About: My first beer was Budweiser. I was about 9 or 10, Dad and I were broken down and the side of the road and all there was to drink was Budweiser. So I had a swig of his, hated it!
I didn't drink beer again until I joined the Marine Corps. I was in Quantico, attending Small Computer Systems Specialist school, when I accidentally knocked a beer out the fridge and broke it. My buddies said now I gotta drink one! The rest is history. The broken beer was a Red Dog by the way.
Now days I am really a hop head that enjoys the IPAs [Stone IPA; Lagunitas IPA] and Douple IPAs [Moylan's; Hair of the Dog Blue Dot]. I also like Belgians [St Bernardus; Delirium; Three Philosopher's] a lot! I also like the Stouts and Porters [Black Butte] as well.
I enjoy going to breweries to sample as well as going to pubs and taverns. I also like enjoying beer with friends and bouncing ideas off of other intelligent people as well. Last time I was at O'Brien's I was shooting the shit with a couple of random strangers.
I hope to someday do a pub/tavern crawl across Europe. That's all I want. Simple.

Aroma: Very sweet aroma. Having a hard time picking out what I am smelling. It smells great though!
Flavor: The sweetness really comes out when you take that first sip. The finish is super smooth leaving a sweet coating in your mouth. No real one flavor sticks out except that sweetness. Not detecting any hops, no bitterness, no alcohol. Maybe its really sweet prunes or grapes I am tasting. Perplexing flavor that is very tasty!
Body: I’d have to say this is a light-medium body.
Enjoyability: A very enjoyable beer…er bier…I will pick this one up again as I continue to explore the German brews.
Another take: Ba | Ratebeer

A+ is an amazing rating. I’ll find the amazing brew to guzzle pure heaven. Suggestions on where to buy?

Its tasty. Maybe I gave too high of a mark. Maybe its because I haven’t really had too many of this type of brew to make a better judgment.
