.6%

Aroma 7/10 mild pear and lime

Mouthfeel 7/10

Taste 7/10 

A refreshing IPA. This has all the right characters but not in big doses making it a really refreshng beer. The pear and like are very subtle  in the aroma and the taste is a start of pleasant bitterness with the flavour. The hops then comes in through gently. A good session beer.

Earl of sandwich downtown Disney

Pretty average wheat beer. Trying to be more than it is. Buy another one? Nah!
