Beer Review

Remember these?

Beer with buses and dogs on the label...awesome fun packaging catches the eye!

Our local beer store had both in stock, so we gave them a try.

Fresh Slice White IPA - Neither one of us noticed the small print on the label which states that this beer is "Brewed with a dose of coriander and a hit [yes hit, not hint] of natural clementine flavor." Now, I like white IPA. I like coriander. And we eat a lot of clementines in the winter. However, upon the very first sip, I learned that I do not like those three items combined in one bottle. Not one bit. But that's just me.

Backseat Berner - Hoppy, bitter and far more drinkable (in my opinion). But at 7% alcohol just one made me a little loopy. To be perfectly honest, I was light headed by the time I got through half the bottle (as is the case with anything, if you don't remain vigilant with your practice, you lose your edge).

Dave, being of the "Let no beer go to waste!" mind-set -- and an all-around good sport -- is valiantly plugging away at them. Reminiscing about vacation with each bottle.
