Corona Extra

Rat: Although clearly not a microbrew, I think Corona deserves discussion. Specifically, I think this whole "Corona with lime" thing is out of control. Do I like corona? Yes, I do. In fact, I like it more than having a bud or a coors. I also think, if it wasn't so expensive, it would make a fantastic beirut beer. However, all this is based on my "Corona without lime" experience. I do not believe a lime enhances Corona any more than a lime enhances a bud or a coors. Its not like I never have Corona with lime, because clearly its like the social thing to do, but my point still stands that Corona is good without the lime and people tend to forget that. 4/5

Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA; Milton, DE

Greg: Man, this is just such a good beer. I'm a huge fan of pale ales and IPAs. I just love the hops, probably because they compensate for my race's lack thereof. I spose it's a New England thing, which is sad, b/c the world could benefit from this beer. Its not quite Sierra Nevada, so it gets a 4.8/5.

Harpoon IPA, New England

Rat: Its got a little fruity flavor to it, but I like it. The bottle's got flowers all over it which I've never seen on a bottle, but if you are secure with your masculinity, you should be ok. Actually its got a soothing slightly bitter taste which is refreshing on a warm day. 3.8/5.o

Left Hand Brewing Co.'s Milk Stout, Longmont, CO

Rat: Sweet and kind of like chocolate milk, but I have to say that it doesn't really have a strong flavor. On the bright side, it doesn't have an aftertaste, but then again, neither does chocolate milk. 1.6/5.0

Kozlov Stout, Thirsty Bear, San Francisco, CA

Tom: This is the absolute best dry stout I've had in America. Period. It's fantastic--from the first to the sixth. Not too sweet, smokey as hell, and thick but not filling. It's got to be a 5.0--goddam. You can't get it anywhere outside San Francisco, though, as far as I know. So come visit! 5.0/5.0
