The berry weisse was horrible. It was SWEEEEET and it took me forever to get the taste of it out of my mouth. More than 3-4 sips of it would have been nauseating. It was like a really sweet wine cooler. YUCK.
I agree, it was distressing knowing what i was drinking, and that it contained calories.
At least they were only 1-2oz tastes and most of them I just took about 2 sips and dumped the rest out.
I told one guy there (who's kind of a beer head) that we should do our own tasting with beers that are actually good, and he said "yeah but then no one would know what they were"... I asked him what his point was. At least
my approach got us drinking good beer.
Oh and the guy who won (got 5 out of 6) wears beer t-shirts to work a lot. Probably the one he wears the most is Hale's Troll Porter. I felt better about him winning than some frat boy jock who thinks Heineken is the epitome of fine imported beer.
