Once again, I've gone quiet. I have had a couple of beers in the last couple of weeks, but have been negligent in my documentation. I will do my best here to knock a few of them off.
Estrella Damm (Rating = 3.5)
I had this Spanish brew while I was in Las Vegas earlier this week. I found a nice little tapas place with a tasting menu. I was surprised at how many courses they actually brought me - it was a treat. Starting with some cheese, parma ham, anchovies, etc. I selected a draft Estralla Damm to drink. It was nice, an easy drinking beer. The tasting notes mention hints of grapes and orange, followed by caramel and vanilla. Not sure I got any of that. But it was a nice beer. I believe I had the special version of this beer a few weeks back. Regardless, this one at Jaleo Jose Andres tapas place was pretty good. Not worth traveling to Spain for - but at least trying if they have it on tap.
Zyweic (Rating = 3.0)
So, this fine Polish selection, was consumed at our Poland ethnic night a few weeks back. I had actually had this one on draft during my last trip to Poland (actually, I think I had it during both trips I took to Poland over the last couple of years - I sound so worldly, don't I? Except for the fact that it is POLAND. Who goes to Poland twice?). I knew that Wegman's carried this one, so I did pick it up. The taste was about what I remembered - basically, a generic beer. A little bit stronger than a Bud, but nothing crazy.
Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier (Rating = 3.5)
This one was at Romaine's in Northboro for dinner a few weeks back. I've had this one before in Germany, but it has been a while. Another solid, good Germany hefeweissen.
There is at least one more draft one that I had in Germany a couple of weeks ago, but I can't remember the name - I will confirm and update later.
That is all for now - waiting for spring.
