Cougar I need a beer recommendation

[Cougar Bait]

Stopped and got some hoegaarden for tonight.

Sweet. I really think you will like this one. It is so light and refreshing.

[brxbmbers42]

Just cracked open the first one. not a big fan of it. definitely comes in third out of the three i have tried so far. taste is kind of bland to me.

1. Franziskaner hefe-8.0
2. Hacker-7.5
3. Hoegaaarden-6.0

[MJFtheGenius]

Lionshead Light

[Cougar Bait]

Hmm. Well, everyone is different. It's a far better beer in the hot sun. Something you could drink 6 of easy. Harder to do that with the bigger wheat beers like Hacker.

[Cougar Bait]

I hope you are pouring these into a glass. In fact, the Hoegaarden actually has instructions on how to pour the yeast out at the end, printed on the bottle I think.

Yo, bomber. I'm about to tell you something that is considered crazy blasphemous among craft beer drinkers, but you might be interested in trying a wheat beer with a fresh slice of lemon or orange. It adds some flavor and makes it a bit more refreshing.

I used to do it as a newbie beer drinker... well, because the bars/pubs always gave me a wedge with my wheat beer. I don't do it anymore, but you should give it a try. You might like it, especially if you are treating it as a session beer.

Anchor Steam Beer (B-)
- Has that pungent/earthy citrus hops, grapefruit rind scent. Tastes malty. Easily drinkable. Pretty decent.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (B-)
- Also pungent/earthy citrus hop, grapefruit rind scent. Tastes like a mild version of the Celebration. Hardly to no bitterness at all, despite being a Pale Ale.

Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA (A-)
- The perfect balance between the Pale Ale and Celebration. Has a bit of bitterness and fresher hop taste. Smells less pungent/earthy than the Pale Ale.

Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale (A) *Seasonal*
- The Celebration is certainly the best of all three. Hardly or no pungent/earthy smell. The aroma from the wet hopping smells so nice. Best flavor and aroma of the three, also. Very floral/fruity and super fresh. The most bitter, but I love it despite that, which is surprising because I'm not a fan of bitter beers. This would be my session beer of choice, but since it's seasonal, Torpedo will take the slot.

Miller Genuine Draft Light 64 (D)
- I'm getting strong water notes and extremely light beer notes. Very carbonated. I guess it's pretty decent if you need a water substitute.

Miller Lite (D-)
- Same as above, but I get some stanky notes in this one.

Currently in stock to be reviewed:
- Ridgeway Lump of Coal Dark Holiday Stout (seasonal)
- Lagunitas A Lil' Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale (seasonal)

you should be able to find it. very popular brand.

Blue Moon is similar in style to the german beers but once you have had the Hacker and Franz it's an afterthought, at best.

This is a pretty good article about the difference Bronxer:

Oh and Paulaner is good, but the Franz is still my personal favorite.

[The Madcap]

Did anyone mention Presidente?

It's from the Dominican. You can get it in some parts of the States, but not everywhere.

It's one of my all-time favorites. Lived in the Virgin Islands for a time. Drank it every day. Could go threw 20 of them a day and not wake up hung over.

The key is to drink it as cold as possible.
