I'm just not a fan of summer ales overall. I feel most have too much lemon in them. Shame because I feel I'm cut off from a seasonal beer.bigdaddy2003;920466 wrote:I had to put you on the spot.

I was checking out their site and there are a bunch I would like to try.
I've got no problem being called out and it was nice of you to call me an "experienced beer drinker" instead of a drunk...lolbigdaddy2003;920466 wrote:I had to put you on the spot.

lol no I wouldnt do that when discussing beers. Lot of my friends love the Summer Shandy, I think it tastes like a super sugary lemonade. Its right up there with the Wild Blue Blueberry beer as one of my least favorite beers I've ever had. Beers with lemon and me just don't get along.Curly J;920543 wrote: Two more of their beers that stand out to me are the Black Lager and Winter Lager.

Much like CoA, I'm not a fan of Summer Ales either in general. However for some weird reason I do like the Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy. The excess of lemon makes it for me. Of course a Shandy is supposed to have that excess citrus flavor as by tradition it's usually 50/50 beer and the mixed beverage of choice.

Rarely do I get a six to try, been getting singles at Anderson and Bassetts. I have had worse than Wild Berry, Lion Lager from SriLanka comes to mind.Commander of Awesome;920749 wrote:Ahh I see. Suprised by your Wild Blue ranking. I got a 6 pack to try it and couldnt even finish one. I'd rather drink a warm skunked Beast Ice/Natty Light/Keystone and wash it down with a hot maddog 20/20 than that ever again.
There's a pretty awesome site about these.justincredible;920766 wrote:Mad Dog is the best of the bum wines.

You mean available right now?sherm03;920858 wrote:Just saw a commercial for Guiness Black Lager that is available on the 14th.
I'm going to have to pick up a sixer to give that a shot.
Go in with the realization that it is a macro type lager (Bud, Miller, etc) and you should be pleased. If you go in trying to compare it to micro brews you'll be disappointed.BORIStheCrusher;920875 wrote:Will have to try it out to see what all the hype is about.
Had one over the weekend. It tasted like a light beer and nothing like a guiness. It was decent for what it was. Probably wouldn't buy a 6 pack.sherm03;920858 wrote:Just saw a commercial for Guiness Black Lager that is available on the 14th.

The commercial said available October 14th. Maybe I'll have to head over to the store tomorrow and see if they have it.I Wear Pants;920885 wrote:You mean available right now?
Tasted like a light beer? I mean, I figured it wouldn't taste too much like a Guinness since this is a lager and Guinness is a stout. But I was hoping it would have more flavor than just a light beer.Commander of Awesome;920952 wrote:Had one over the weekend. It tasted like a light beer and nothing like a guiness.
