Since I’m not that much of a beer drinker, I’ve decided to try out as many different brands and types of beers, lagers, ales, etc. as possible. I like the typical Canadian lagers, but I can only drink about half a bottle at a time; the first gulp is always the best, but it steadily goes downhill from there.

Second to the first gulp is probably the beer burp that you sometimes get a while after you stop drinking. Yes, beer burps are actually good tasting burps.

Anyway, I’m going to keep a list of the various beers I have tried here so that I a) don’t try them twice, and b) remember the results of my test.

Beers I Have Tested

Coors Light (bottle) [USA]

Very watery compared to everything else I’ve tried. You realize this stuff is not all that great after you’ve tried other beers.

Budweiser (bottle) [USA]

A little better than Coors Light, but not by much.

Bud Light (can) [USA]

Actually tasted pretty good. I don’t know if it was the beer itself, or the fact that it was canned, but I enjoyed it for the most part.

Miller Genuine Draft (bottle) [USA]

It tasted like something was missing from the recipe. I didn’t like it. There was something wrong with it, but I don’t know what it was. Dull flavor.

Guinness Draught (bottle) [Ireland]

Not my kind of drink. I didn’t care for the low carbonation content as my mind kept thinking it was just flat. The taste was a bit strong for me.

Löwenbräu (bottle) [Germany]

My first real German beer. This stuff had serious flavor that blew away any of the North American beer that I’ve tried so far. A little strong for me flavor-wise, but if you like the taste of beer, I recommend trying this stuff.

Heineken (bottle) [Netherlands]

A decent beer with a sharper taste. I’d drink it again.

McEwan’s Scotch (bottle) 8.0% Malt Liquor [Scotland]

An odd drink. Has an initial somewhat overly sweet taste, then gets very bitter. Unpleasant aftertaste. Do not want.

Paulaner Original Müchner Hell (bottle) 4.9% Beer [Germany]

Sharp like Heineken, and strong like Löwenbräu, but not very flavorful. Just an overall harsh experience without much taste.

König Ludwig Weissbier (bottle) 5.5% Wheat Beer [Germany]

A strong, smooth tasting beer. Pretty flavorful, but it tastes a bit different than most of the other beers I’ve tried. I can’t quite find the words to describe it. Not bad, though.

Coopers Sparkling Ale (bottle) 5.8% Ale [Australia]

This Australian beer is pretty strong. It’s like the taste of three regular lagers concentrated into one. Not too shabby.

Grolsch Premium Lager (bottle) 5.0% Beer [Netherlands]

Tastes like bitter water. Very bitter water.

Leffe Blond (bottle) 6.6% Beer [Belgium]

Very full bodied and a little bit sweeter than most other beers. Not the greatest taste, in my opinion, but this one seems like a quality beer.

Old Milwaukee (can) 5.0% Beer [Canada]

Brewed in Canada, this crappy beer has a bit stronger flavor that the typical lager.

Newcastle Brown Ale (bottle) 4.5% Ale [UK]

Not bad. A strong taste, but lacking in body.
