Inedit Estrella Damm

Label: Inedit
Type: lager wheat beer
ABV[%]: ?
Packaging: 650ml bottle
Brewery: Estrella Damm

Smell: yeasty sweet
Head: thick with little lacing
Color: gold clear
Carbonation: mild
Kick: naa
Rating: 7/10

Notes:
This lager has a sweet taste with a hint of citrus, yeasty taste. It has very little aftertaste, but does a great job refreshing the taste buds immediately after a swig. If Molson Canadian tasted good, it would taste like this.

The bottle looks like it's wine, making me think what's the deal. But after opening up the little booklet, er I mean bible, you are left feeling a bit uncomfortable. You see, these guys tried really hard trying to make a beer specifically for dishes... Challenging dishes, that is. You see, really rich folk who eat things like asparagus and salad need this beer to compliment their dishes. And they spent a whole lotta time on this booklet. So much time, you feel like a dolt for having this beer with a couple of tasty samosas, cuz, hey, that isn't challenging enough for this beer.

I'd like this beer better were it not for this pompous label. So, hey, try this beer, but through the freakin label in the dustbin. Sucka.

Worlds oldest beer

I often think about how cool it would be to find a bottle from eons ago, cracking it open and tasting it... maybe not.

Our Emily Summer Ale

Label: Our Emily Summer Ale
Type: pilsner...ish
ABV[%]: 3.9
Packaging: 650ml
Brewery: Spinnakers Brew Pub

Smell: lightly hopped and malt
Head: Thin, but leaves a nice lace
Color: gold...slightly cloudy
Carbonation: very low
Kick: huh?
Rating: 7/10

Notes:
This is a seasonal brew by a local brew pub, actually the oldest brew pub in Canada, but you'd never know it. It comes from the store a once a year or so, but you can get it on tap when you are at the pub. While it claims to be a summer beer, it does have a somewhat carmelly and heavy taste to it, making it richer than it looks. It is fairly sweet and lightly hopped, reminding me of some of the cream ales, but not as vanilla-ish.

What's with the name? Who's Emily? And why is she ours? As if I don't see enough coronation street at home, our kid goes and names our beer our Emily. Yew whot? Blimey.
