Scream for me Steemit!!!!
Scream for me Steemit!!! It's Beer Saturday!!
The whole scream for me thing is because it is a famous line shouted by the singer of Iron Maiden at the start of the Long Beach Arena gig on the famed and excellent Live After Death tour.
Anyway, now I have got all that shite out the way it's time to get on to the matter at hand. It's Saturday, I am fair up for getting trollied!!!
Oops, I mean - I am fairly in the mood for some civilised beer tasting. So let's go!
A beer by Iron Maiden. Well I have tried their other beer The Trooper and it is flipping fantastic so I am looking forward to this.
Look at the cool bottle top!
It looks great, a lot darker than I expected. No pun intended. In fact it's a right ruby amber, very pleasing. Fair old head on it too.
Down the hatch!!!
It's quite good, it is mild in taste despite the 6% strength. A little malty, a little sweet with a tang of citrus. It is perfectly acceptable but it's not giving me a stauner or anything.
7/10 booms
Now, let's have a look at this little cracker I stumbled upon! A raspberry Berliner weisse!!! How awesome does that sound!!
Oh, it's only 3.8% perhaps I should see if I can borrow one of the good lady's skirts for the sampling? Hmm, It might be as weak as piss but how does it taste? According to the blurb it has a million or so raspberries in it. Is it going to be more smoothie than beer?
It's very pink. A lot pinker than I expected. It has a whimsical little head which rapidly bubbles to nothing.
It smells like raspberry sherbet. That really cheap raspberry smell. Like fake raspberries. Oh dear. Oh well. In I go!
Cor! It makes my cheeks stick to one another. It's so tart and fake sweet. It doesn't even taste of beer. It tastes of pony rides and candy floss. I had better close up the bottle and give it to the little lady in the morning such is the childish nature of the thing.
I will give it 4/10 booms, it gets 4 because unlike other things that are wet it didn't try to kill me.
Well, there we have it. Another fine week beer tasting. One poor and the other alright. My streak of fine beers has been broken. Fortunately I have a pile of good stuff in the fridge. I'm off to get stuck into them!
Cheers everyone! Enjoy your weekend!
O man, that is no beer for a Saturday! Fake raspberry...ugh...do you have PO box or anything? I can send you some Barrel age beer if you like it. That stuff is awesome!
Hey you're stealing my thunder! Haha, I told me boom that there is such a thing as International beer trading, perfectly acceptable to do, I already scoped out the bubble wrap, ha!
Is the beer you're sending him your own brew? I am getting into home brews this year, it's a goal of mine!
That is a good goal!!
I was looking at the law in the UK, they seem quite chilled but when it comes to sending to armerca they suddenly got all mental.
Would it be a private courier then?
And lol, yards of bubble wrap!
I might try and home brew some this year. I fancy making a jalapeno beer!
Thanks, I think so too haha!
Really??? That son of a bitching man child at our helm is really causing havoc, grr, I have a friend trying to get a Visa to travel here and having one hell of a time for that reason.
I'll look into it some more.
Jalapeno beer! Color me Intrigued!!
Sounds good eh!! Jalapenos and beer. It's like a match made in heaven, for me at least!
Yeah, getting a visa is quite a fraught thing these days. One of my friends had a swine of a time getting his through for a weekend to New Yoik.
I would defo be game to try through a courier thoufgh!
I LOVE me some heat, it's fun to say salsa! Haha!
He's managed his wall after all. So annoying, borders are bullshit. lol.
Hell yes, courier it is! I have to get up to my brother's so I can get some more of that sponge candy stout, my God that's good stuff, definitely sending you that!
Sponge candy, every time I see that written down it arouses something in me!
He did?! I mean what on earth. I wonder when he will propose a wall around the coasts too! lol
Aw man, barrel age beer is the daddy! What's PO?
I have some fine things in the fridge I am moving onto. Including an Elvis Juice! :O)
Post Box. I recently rented one myself. (Or send me your address on steemchat). Elvis juice is an awesome beer!
I never even thought of renting one. I thought that was what it was. Man, I will happily ping you my address!
Cool! I will select something nice!
You are indeed the man!!
Oh boy, this is how it begins, beer from the Netherlands and then whiskey from Scotland, maybe also some wine from France? (lol)
It makes my cheeks stick to one another. LOLZZZZZ!!
Ugh, I hate when they have that fakey taste! It makes me so reluctant to try beer with fruit in them, though I have had a few really great ones, so I know it can be done right!
