Beer #42 - Sapporo Premium Beer

Style: Japanese Rice Lager
Purchased at: Sakura Japanese Steakhouse & World Market
What makes this beer different: Japanese
Will I be drinking this again: Yup
Grade: C+


Comments:
This brew is a carbonated, frothy, medium bodied lager with a dry finish and possesses hints of bitter hops  Beer pours egg yolk yellow with a creamy white head; sweet malts and soft grains lie in the undertones of this subtle smelling lager. Unfortunately nothing really sets this beer apart from the crowd, other than it being a Japanese Lager. Don't get me wrong, it is very good and quite drinkable! It just isn't a game changer for me, which is why my score isn't higher. Go out and give this one a try, it is definitely worth it ... ESPECIALLY for my light beer lovers out there!


Recommendations:
Pair with Shrimp Tempura and Edamame Soy Beans is perfect!

Beer #43 - Lagunitas Brown Shugga' Ale

Style: American Strong Ale Purchased at: - What makes this beer different: Overwhelming spices Will I be drinking this again: No Grade: F Comments: Kind of disappointed with this beer as I had high expectations.   Too many different tastes going on inside this bottle. I would have to disagree with the choice of finishing hop used in this beer - best described as a hard pine taste. I'm going to go ahead and give it a NO GO recommendation. What does that mean? Some beers just aren't my style or taste of beer but this brew is just a BAD mixture and I cannot recommend it to anyone regardless of taste. Recommendations: 1) Don't drink this beer.

Beer #30 - Yards Extra Special Ale (ESA)

Style: Extra Special/Strong Bitter (ESB) Purchased at: Vintage Cellar What makes this beer different: Malty Will I be drinking this again: Possibly Grade: C Comments: This is one of the better strong ales I have had before; unfortunately that doesn't say much. Pours a cola brown, and actually looks quite appealing in a glass. This brew possesses malty and fruity elements, but just not enough of them. Kind of leaves a dry taste in your mouth, and hardly any depth to this brew. Worth a try if you are new to Strong Ales. A typical old world crafted, American Ale. Would prefer this brew more if it possessed a little more gumption however, and quite a bit more depth. Recommendations: A great mix with a Nathan's Hotdog, Sauerkraut, Ketchup, Onions, and Mustard (add some relish to go the whole way)!
