drinking again, 2 and half newbies

... and no evaluation. Work kills.

[CTG]

...and no really good newbies in X-mas beer category. Bah!

Possibly interesting information about Sárkány Beer (HUN), which can explain the very different results of tasting it:

The main story is shitty, and it isn't related to Sárkány Beer, but read the last few comments. (Sorry, it's in Hungarian.)

What a pity I haven't drank Sárkány Beer for years... But in the next days, it will be sold for 129 HUF/0,5 l in Interspar. and I will try it again.

BÖFF!!!

129?!?!? The last time I bought Sárkány, it was only 79...

One of the beers I like is Iguana.




But the best I like is Corona from Mexico, you have to taste it!

South American beers... something I still couldn't try.

Liver problems again, back to NA beers... damn!

Steininger sucks (GER, 149 HUF/0.5 l can, 4.8 % alcohol), 3/10 pts.

As I told long ago, I don't like wheat beers. But this year, a new one appeared in shops of Hungary, from a very famous brand: Borsodi, whose lager is very popular, and there's a well-known rhyme telling that it induces erection. So I definitely had to try Borsodi Búza, the newbie, although it wasn't too cheap (220 HUF/0.5 l)... It was a big surprise. I felt nothing of the typical taste of wheat beers (which is too sour and medicine-like for me), and I didn't feel anything else... It was rather like a noname, featureless soft drink. Then I decided to buy Löwenweisse, a well-known wheat beer to check whether my taste changed so much, or Borsodi Búza is so strange. The answer is the latter. Löwenweisse was characteristic, and it had the typical (bad) taste of wheat beers I remembered. So I wouldn't recommend Borsodi Búza even to wheat beer fans...

However, the original Borsodi (lager) and Borsodi Bivaly are not worse than before!

Quintine Blonde (BEL, 8% alcohol, 749 HUF/0.33 l): the Belgian "stereotype", excellent one, maybe a little bit too strong alcoholic taste. Mark: 9/10.

Gulden Draak (BEL, 10.5% alcohol, 749 HUF/0.33 l): strange, but it has less alcoholic taste, than the former one. However, it's not a real Belgian for me, just an average dark beer. Mark: 7/10.

Something from the deep...

Augsteiner Weissbier (GER, 5.3% alcohol, 169 HUF/0.5 l can): crap, crap, crap. Not a wheat beer at all, just water with the weak taste of rotten yeast. Really bad. Mark: 2/10.

Augsteiner Weissbier was also tasted by me. It's not that crappy, though it's not good. 4/10

Another new beer: Borsodi Búza. 3/10. Does not have a wheat beer taste.

Now I'm living farther from the cheap Holsten/Tuborg Green shop than in the previous 3.5 years, so it was time to get back to Borsodi. There's a cheap supermarket near where I can buy it.

Any of you on www.ratebeer.com? I have tasted over 500 different beers at the moment and it seems that my favourite taste is Old Traditional Ale and Barley Wines. My worst kind of beer is pilsner with no head and very metallic and water-like. Just as Rotois Corona - yuck! you could drink water instead. You should try some beers from the american brewery Brewdog instead.. 

[CTG]

Just as Rotois Corona - yuck!

So Rotoi is a crappy one. I always knew that.

Where are my beer ratings from Austria?
