| LaFeet's Full Review: Meister Brau |
At least Ipecac will taste better.
While at the grocery store last night I noticed that Meister Brau Light was on the shelf in and amongst the other "bubba" beers. This would not normally attract my attention except that I noticed that it was a light beer. Just how do you make a light beer out of Meister Brau????
We were to cook some brautwurst later and needed a beer to boil them in. I grabbed a six pack.....big mistake.
Opening the can I noticed that the dog ran out of the room as she has a keener nose than I. Then it hit me....... and I felt like that guy on the Keystone commercials (bitter beer face). Immediately I thought of the skunky beer Bud commercials - this must have been the beer they used to smell up the place.
There is a nasty sour smell that attacks your nose upon opening. It is made more powerful by the excessive carbonation, each bubble bursting and releasing thousand of skunky beer molecules into the air.
I was just about to pour this beer down the drain when my friend entered and dared me to drink it. Hey, it was a dare.... and I am a guy... and I wished that I had never bought this beer....
The taste still haunts my mouth and no amount of caffeinated brews or tooth paste can remove it. The taste was bitter (overly so) upon first taste. And there was no beer flavor, rather it tasted like a flat warm ginger ale that somehow was still carbonated.
And then there is the aftertaste....... and I still have it some twelve hours later. Bitter, sour, acidic, NASTY are a few kind words that I can use to describe the aftertaste. But I think the fact that you hope to High Heaven that you DO NOT WANT to burp after drinking this beer says more than enough about the aftertaste.
To make a long story longer.... we each drank one beer and hit each other for being stupid. The other four beers were promptly place into the trash can to await their proper disposal. I am glad that this city does not have a hazardous waste inspector for household garbage, otherwise I would be in trouble.
There is no reason in the world for this beer to exist..... it has no flavor that one would enjoy, nor body, nor texture. Other than to weight the shelf down, or to bean the noisy neighbors can see no use for this stuff.
