I tried this beer over the weekend and was very impressed! The smoothness and balance of sweet and alcohol were perfect for my tastes. I’ve tried Leffe Blonde a few times and found it to be just too sweet.

But, like I said, I’m primarily an Irish Whiskey drinker vacationing in Beer land.

Cool website! Keep up the good work. I found it by searching for the name of the beer; I was trying to find the brewing process and my wife already threw away the bottle.

As our beer palates have evolved of course we’ve come to know what to expect from the styles we do. Regardless, there are styles we haven’t done and we’ll likely be shocked the first time we try them too. The point of our surprise was that such a highly rated beer didn’t have the same notes that all the other top ones we’d done had – coffee and chocolate. We liked it regardless and it opened our minds up a bit to what can make a beer good.

As for our rating scale – it’s a matter of what we like, not what clowns named Jim like. Your comments are a classic example of why people hate wine snobs – the elitist, arrogant attitude. Most good beer drinkers are more laid back than that, but you my friend are the exception to the rule. Why don’t you go hang out with your Pinot Noir lovers and leave the beer drinking to people with a little less pretension?
