Moving to Tumblr!

I will move my blogging/micro-blogging to tumblr from now on. The year has changed, I need a new blog engine:

Le Ciel Nous Tombe Sur La Tête

Phoenix Beer

My first Mauritian beer in years.

• Aroma: Kind of malty
• Appearance: The regular lager colour with a nice head which laces my glass pretty well.
• Body & Texture: Very crisp with a decent carbonation and medium body.
• Aftertaste: Very slight bitterness.
• Overall Impression: It's a very delicious and drinkable lager. I highly recommend it on a hot tropical island.

Guinness

My nemesis, I haven't had a Guinness in almost 6 years.

• Aroma: Somewhat sweet.
• Appearance: Doesn't it look beautiful with that nice head?
• Body & Texture: The head is very creamy, I have never experienced that kind of sensation from a beer. The bitterness is present throughout the drinking experience along with a sweet note in the back.
• Aftertaste: The bitterness stays there for a while but does not overstay its visit in the mouth.
• Overall Impression: I can see why some people enjoy the Guinness so much. It has some unique characteristics but I am not into stouts these days.

Brava Premium Lager

Good looking bottle, logo and name, but what about what is inside?

• Aroma: No significant aroma.
• Appearance: Light golden, this hints at being a light beer.
• Body & Texture: There might have been an initial minty flavour but otherwise light and easy to drink with no significant surprises.
• Aftertaste: Slightly bitter.
• Overall Impression: It is among those light and weak beer, I do not enjoy this type that much.

Grasshopper

I am getting lazier on posting my beer reviews, they are days late!

• Aroma: I can never smell the beer.
• Appearance: Amber clear, very uncharacteristic of the cloudy appearance of witbier. I believe the Grasshopper has been filtered.
• Body & Texture: The smell of alcohol is much stronger than other beers, something must have gone wrong somewhere unless that is the actual taste of the Grasshopper.
• Aftertaste: There is a slight bitterness which fades quickly.
• Overall Impression: One of the worst witbier I have ever drunk, I will avoid this one like the plague.

Corona Extra

I can't remember the last time I have drunk a Corona Extra but I am done with lagers for the time being. I will be focusing on Witbiers and Ales if available.

• Aroma: I can't remember anything distinct.
• Appearance: Light golden.
• Body & Texture: Light, crisp and nothing special from it.
• Aftertaste: There was some trace bitterness.
• Overall Impression: I will classify this beer among the list of diluted or close to water I have had so far. In brief, this beer is weak.

Rickard's White

I'm running out of beer to try at the Crown & Dragon, here's another local witbier:

• Aroma: Kind of fruity.
• Appearance: Cloudy like other witbiers with a very thin head.
• Body & Texture: It doesn't feel that intense and it tastes like orange, it might come from the slice hanging on the edge of the glass.
• Aftertaste: Clean, no noticeable traces left behind.
• Overall Impressions: There is something missing from this witbier, it feels weak compared to other ones I have tasted.
