After a long delay, it's that time again. I already bought 3. 2 are relatively common. I will commence drinking tomorrow(Fri).

Also, I will be taking one of my pawn shop/thift store trips. So I may post if I find anything interesting. Or, if any of you here want to read about musical equipment.

My first beer is Red Stripe lager. This does not have much of the beer taste. Same after 5 min. I just burped and got major nose burn. Same after 10 min. It seems like the beer taste varies by how you drink it. When you get the beer taste, it quickly dissapates in your mouth. Same after 15 min. Same after 20 min.

The second is Bass pale ale. The name makes me wonder if it's going to taste like a fish or a Rickenbacker 4001. It doesn't have that much of a beer taste. It's not thate pale either, unless you're comparing it to something like Guniness. After 5 min, the beer taste occurs when it hits the back of my mouth. It also seems I am getting a bit of a metallic taste. No change after 10 min. No change after 15 min. No change after 20 min.

The final beeris JW Dundee's Original Honey Brown honey flavored lager. It tastes kind of beery. There is no honey taste. Less beer taste after 5 min. Maybe a litte more* after 10 min. I think I'm getting the honey taste only after doing the good old empty mouth swish, but not immediately after taking a sip, and then maybe only after belching. Not much change at 15 and 20 min.

* I think I discovered something. I'll try to type it up tomorrow at work where I have a fully operational keyboard.

- I'm finally able to type some stuff up.

My discovery is related to this sentence:

It seems like the beer taste varies by how you drink it.

This is due to the gas in the beer. The way you drink it affects how much of the gas is released as fizz. Since it's been over a week I'm not 100% sure, but I think getting fizz is related to the beery taste. If this is true, maybe with some of the beers, letting them sit lets the gas dissipate and lets the other flavors come through.

I would agree that taste could depend on how you drink it, in that if you put a certain beer in a glass, it will taste different from how it would taste straight out of the can or bottle, but in a subtle way;
But beers do have different tastes; Budweiser will taste like piss, no matter what, (and I've tasted piss, so I know--let's not go into it), and smaller, less mass-produced beers will taste better, just because they have to be better to make it.

Bought some today so stay tuned.
