eddie Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 A christmas present just got opened. I think it was bought for me as a joke by someone who's bloody walking back from the next away match I give him a lift to - a Swedish lager which goes by the name of Pistonhead. This is the foulest muck I have ever tasted in my life. As soon as I took the cap off I realised that something was very amiss - the stench of sulphur was the only detectable aroma - and that was from a yard away. I can only assume that the beer has been left beside a furnace with a very bright ultraviolet light playing on it for about six months, because the beer was skunked with a capital S. I ventured a taste but couldn't bring myself to swallow it. A quick dash to the sink and I had spat it out, followed by glass and bottle contents. Best of luck to anyone else who tries this 'beer'. Like I said, I suspect that my bottle had gone off, so perhaps it's not always rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 That's just Swedes for ya. It's obviously surströmming beer. I'm waiting for Stockholm to tell me it's an 'acquired taste' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Had a cold IPA at the ground yesterday, only because it was £3.70 for a small bottle of cider, and the same for a pint of IPA. Too bloody cold! And my guts are on their arse this morning. Eddie would have enjoyed it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I never have the same beer twice in a day if i can help it, so I'll be alright I needed to treat myself to this after the godawful Springhead 'Main Marian', I've had their 3 main supermarket beers and disliked them all. (MM + Leveller & Roaring Meg). Certainly not Nottingham's finest efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Drinking their own ***** beer no doubt? tbh i have no idea whether they drink their beer or not, or even whether they're allowed to! (If I didn't like it I'd say "perhaps that's why it tastes awful" but I do like it, so i won't) Anyway my 2nd 'Beer Of The Day' is Goose Island IPA, only 5.9%. Despite being owned by InBev now (**** InBev) it is very nice.

Anag Ram Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 This is a brewery local to me. Their beer is delicious and available from their shop (link below).

I've been watching some youtube video reviews of stuff I bought, and one linked to a broken bottle of rochefort 10 received in the post.... along with a non broken bottle of theaforementioned D&H (sent from Tuvaar reviews > Real Ale Craft beer Guide) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5xw9dmAn-M (he loves it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