I used to hate them all but I kept trying them and started to get some right crackers since the craft beer revolution but this was one of the ones you will know. The sickly sweet fake horribleness.
BOAK!! :OD
I do know it, and BOAK is the perfect word for it!! Ew, fake raspberry is one of the worst, I don't enjoy raspberry candy for that reason- or blueberry, or banana.....there's few fake fruits I like, give me a true fruit or none at all! Hahaha!
True fruit! That shall be the call! Yeah, fake raspberry has a very distinctive chemical in it. Reminds me of something almost bleachy!!
A fabulous and amusing beer review @meesterboom I can just imagine how well you'd do in Australia as an entertaining (and highly educated) beer reviewer. You'd have a country full of avid fans following your every word as I believe we have quite the reputation for enjoying a drop or two.......every hour or two of the brown, bubbly stuff. I understand we have a fine array to choose from as well. As for me? A beer is a beer is a beer. .......and add a third measure of lemonade to it and you have a tantalizing, thirst quenching Shandy. Disclaimer......you don't have to be a beer connoisseur to enjoy a damn good review. Have one for me!!!!! Following so that I don't miss out on your next riveting review.
Why thank you for the kind words! I absolutely aim my reviews to appeal to those who dont give a hoot about beer as well. You might be right about the rep of the Australians! I have been out with a few here and seen first hand their enjoyment of it!
I guess thats why so many Scots emigrate!
Cheers lass!
You're very welcome. Anything as cool and refreshing as your images on these sweltering summer Brisbane days is very tempting indeed. I'm very happy to see that you are able to mix business with pleasure and have the skill to lure me in for a closer look. Scotts, Kiwis (like myself) and many other nationalities have emigrated to this wonderful country but I'd love to know how many were motivated by the quality of our beer. Can you imagine the uproar if beer was prohibited here? There'd be a mass exodus for sure. (:
Hehe, that is for sure. I am willing to bet though that the chances of that happening are pretty slim!
Everyone I know who has emigrated has done it for the lifestyle. So very different here where the majority of the year is wet and slightly cold.
Mixing business with pleasure is a speciality of mine. Or at least I try to make it a speciality :O)
I think so too. The lifestyle here is pretty hard to beat but I'd love a longer 'winter' having been brought up in N.Z. The multiple benefits of wet climates are the lush greenery, verdant pastures which in turn, produce healthier crops and dairy products etc. We cant have it all however and I'm very grateful for the seasonal changes in our lives. It heightens our appreciation for things that satisfy us most.
Enjoy your beer, 😁😁 don't get to wild 😎 kiss 💋
Ha! What an excellent footer pic! Cheers lass! :OD
Hmm thank you 😎😂 I'm good in it. 😂😂
rly cool photo, makes me a lil wild ahahaha
Excellent review turned out. It looks like a very cool beer
The Iron Maiden one sure looks cool, it was fun trying them :O)
very good, but in islam beer is haram bro
That is very true!
I'd take some Iron Maiden beer and Puscifer wine any day, even if it stays unopened on my shelf forever...
I do have a presentation metal box of their Trooper beer which I keep firmly on the shelf cos it looks awesome!
I like the colour of Hallowed. Definitely trying it I find it in my country!)
I hope it gets out there and you can give it a bash!
You were riding on a high there for quite a while, then back to the mundane, dump the fruit,
beer = hops & malt & water,
I know, but sometimes, just sometimes those weird fruity ones cna be awesome! But a lot of the time they are weird lol
There are no bad beers, just some are better than others.
With old age and senility fast approaching, personally, I stick with the 8+
and leave the others for the tasters to filter.
Hehe, that is a sound strategy! I think senility is a long way away for you!
I sincerely hope so. I want to be around to read more " Uncle Boom" and the continuing saga of El Jefe, with notes from the little lady as well.
Wouldnt that be something if she got a steemit account when she was older. Of course I would have by then had to create an account with my real name and fill it full of boring shit so she didnt think I was a loon hahhah!
By the time they [The Little Lady and Sir Boom Jr- and the others that are still just a twinkle in the eyes] are old enough for a steemit account they would know you were a loon from personal experience.
You can't fool kids, they live with you through good and bad, but just think of the bragging rights they will have with their friends " My Dad is MeesterBoom"
Should get a couple of free beers from their mates. even if it is raspberry weisse.
You should do a Papa-Pepper and start their account now, do posts occasionally and it will put them through University later.
