PURE BLONDE SEEMS TO GET A BAD RAP
i dont realy understand why ? I tried it the other night after being told in this forum that is is crap .I do however agree the advertising on the lables and that are a bit "hows ya farther"and bring your expectations to a level of this is gunna be something fantastic. and with that in mind well we would have every right to be dissapointed .
but i like to do what the wine critics do and that is tatse them blind and that is have a few diferrent bottels de labled and cold blind fold yourself and then get a mate to pour them off into a glass in a random order then taste and judge .
this is what i did and i rated it as quite palatable allthough it was lacking body(being low carbo's ) this is to be expected . very light in mouth feel it rolled off the tounge quite easy. and it did not leave a bitter after taste in the mouth from being over hopped .(although it says double hopped) it was an nice ballanced beer that would suit a session with pizza or sea food. and i belive even the lady's would like it as well.
now i am now expert but beer dose come down to individual taste so some will like it and some will not and that is just the fact of the matter.
but next time you want to do a really good job at judging some of these newer attemps of commercial variations i t maight surprise you to do it blind folded and see what happens . :blink:
buy no means am i having ago at anyone i just think that as we are beersnobs and enjoy it so much and all the advertising on the newer beers the big breweries put out we may just be and have tainted opinions before we start.
also half of the advertising teams that are use to design the labels and description probablly have never drank a beer in there life.
so its a bit like wine if we all were home wine makers we would probablly de the same with commercial wines as well .

bit long winded i know but wouldnt it be better to judge some of these blind?
