Fruity Patooty Beers!

avatar

1000010734.jpg

Beers, sweet glorious beers. The oil that lubricates life itself. Where would we be without beer? Well, possibly not in the toilet pissing like an elephant at four in the morning.

I digress. So here we are on a fine Saturday and that can only mean one thing... Beer!

It has been a long time since I did a beer post and the world has moved on in that time. We have to be more sensitive to others, more tolerant. Men in particular with our toxic masculinity have to tread more carefully now and stop being such dicks.

It is to the furtherance of such tolerance and acceptance that this week I have decided to try some...

1000010744.jpg

That's right, lady beers! Beers that tickle a lady's fancy. Fruity beers with hints of dessert and other such sweet things that should not be.

Ah, I jest of course. Well, mostly. The Good Lady and I were out and passed the Beer Shop the other day. She was bowled over by the choices on display and fancied choosing a couple.

Who was I to refuse, so we doubled up on her feeble can numbers and here we are.

So what delight do we have first?

1000010739.jpg

A fruit sour with Mango, Passion Fruit and fuck knows what else. The label mentions strawberries as well. I mean, for the love of god chaps, make up your fucking mind. Is this a Fruit Salad or a mighty beer?

1000010670.jpg

A frothy chap, like slops from a golden beer sea.

The 4% ABV doesn't fill me with confidence. I like my beers to punch me right in the face. Oh well, here goes.

Hot galloping potatoes. This is like riding a Mango Pony through a field of juicy fruit. I do like it. It is a bit flat, even a bit thin in the mouth BUT it is juicy and sour and not so sour that my anus is puckering up like Sarah Jessica Parker eating a carb.

It doesn't really taste of alcohol which can either be a plus or a minus. Given that is is August in Scotland and is not raining for ten minutes. I am going to be generous and take it as a plus. 7 out of 10 booms!
Yes yes, I said 4 out of 5 in the video but I couldn't remember my rating system!

Well, that was good. What next?

1000010740.jpg

A Peach and Honeycomb Sundae? Well well, that sounds a little better. I have always been fond of a Sundae. If they can squidge it in a glass and ram up the alcohol content then I will be a happy man. The mention of apricot gives me a little bit of the heebs as it is a known fact that no one likes apricots.

1000010670.jpg

It looks exactly the same as the last one! Right down to the frothing madness at the top.

What's the worst that can happen? To the necking!

Aargh, that was minging. Like bitter fruity watery snotters. Disappointing, like that time when an old lady spat in my hand. I didn't even get an erection. A poor showing. However, that is a tale for another day. A poor 2/10 booms!

And there we have it. Slightly rusty with a mixed bag of beers but its done. And now, to the real stuff!

1000010724.jpg

Cheers!

I remember these. When you going to bust out the guitar?

I had some lady beers a week or two ago. The mango-ish one was the best. Had a peach flavored sour beer that was alright but it reminded me of some bathtub hooch.

Cheers man.

Haha! I had never seen this side of you ( a connaisseur type of video ). I could hear the second beer go directly to your intestines. It must have been the apricots ;<)

I haven't been too much of a fan of the fruity beers that I've tried recently but sours and fruit beers seem to be the new trend these days. 7 out of 10 for the mango beer is a pretty good rating. I can't imagine what mango beer would taste like. I'd give it a shot at least once if I saw it

It is definitely the trend. There was a gigantic section of fruits and sours.

Good to see you trying some beers again. I've posted about my feelings on fruity beers. I'm not much of a fan, especially if they put fucking pineapple in it. Can't stand the stuff.

Mind you I had a Canadian beer the other day and they served it with a slice of orange. The beer itself was okay though.

I have been off them for some time but recently had a hankering and have been back on the beer train. Pineapple though, yes indeed it can fuck off. It has no place in a beer!

Quality reviews man!!! 🤣

I've tried them kind of beers a few times and never by choice and they've always been manky and too tart and not what I want in a beer. Got a few in an advent calendar beer box one year and they were pure shite. Had another on a beer tasting paddle at a brewery, again piss water.

Glad you landed on a decent one with the Glorious Mango Basterds... Even the name is quality, so glad the contents of the tin matched it.

Nice garden by the way, looks like a great place to chill out for the 3 days of summer sunshine.

That was interesting! I have never had a fruity beer! To be fair, they have used fruit in beer for a long time, I just didn't always know it. With Homebrewing and craft-y beers, there has been a fruit revolution.

The sour citrus looked acceptable... hmmmm. I may have to give it a go.

I never thought I'd say it but some of these new fruit-infused beers aren't half bad (but some are downright awful). I tried a sour raspberry one that would have peeled the paint off the walls. It was in a variety pack that I bought.

We live in a condo building and, this entire summer, I've been anonymously leaving a can of beer in front of one of my older neighbor's door a few times a month. He really likes beer but was stuck on Corona so I thought I'd help him expand his repertoire a little with some variety. My wife and I are taking bets on how long we can keep this up without him finding out, but then, maybe he already knows but is keeping quiet because he likes the free beer. Lol.

It's so good and as an added bonus doesn't have corn syrup in it. Lots of craft beers here in the states are starting to use corn syrup in the brewing process and it's really not great for you. I think it gives more of a punch to the alcohol though and I think this is the real reason they do it. It feels like doing a shot.

Corn syrup is bad, I would steer clear of those ones too although I can imagine as you say doing it for the alcohol hit as it will give the yeasties more to devour and turn into it. I like everything in life to not have things that you dont naturally have!

It’s funny you say this because I took a picture of this absolute soy-boy fruit fucking beer the other day when I was at the grocery store. What asshole without a man-bun would drink this dog shit?! Fucking gross dude.

The fruity beers are downright annoying. Some that add citrus peels or something are okay but mango pineapple vaginabeer?

If I want a fermented, fruity alcoholic beverage, I'd go with a cider over a fruit beer every time. Pear cider is fermented pears, peach cider; peaches, apple cider; surprise -- apples. To date, they always taste like the fruit they are named after.

But ... having said that, it's awesome to watch you try to keep the swill in your mouth and finish the video.

Out of curiosity, did the good lady have the same opinion?