Who thought of raspberry for a beer! I'll have a couple of those Iron Maiden beers, please. Not a great week so I deserve to drown my sorrows...Monday is time enough to start work again.
Aw, I'm sorry to hear it was not the best week. Get drowning them sorrows, tootsweet!!
we arrived on Saturday dear friend @meesterboom, I love this day! Beer special !, the first with a 6% alcoholic graduation is powerful as a donkey kick, which desepcion of franbuesa, I think this is the least punctuation has received from the history of beer Saturday.
Not unlike I admire the power to get all the new beers, congratulations for the dedication.
Salut dear friend to enjoy his Iron Maiden beer
I wish you a happy beer sabado
Haha, ah that gif is hilarious. Cheers @jlufer!!!
Well my dear meesterboom, we already have the reference of that Berryliner beer. Unfortunately, that beer is not made for you, we should see what is the market niche that corresponds to it. I'm going to check my fridge to see what beer I have. Cheers and do not drink a lot!
I kept my tiller and didn't go too mad on it :0)
Well done
"That really cheap raspberry smell. Like fake raspberries." I honestly read that as "fart raspberries." LOL! :D
Aaaah, dammit. I should have written that!
LOL! It would be entirely expected! :D
Cheers mate enjoy your beers and your weekend!
UPVOTED & RESTEEMED 👍😎
Cheers dude! Consider them enjoyed! :O)
Kind regards 👌
invite a beer to your followers is not bad .
It is very good in fact! A big cheers to ya!
make a contest among your followers, invite some cold beer to the cattle of the contest.
I could do! Not sure how it would work though!
here in Steemit there are many who do contests that give Steemdollar or Steem to the winner
What you have to see is how to create the publication and how is the system.
At least I intend to do it, but when I have some money gathered in steemit
since I am new and I do not have enough.
the idea is good to help another with some money more than
all to new users.
CHEERS
And a big cheers to you!
Lol the way you seem so elated about this beer makes me want to taste it, hahahaha
I do get quite elated over the beering! hehe!
Aww what a disappointment on the raspberry Berliner weisse...at least it had a cool name lol. Will be awaiting next week's selections :D
I had high hopes as well for that one!, next week everything will be ok! :O)
hell yeah bro
damn tooting!
If it's so bad you threw her out, the raspberryliner doesn't even deserve a 4.... Bury that berry in the recycle bin!
Sometimes I have been known to have too kind a heart! ;O)
Thanks for the reviews, I have been wondering about that Iron Maiden beer since it made the headlines some time ago. It's too bad the Berliner Weisse was so artificial tasting, I usually enjoy this style of beer. 🍻
On another note ... I know Steemit is usually unicorns, rainbows, cheers this, and thank you that but have to call you out on something...
Low alcohol beers are not "girly". I know plenty of women who drink sorts of great craft beer from IPA to imperial stouts to barrel-aged sours. I also know women brewers who make delicious beer across the spectrum of styles.
Berliner Weisse beers are supposed to be tart with low alcohol According to the German Beer Institute, "Berliner Weisse is relatively low in alcohol, only 2.5—2.7% by volume, and it is usually taken with a shot (a "Schuss") of raspberry syrup." According to the Germans, this version you have is actually strong. According to BJCP the alcohol range for the style is 2.8 - 3.8%. It's supposed to be tart and it's supposed to have low alcohol. (It's also supposed to taste good and it seems like this one did not).
Okay, now that I said that I hope I wasn't too harsh. I just want to be inclusive of everybody in the beer world and also want to help educate about the various styles of beer. 😊
Cheers and here to looking forward to your next post. 🍻
Lol, I don't think it's at all unicorns and rainbows!
I usually enjoy this kind of beer too. The girly comment is typical of my writing style. Which is most certainly not to say I am misogynistic or depreciative of women in any way. I am just a humorous type of writer and I say many many things in an almost nonsensical style at times. I say terrible things about men and animals too. Sometimes even inanimate objects get it as well.
It seeps into my saturday beer reviews too which as you might have noticed are fairly light-hearted :O)
I think the thing that disappointed me most about this is that it was not a genuine Berliner Weisse but instead was a styled beer done by a Scottish brewery and I have had similar in the past, particularly from the Tempest and Fierce breweries in Scotland which thoroughly nail the xxxx style type of beers whilst putting their own twist on it. That of course and despite the assurances that it had fields of raspberries in it was just so artificial tasting.
