What are the best-tasting beers you've had? I've learned over the years that there are basically three types of beers:
1. The "yellow" beer with a sweetish pilsner type flavor. Sometimes this has a "skunky" odor when you open the bottle. This type of beer for me is characterized by brands like Warsteiner, Brummen, Heineken, Lowenbrau, Molson.
2. The "nutty" beer that sort of has a "nut" or "coffee" flavor. Usually the color of this beer is more amber or sometimes darker than the "yellow" beers. This type of beer is characterized by brands like Samuel Adams, Bass, Fat Tire, and others.
3. The "bitter hops" flavor, like Budweiser, Coors, etc. I'd also place these in the "yellow" beer flavor categories.
My vote for the best beer: Warsteiner. It's a German beer that's a little stronger than a lot of other beers, but it has a dry and not-too-sweet "yellow" beer flavor. Most people I've introduced to this beer have fallen in love with it. Bad point: sometimes the taste is not always consistent. I'm not sure if this is due to the so-called "German purity law" listed on the label, or if it's just poor storage changing the flavor, but you occasionally get a ringer in a six-pack, or maybe all the beers in a single six-pack just won't quite taste right.
My vote for the worst beer: any beer that tastes like puke going down. It's been several years, and maybe it's because it wasn't the coldest beer I'd ever had, but the Moosehead I tasted was some nasty sh*t.
Cheers!
