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.

Name: Irish Style Lager
Brewery: Rogue
Overall Rating: C+
Style: Lager
Serving Style: Bottle 220z
ABV: Alcohol by volume content %
IBU: 28
Price: $5.49
Aroma: Good amount of esters.
Appearance: Clear golden straw color. Good size head with a vigorous pour but that quickly dissipated to a thin head. Light lacing on the glass.
Flavor: Getting the notable lager taste. It lingers a little on the tongue. Slight raisin flavor exiting through the nose. Other than that, there isn’t much to it.
Mouthfeel: Slight carbonated feel. Other than that its smooth going.
Enjoyability: My overall impression is this is a good one for the hot afternoons. There isn’t too much to it. Its a lager, no doubt. I am not sure where the Irish Style comes into play.
Another take: Pickled Mango | Left4Beer
