OK so this was a mistake. Of the many cheap beers out there, Bavaria crown (in a bottle) is one of my favourites. This though was just downright weird.
The strangest thing about this beer is how sweet it is, its like some sort of syrup almost.
In short, getting this beer was a rookie mistake but making mistakes is the best form of education. I had 3 cans tonight and due to its strength at 7.9% (not even 8.6) it has left me with a nice buzz and surprisingly I find it gets better the more i drink it. I'm sure if I drank enough Bud light it would taste pretty good after a while too but when I sober up I will remember that i have at times forgot to wash my hands and tasted piss inadvertently that was better than an American light beer.
My advice, avoid this beer unless your sole goal is having a strong alcohol content beer to get wasted and not remember what it tasted like.
I now understand why people drink to forget, in my case it is to forget the taste of this beer.
Do you drink many Belgian beers? I thought the Bavaria 8.6 (I had both blonde and gold) were basically Belgian in character. (After all, the southern Netherlands and northern Belgium are culturally one.) The blonde was fruity and the gold was lemony, and I rather liked them both. To each his own, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteMy question is only, do you generally drink Belgian beers, and if so, do you (a) generally dislike them the same as you disliked Bavaria, or (b) in fact like them and dislike Bavaria specifically for being a poor example of a Belgian-style?
