off golfing for a few days so here is my catch up for beers 271,272, 273 and 274



Off on another golf trip, played Parry Sound Golf and Country, Bigwin Island and Rocky Crest, had a great time with the crew, drank to many beers but I always had room for my beer of the day.




Monday Day 271-Beer 271 Eight -Ball Stout, Lost Coast Brewery, Eureka California
It is listed as a sweet oatmeal stout. It poured almost black in colour with lots of nice tan head that left some nice sticky lacing. The aroma was coffee/espresso with hints of caramel and toasted malts. The taste is coffee up front with a nice subtle hint of hops. Overall a good brew 3.6 out of  5.


Tuesday Day 272-Beer 272 Paulaner Hefe Weissbier, Paulaner Brauerei, Munchen, Germany
It poured a  hazy, golden color with a okay head that left only a small amount of lacing. The aroma was typical hefe, banana, cloves, a little caramel sweetness. The flavour was sweet up front with hints of cloves, citrus and pepper. Overall okay but not the greatest hefe I have sampled 3.5 out of 5


Wednesday Day 273-Beer 273 Lancaster Bomber, Thwaites, Lancashire, England
This one is an extra special bitter/strong bitter. This one doesn't live up to it's name or style. It poured a amber/copper colour, with adequate head that left almost no lacing. The aroma had hints of caramel and grassy hops. The flavour was off somewhat with a musty background some hop bitterness and carmel. This one didn't rate well 2.9 out of 5.


Thursday Day 274-Beer274 Castello Birra Italiana / Friulana Blonda, Castella Di Udine, San Giorgio di Nogaro, Italy
This one is a euro lager. It poured a clear golden yellow with only a small amount of head that left almost no lacing at all. The aroma was almost non existent with just a hint of sweet malts and some floral hops. The flavour had some ssweetness up front  with just a hint of hops to finish the beer. Another strike out 3.2 out of 5.
