I racked up another nice tab at Julio's over the weekend and grabbed another batch of beers to taste. I had a couple on Sunday and had another taste tonight. A couple of weiss beers and a standard English amber ale.
Hobgoblin (Rating = 3.5)
Sure, the name and the bottle picture are cute. The beer is solid, if not spectacular. Tastes like a real English Ale - dark color and heavy taste. Apparently, it contains some "fuggle" hops - who knows what those are. But, it works as a beer. Nice after work beer.
St. Bernardus Wit (Rating = 4.0)
A nice, classic wheat beer. Apparently, closely related to Hoegaarden in Belgium. Nice orange, fruity wheat beer. Another good summer one. And it somehow feels right to see a monk on the label - like he is really suffering for the sake of the beer.
Ayinger Ur-Weisse (Rating = 4.0)
I really liked this German brew - a little darker than the normal weiss beer with enough kick to make it enjoyable and not too fruity. Nice job Germans. First the world cup, then this beer. I guess my people will give you a temporary pass on that whole World War thing. At least while I down this beer.
Beers down: 30
Beers to go: 971
Here is the updated spreadsheet.
