The higher alcohol content actually adds flavor imo.
Red wines have a similar effect
(some ppl actually consider this to be 'cheating' for whatever reason).
Besides, it's not like you'd get drunk off a 12oz beer.

9% is actually pretty common though.
The higher alchohol content beers are closer to 12%.

codyace · 03-09-2010, 11:27 PM

The only issue i have with big ABV beers, is their 'warmth' (or booze content). If a beer can mask it's ABV, awesome....typicallly I like when most companies do this.

BUT there are also exceptions:

Goose Island Bourbon County Stout is a HUGE beer...but flavorful.

Muscat grapes are super-sweet.
They're typically used for sparkling and/or dessert wines to have after dinner or w/ desserts.
I'm actually skeptical it would work at all as a beer, & would think it to be over-kill.

It may work ok if you pair it with seafood or fried chicken though.
I noticed some beers are grotesque by themselves, but effective ONLY IF paired with the right foodstuffs
(as opposed to being versatile)

Muscat Wine (love this stuff)

Can you further elaborate on this 'warmth feeling'?
Not being sarcastic/smartass.
I'm genuinely intrigued.

OaxKouki · 04-04-2010, 08:35 PM

So I guess I should put this here. My second batch I have brewed, its a Sierra Nevada clone. We'll see how it turns out, first one was awesome.

I hated this beer when i tried it last year, worst part is they put it in with the pumpkin ale class. I want to try it again soon, Ive had alot of beer in the past year and my taste buds have sort of changed.

cfrost · 04-06-2010, 10:17 AM

RETURN OF THE HONEYMOON!!

I got a picture mail of that one

Tougegtr-33 · 04-06-2010, 10:35 AM

I dont love this as much as bluemoon but I do like it alot.

WISH ONE · 04-06-2010, 02:42 PM

Yeah Im not a huge fan of blue moon, I like the rising moon and love the Honeymoon but Im not really down with so much of the Nutmeg/spices flavor that both golden wheat and blue moon have.

ronmcdon · 04-06-2010, 07:05 PM

tried some more stuff recently

Delerium Tremens
(possibly the most awesome name for any alchohol period)
http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/180/1385

Very fuity wine that has strong hints of apricot, banana, and nuts.
Very accessible beer that non-beer drinkers might appreciate.

Frankiskaner Hefe (wheat beer)
http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/142/1946

Another very solid wheat beer.
Very smoothe and some complexity
Reasonalbly priced at Trader Joe's for around $8 for 6, 12oz bottles.
Got myself 24 bottles, cause it's so easy to drink & pair with just about anything.
Again, also really accessible to even non-beer drinkers.

Thanks very much to the poster who recommended Unibroue's 'La Fin Du Monde'
I really enjoyed it with seafood.
http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/22/34

The Don De Dieu isn't too bad either,
although not quite as enjoyable as Unibroue's Maudite & Fin Du Monde
Got myself 26 bottles of this along with Maudite, Fin Du Monde, & Tres Pistoles.
They were selling a 4, 12oz beer sampler for $8, which is a good price imo.

http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/22/694

Also tried the Craftsman Aurora Borelais
Craftsman Aurora Borealis - Craftsman Brewing Co. - BeerAdvocate
(draft only)
Excellent ale, but a little difficult to find
Pretty intense 11% beer, and killer buzz afterwards
(wouldn't mind getting drunk off this on a regular basis, lol)

Also bought a bottle of the Honey Moon white ale.
Good price, but I'm intrigued to try it.

Renelovesnike · 04-09-2010, 04:19 AM

All this beer and not a single KING COBRA or a MICKEY'S!!!

Probably because no one actually likes them, you just drink them for one very specific purpose.

Homer_Simpson · 04-09-2010, 09:51 PM

I'm killing a 12 of Newcastle Brown Ale right now.

Had a couple of Old English 40oz with my friend during my swap, everything went numb.

No, I'm not homeless.

Favorite:
. Red Hook ESP
. Red Tale Ale
. Guiness
. Heineken
. Bass
. Beck
. Shinerbock
. Gordonbiersch and various other.

Edit: There's no fucking Trader Joe where I'm at right now.

yeah I get a lot of my stuff there from Trader Joe's.
my only qualm is that they cater so much towards wine.
I enjoy wine as long as it's affordable (or someone else is paying), but I prefer beer.
before long, you run out of stuff to try.

Surprisingly Whole Foods is also decent w the larger branches.
Pricing isn't unreasonable either.

I'm going to check out a place called OC wine mart.
their online catalogue looks promising & their pricing is reasonable.
If I didn't live in LA I would be there already.
