Hi, this is a blog I put together quickly so that my girlfriend and I could post our thoughts on some of the things we drink. Right now, this is heavily centred around alcoholic beverages, but it might some day even encompass other beverages we enjoy, such as tea and coffee. Of course, the opinions expressed here are our own and may very significantly differ from yours (it's all a matter of taste, isn't it?), but, whether you agree or disagree with us, I hope it will be useful in some way, if only to introduce you to drinks or brands you didn't know existed. If you should have any comment on what you read here, please feel free to drop me a note at smassy at sdf dot lonestar dot org. For context's sake, know that we are currently living in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where we arrived from Montreal in August 2005; hence, when we refer to something as local, it more or less means NS or, at its broadest, the Atlantic provinces. It also means that all prices reported here are in Canadian currency, unless otherwise specified. Price are also non-inclusive of taxes (15% in Canada), once again, unless otherwise specified. But that's boring stuff… Click on any category or subcategory to read entries more relevant to your interests and tastes. Happy drinking! Monday, October 24 2005
Flying Dog Brewry's Old Scratch Amber Lager
This was going to be the first microbrewry American beer I was going to taste, and I was very excited by the prospect. I was not disappointed: the beer is light (but no, absolutely not watery), fragrant, and easy-drinking, with a malty taste ending with a slight spike of roasted barley, leaving one definitely refreshed and craving more. This beer reminds me much of some beers from Germany and Austria; in fact, a bit too much, and one finds oneself wishing it were a bit more individual. Over all, very good, if a little expensive: but then, it's imported microbrewry stuff… [/Etc/Beer/USA/CO] permanent link |
