General Impression: 3 out of 20
Craftmanship: Boring
Freshness: seems a bit Stale
Personal Taste: Disliked very much.
Notes: There’s no ‘there’ there. It’s the first unfiltered beer that had no haze. It’s the first wheat beer that had no wheaty body. Poorly crafted, badly balanced, and just downright watery. Very much like a light beer, but I’m still consuming the extra 50 calories.
I’m three for three for your hatred!
It’s not you, man, it’s the beer. And, I’m fairly certain that you were not trying to engage my taste buds with Harpoon Hefeweizen, which really seemed more like a light American Pilsener (AHB Natty Light).
I think you might really like the O’Hara’s Irish Stout, which was kind of nice, and seems a lot like some of your other fave stouts, but the rest were just taking up your fridge space.
Like I said, I think I’ll really enjoy the Hardy’s 2 years from now. I sincerely liked the 2 Oskar Blues I gave you (easily my favorite Scottish style ale), and I hope you enjoy them. j.
