100 bottles of beer off the wall

I know it's been a long time since I wrote anything in here so I figured that I needed to change that.

About a month ago I reached my 100th beer, and people have been asking me what my favorite is. So in response I put up my top ten favorite beers on the side bar and will now go through them here in this post starting at the bottom.

10. Erdinger Weissbier Dunkel
This Weissbier (that just means wheat beer but Weiss actually means white which is strange) pours with a very dark reddish brown color. It has a slightly sweet aroma to it and tastes a little bready with a bit of a bitter sweet chocolate taste to it. All in all a really decent beer.

9. Grolsch Premium lager
This is a prime example why Holland has flipping awesome beer. It's a light golden color to match a light beer. When you smell it you can really pick out the hoppy aromas in it and it has a hop filled taste to match with a clean refreshing finish that leaves you wanting more.

8. Hoegaarden White
Belgium has something going for it and that's good beer. It pours a cloudy, pale yellow color and smells spicy and of citrus. Also you can taste the distinct lemon/orange peel taste right away and the spicy taste right after.

7. Stella Artois
I don't care what others say. I just like this beer because of it's simple hoppy bitter taste and that's it's so easy to drink.

6. Big Rock Grasshopper Wheat Ale
Yet another wheat beer on the list that's brewed right here in Alberta. This beer definitely is an easy summer beer and my choice to drink when I go out to bars. Tastes best with the lemon.

5. Kronenbourg 1664
1664 tastes similar to Stella with the few exceptions. It's slightly less bitter and it's extra carbonation adds a sharp bite to it. All in all a very refreshing beer.

4. Shaftebury Wet Coast Wheat Ale
Again a wheat beer and again a Canadian one. Wet coast is a clear golden yellow (this is different because most wheat beers are cloudy) . It's simply citrus taste goes down easy and leaves the lingering taste of lemons in your mouth afterwards.

3. Big Rock Maibok
Truly my favorite Big Rock beer thus it's number 3 placing. BR Maibok pours a golden brown color and you can really smell the malt on this one. It does a great job covering up the higher alcohol content with a slightly sweet, malty flavor.

2. Sleeman Original Draught
Light in color, light in body, light in taste. All round easy drink and refreshing too. A definite summer beer.

1. Brahma
A truly tastey Brazilian beer. The beer itself is a light golden hue when poured it has a white head that unfortunately does not last long at all. It smells faintly sweet and grainy and has a very slight bitter taste with the sweetness lingering on afterwards. Again this beer is for a hot summer day but it's worked it way easily to the top of my list.
