Brauhaus Fritz Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 This one is a bit of an oxymoron, it’s not a bad beer, but a citrus, fruity flavoured Pilsner ???? If it’s not broken why fix it. I’ll give it 6/10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Another of yesterdays tastings. I had a Blood Orange IPA before and quite enjoyed it, but this one?! My first thought was: Where is the beer? No head retention, no body, thin as hell. Sorry, another big miss in the pack which is supposed to promote GABS. My question is now do I really want to spend $50 bucks for the right to pay even more for bad beer? 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhtred Of Beddanburg Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) @Brauhaus Fritz I had a bit of a look at those packs but didnt buy and now im glad i did not. I think alot of these places are trying to offer something different but go a bit too far. I know we have come along way over the years with craft beer but i have to agree with you. There are alot like that i have tried that are not like beer at all. Taste and look more like a lolly water or seltser than a beer. Also I am thinking of going to gabs and am sure there will be many great beers. Edited March 13, 2023 by Uhtred Of Beddanburg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 1 was the sour and it sort of spoilt the taste of all the others as it was still lingering in my mouth. The last one, #10 was a vanilla ice cream beer I had to spit back into the glass and could not drink it. That's not a paddle, that's a platter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those craft breweries are trying to outdo each other with ever more "strange" beers in order to stand out. After all, there is only so much IPA one can brew. The possibilities are endless and there is a clientele out there who doesn't want "normal" beer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you are right our bottle shop shelves are sagging with an overload of sweet, sour, sickly, insipid crappy beers, mostly in 4 packs & reduced volume & the prices are in most cases outrageous. I hardly bother with them anymore, but I must admit I do like to try different ones from time to time. Coopers, Sierra Nevada, German Beers & of course lots of others are what I mainly stick to & I am happy with those & of course home brew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About time you had a drive around your area Jenny & find a few craft breweries & taste a few from their taps, it will give you new insight to flavours & beer styles, much better than going to the bottle shop. Enjoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Nice one, even better when it is on special, $16 for 4. I would buy it again 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brauhaus Fritz Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Today we had the last two cans of the GABS pack. As my wife loves her Sours I kept the last two for her ( her week end starts today). what a disappointment it was. Citra dry hopped Yuzu and Pear sour. On paper it sounds interesting, but in reality.!? It tasted like a really bad cider, if I make something like this it goes down the sink. No beer flavour, no sour flavour, no yuzu flavour, no pear flavour. The only reason I won’t give it 0/10 was the ABV of 7.2%. At least we got tipsy, so it wasn’t a total waste. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
