    Scrimshaw Pilsner

    Name – North Coast Scrimshaw Pilsner
    Country – United States
    Type – German Pilsner

    Appearance – Light straw color with little to no head.

    Smell – I struggled with any type of smell at all.  There was a faint smell of malt and fruit.

    Taste – Simple and to the point.  A crisp, malty taste with a hint of hops.

    The label on the bottle claims it as a very simple beer and that’s exactly what it is.  Nothing special or fancy to any aspect of it.  While pilsners aren’t my favorite beers this one wasn’t bad.  It was very refreshing and would go well after any manual labor.

    Overall Grade – C

    Warsteiner Oktoberfest

    Name – Warsteiner Oktoberfest
    Country – Germany
    Type – Marzen

    Appearance – Light orange/gold color with a nice sized white head.

    Smell – The aroma is malty and slightly grainy.

    Taste – The taste was very light of malts and bread.

    With my recent Marzen kick in getting prepared for Oktoberfest I have to say that this one was a dissapointment.  The look and smell were nice but the taste just wasn’t there.  It seemed very weak to me and it just left me unfulfilled.

    Overall Grade – D+

    Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat

    Name – Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat
    Country – United States
    Type – Wheat

    Appearance – Light/Mid golden color, comparable to apple juice. No head, even when poured improperly from a bottle.

    Smell – An overwhelming smell of cherries. Very aromoatic, similar to liquored cherries. Very appealing, but deceving.

    Taste – Great taste, but different from the first time I sampled this beer. I first tried this beer at The Treasure Coast Beer Festival, I may have been to under the influence. I recall the beer being amazing and I raved about it to all my buddies. I was a little dissapointed this time around. Slightly watered down, but still very tasty. Just like the smell the cherries where very obvious in the taste. Lacked a little in the carbonation area, but not bad. Just the mix of watered down and carbonation was not good.

    Despite popular belief, Samuel Adams uses real Michigan cherries. Unlike the opinions of certain beer advocates, DAN.

    Price -$1.79

    Overall Grade – B-

    Apologies for Chris’ glass as we were at a different location than normal and not enough proper glassware was available.
