Beer

Tsingtao is really good, but it's big, you can also get it in Europe. Yanjing is another classic chinese beer which is reasonably good. From Japan, I only remember Asahi. I hope you're having a great trip

I have just returned from the local massage saloon, where I had a 2 hour long Chinese massage with a beautiful girl (of course without the here-so-common "happy ending"!) followed by a seafood dinner on the seashore, so I just couldn't be any better.

Love this country.

of course without the here-so-common "happy ending"!

I wonder why people forgot to make silly jokes from this...

Two newbies and an almost forgotten one from 2006:

Lasko Zlatorog (SLO, 4.9 % alcohol, 179 HUF/0.5 l): average beer for a warm day. Quality is something like Borsodi or Soproni. Mark: 5.5/10

Baltika No. 7 (RUS, 5.4% alcohol, 579 HUF/0.5 l): not very strong but tasteful refreshing light beer from Russia. What a shame, it's too expensive... Mark: 7.5/10

Info for Usrin: these are available in Auchan (Savoya Park) - thanks to Parador Co. There are also some unusual beer from Belgium (several brands), France (several brands), Portugal (Sagres), Vietnam (Saigon), Japan, Romania...

And the old one:

El Grande (FRA, 5.9% alcohol, don't remember the price, maybe ~350 HUF/0.33 l two years ago): contains added rum which gives quite a good taste to this beer. Not my favorite but it was worth to try. Mark: 8/10

And so many beers are missing from my rankings tried in 2006: Schöfferhofer, Köstritzer Schwarzbier, Wernesgrüner, etc... I can't really remember them.

With 4 Polish and 2 German newbies later.

I couldn't rate Warsteiner although I drunk it - that night was simply horrible with a new personal record of drinking alcohol (but as far as I remember I gave something like 6 +/-1 pts). And the biggest vomit after it... Details: later, in another topic.

Tonight: re-testing Warsteiner.

[CTG]

Warsteiner (GER, 4.8% alcohol, 199 HUF/0.33 l): great summer beer without real power but with nice bitter taste. Mark: 7.5/10.

Now let's continue with the well-known Pilsner Urquell.

So the promised six beers from the last few weeks:

Flensburger Dunkel (GER, 4.8% alcohol, 259 HUF/0.33 l): disappointing dark beer without power and a bit waterish taste. No bad backtaste but I don't recommend this one for dark beer lovers. Mark: 4.5/10

Flensburger Weizen (GER, 5.1% alcohol, 259 HUF/0.33 l): a lot better than the dunkel version. Great wheat beer, although it wasn't very strong. Mark: 8/10

Tatra Jasne Pelne (POL, 6.0% alcohol, 2.79 PLZ/0.5 l in a non-stop supermarket): good-mediorce semi-strong beer, nothing really special but I liked it. Mark: 7/10

Zywiec (POL, 5.6% alcohol, 6 PLZ/1 l in a restaurant): strange one. Tastes like an average beer with average alcohol content - but somehow it hits. Another strange thing: it had more metallic taste than other canned beers in Poland. Mark: 6/10

Okocim Mocne (POL, 7.1% alcohol, 2.75 PLZ/0.5 l): very special and delicious beer, it has 15% (!) extract content. A little bit sweet but in the good meaning. I liked it very-very much! Mark: 9.5/10

Zubr (POL, 6.0% alcohol, 2.50 PLZ/0.5 l): quite good, but nothing special again. I felt the semi-high alcohol and extract content. Mark: 6.5/10

Beer tests:

Soproni Fekete Démon 4.5/10 - nothing special
Blanche De Namur 6.5/10 - I guess the tastes of the beers were mixed in my mouth and I was hungry, maybe it would have deserved a bit more
Erdinger dark wheat beer 5.5/10 - rather dark than wheat, that's why Usrin liked it more than me
Prince (cheap beer) 3.5/10 - drinkable category

[CTG]

I just recognized that Blanche de Namur was a newbie for me too, so...

Blanche de Namur (BEL, 4.5% alcohol, 399 HUF/0.33 l): weak in alcohol content but quite tasteful white beer anyway. Not my usual style. Mark: 7.5/10
