    I’m sorry about the lack of updates lately.  I myself have just started getting over a cold so beers have been the last thing on my mind lately.

    Chris has a review he has yet to post but recently started his new job which has kept him pretty busy.

    So hopefully soon Chris will get his review up and I will get back to reviewing up my return from my trip to Philadelphia.  Maybe I’ll get a review done while I’m up there.  I am going to probably be taking a trip to the Yuengling Brewery while up there so hopefully I’ll have pictures when I get back that I will post here.

    Happy Brews!

    Sierra Nevada ESB (Early Spring Beer)

    Name – Sierra Nevada ESB (Early Spring Beer)
    Country – United States
    Type – Extra Special Bitter

    Appearance – Copper color almost red in appearance.  White head was small.

    Smell – Pleasing smell was a bit hoppy with a slight citrus tint to it.

    Taste – Good mouthfull with a bitter, taste but not overpowering.  Had slightly nutty taste to me.  Very refreshing from start to finish.  No bad after taste.

    As a fan of other Sierra Nevada brews I was optimistic on this one and it stood up to my preconceptions.  I think the play off of the name ESB by calling it Early Spring Beer fits.  It would be a very good beer for those spring nights or maybe even not as humid summer nights when you just want to sit on the porch and enjoy a good refreshing beer.

    Overall Grade – B+

    TIGER (A FIERCE LAGER)

    Sorry I haven’t been able to post sooner, especially since TIGER Lager deserves a good review.

    Name – Tiger
    Country     – Singapore
    Est. – 1932
    Type – Lager

    Appearance – Light in color, a perfect mix in color between a Yuengling and a Bud-lite. Unfortunately very little head (disappointing to me, but OK with others)

    Smell – The smell of this Lager will throw many off, by its lack of aroma. When in fact is an amazing BEER!

    Taste – Ah….were it all counts. Tiger was a decent beer, flavorsome yet had a bit of a bite to it. I thought on intial taste, that the after taste was much to bitter and overwhelming when in fact its just right. The after taste reminds me of something, but I just couldn’t but my finger on it. So if you have sampled this fine Lager let me know your opinion on the after taste. Tiger would not be a good gaming or lounging beer, it would be perfect with dinner. For all those interested in chugging a beer, this beer is for you. Yet Yuengling still holds the Lager title in my book, but Tiger is not a bad beer.

    Price – Very important with today’s economy. This beer is very affordable, I did not purcahse in a six pack, but was purchased individually for about $1.75

    Overall Grade – B- to C+