Anyway, call me out anytime. I might buy you a beer. We could go and see some carp together :O)
😊 Cheers! 🍻
Cheers, what a nice day to have a beer!
It really is! But then, isn't everyday!
Yay! enjoying your weekend it seems! What a shame about that last raspberry beer, I was hoping for a plot twist or something, but I guess I was expecting too much of that one haha.
I LOVE the cap of the Iron Maiden one! they surely care about the presentation haha. I'm glad you enjoyed that one at least!
Yeah, the maiden one was pretty nice and the bottle was quite cool. i am glad theirs wasn't rubbish because I would have felt bad about dissing something maiden'y!
Great post👍 raspberry Berliner weisse sounds like a beer I should try! Thank You for sharing this new and exciting 🍺
I thought it sounded that way too and instead I was disappointed, but everyone is different and you might love it!
Great Beers and great post, tried the Hallowed two weeks ago and loved it :) Cheers mate
Yeah I was excited when I saw it in the shop! Excellent, cheers!
hahaha.
screaming for the beer Uncle Masterboom :p
happy Saturday beer.
Cheers dude! It was a fine night!
Look like you had a great time.
It was a lot of fun!
yeah i can see that.
That was all very civilised and quite entertaining as well! I can't wait to get my hands on some of that Hallowed Belgian-style, it sounds ever so delightfully — oh yeah, I quit drinking because I'm sad and boring. FUCK
lol
Haha, there is nothing sad and boring about not drinking! Think of the victory you have the next day when the drinky folk are rough as badgers cuffs!
You're right. I need to be more positive. Not having a hangover every day of my life is actually pretty awesome, come to think of it.
Exactly, hangovers are fucking awful things!
Yeah. God really dicked us all when he created those.
Hey! How's the hangover? Did you dream about demon piss or raspberry unicorns?
I was given a 'beer' that has some sort of blueberry cotton candy flavouring added. I'd prefer a punch to the gut. Even a karate chop to the throat would suffice. Anything. Just not that kind of flavoured beer. I used to enjoy mixing Dr. Pepper with a local pilsner brand. Just enough to make it dark. People just thought I was weird though.
I think I might have tried Dr Pepper with something alcoholic at some point. Yeah, it is weird!
I only have a modest grump of a hangover. Not bad!
I'd buy the Iron Maiden one just for the kickass bottle and cap! I can't imagine how awful the raspberry one is lol
It was truly bad! Yeah, I am a sucker for that kind of thing!!
We should load up real raspberries in a barrel now and ferment them, so that a decade from now and we launch our transcontinental brewery, we would have a berry good beer to launch! None of that synthetic stuff! Real raspberries or bust!
After traquair-ing it seems like it's all downhill for the beers. I'm sure the other beers would leer at Traquair during lunch at the cafeteria.
It looks like I will be back at the shop buying the other traquair now!!
Yes, I shall start sourcing those berries for the future!!
Can you imagine the smell of ten year old fermented raspberries?? It might be both lovely and horrid!
I'm leaning on lovely, but by the time we unearth them, we own individual islands, so it won't matter as much haha! Heck, we might even have bought Traquair before the decade ends!
@meesterboom someday soon will pay yu a visit so you take me out for some chilled beer party! nice one and thanks for sharing.
I look forward to the day! :0D
If you hadn't balanced that weak raspberry shit with a savage, deathly beer like the Iron Maiden one then I'd really start questioning your manhood. But life is all about balance, and I guess you've achieved that here...barely.
Cheers!
Hahahah, I like the way you put it!! Balance achieved!!! :OD
i know I am late to this party but good to read more reviews. I have been tempted to try The Trooper but never give it enough credit, apparently a decent beer! thanks for the heads up!
This is one of the later ones and I actually think I over rated it looking back. The original trooper however is a fine thing, I would definitely try that one!
great to know, Next time I see it I will be sure to grab one to try. Glad I found you on Steemit. Love your posts.
Well thank you, you might like another beer man @buzzbeergeek. He is awfully good. Welcome to steemit!
Yes I’ve already found him, that’s how I found you
I do not like beer.
And Never drink.
Magnificent!! I salute you!
great post friend
Thank you
Can I ihave 1 glass of beer?
Why yes you may!
Wow the top of the hallowed beer is super, but that demon must see it after having a 20 beers of those. hahahaha
I'm so sad about your "fine" streak! I definitely love sours, but after your review, I am not sure, that I want to try this one...
Wish you better luck next time!
Drunk 😵 hahaha
