Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted November 22, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted November 22, 2022 So, I drank Beerlao after lunch, and Birra Moretti just now. Beerlao (Laos, lager, 5%) - my most favourite Asian macro beer, and in fact, I don't consider it shit beer at all A regular guest in my fridge. Surprisingly well balanced, not too sweet (much less than most other typical SE Asian beers), not too malty, with a light hint of bitterness. A solid 6.5/10. Price - 1$/500 ml can on average. Birra Moretti (supposed to be Italian, but this one's brewed in the UK, lager, 4.6%) - actually pretty ok. Goes down like oil, surprisingly medium-bodied. Inoffensive, clean taste, although I started noticing some harsher notes once it got warmer in the glass. Definitely drinkable, though I wouldn't buy it on purpose again. 5/10. Price - 2.8$/440 ml can here due to import costs (so clearly too expensive for what it is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally not using it as an excuse to buy more beer Anyway, got my first few at the store, will drink them and report after work. I don’t like Moretti as much as Peroni personally. I was a bit disappointed to find not-the-same Peroni as what I was drinking a lot of in Italy last night. That Tsingtao review was of a beer I had will be my only non-recent beer review here. I just wanted to get that out of the way so I don’t ever have to drink Tsingtao again - I wasn’t expecting to be able to find it here… but I ended up finding it the same place I found Peroni.

I think I'll get Peroni tomorrow for comparison. I did the review for Moretti earlier, so that'll be my reference point. From what I remember, Peroni tastes much more watery, but I think I had the Nastro Azzurro version in the past too. Tsingtao is skunky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what I should get next. I've still got 4 (I got a 12 pack) of those Nastro Azzuro Peronis left. I wish I could just swap them for regular Peroni... I might just do Budweiser next, in honour of them giving out their Qatar beer to the winners... and also because that's probably the cheapest.

What did you get instead? You underestimate the Midwest, my friend. They were low stock or sold out of almost all the truly shit beers, leaving me with beers that I'd have considered upper tier in school. I've settled for Killians Irish Red and Modelo Especial (which I really do like but haven't had in a long while). It's probably for the best as I'm not sure I'm ready to fully immerse myself in the mire. Best to just dip the toes first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can buy a large can/bottle of some of these beers, but I'm also not about to just drink one large Budweiser and not really feel the alcohol. Or I'll end up buying one San Diego local craft beer, which will be better quality and stronger... but that's not really gonna be useful for this shit tier bier project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because personally, I can notice the differences in taste and compare different beers easier if I drink one can/bottle of one sort, then cleanse the palate with a cracker or something, and then move to the next sort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I am not much of a beer snob myself... All these macro lagers might not be the best thing ever, but I find most of them perfectly drinkable, especially ice cold on a hot day. Some more, some less, but still perfectly drinkable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
