Just thought that I'd finish this discussion once and for all folks....
THIS is the ultimate beer!
In the past 2 weeks I've had the opportunity to have a beer with several different european folks that were over working on the 109 and I said it must be terrible having to drink Canadian beer knowing what you are missing back home and they replied that they thought it was" very good and that they quite enjoyed it" . I think what we have here is pure and simple Euro brew snobbery .you guys act like our taste buds were ripped out . The fact being water makes up the largest part of beer and if I wanted to drink clean or good water Europe would be far down on the list
When I was finally of drinking age, 18 was the legal age in New York state waaaaayyy back then, I though Canadian beer and ale especially LaBatts and Molsons outdid most every thing we brewed in the States but folks I've got to tell you something. I have seen (or tasted) the error of my ways. I have been converted, and I see the path to true enlightenment! I went to Germany on vacation 4 years in a row (it was nice working for an airline) and tried some different Pilseners and I couldn't believe the difference. Smooth, mellow and no after bite like Bud. Here in the U.S.A. we like our beer COLD!!! the frostier the mug the better - right? All that does is kill the taste. Try drinking it at room temp or slightly less. What's it taste like? Bud tastes like sick panther pi*s. Now drink a German Pils at that temp and you'll see the difference. I vote for Pils.
