Beer of the week #5

Even in the world of unemployment it is very important to savor the moment. Of course you all guessed it is time for the beer of the week!

Since we no longer have jobs to tend to in the morning, it is the perfect time to start drinking some quality beer. Tonight’s beer list is longer than usual:

1) Kawartha Lakes Brewery Raspberry Wheat beer: This one smells like raspberries, but the taste is slightly off. This beer is very weak (4.5% alcohol) and has a raspberry taste but it doesn’t mix too well with the overall taste of the beer. Overall it is fun to try but I wouldn’t buy a 24.

2) Kawartha Lakes Brewery Nut Brown Ale: A weak version of the Rogue Nut Brown Nectar. Although it is much cheaper, I would recommend investing a bit more and going for Rogue. If you are curious this one has 5.1% alcohol.

3) Duvel: A very fruity and strong tasting Belgian beer. Watch out when pouring it because I had about 5 inches of head in my glass and no beer. :) It has 8% alcohol content and is best drank out of a glass.

4) Bornem Tripel: No this is not a typo, it is yet another Belgian beer. I would say it is very similar to Duvel (fruity beer) but the taste is very weak. Maybe it is because i drank it right after a Duvel? It is a 9% alcohol but the alcohol taste is very subtle. Anyways, try it out, it's a good one.
