On taking the first sip from a can of beer, one immediately evaluates a number of important beer drinking factors. My first experience of drinking Super was one of immense importance in my life. It signalled the dawn of a new enlightened beer drinking era dominated by the drink many consider to be nothing less than sacred.
The first factor one considers is the social attitude towards ones choice of can. This stage of evaluation is only considered consciously in the extremes, when the social group has strong feelings of disgust or conversely favour. When no reaction from the social group is evident, as a result of limited or no interest in the choice of can, then this stage of evaluation is generally omitted. The social groups reaction is dependant on another group of factors including amongst other things; social expectations, personal experience, knowledge, and if limited information is held about a chosen beer, can solely come down to aesthetic appearance!
Having merely lifted the can of Super in preparation for opening, one felt an atmosphere that can only be described as friendly, welcoming and joyous pervade the room. A feeling common to all men embarking on their first can of Super. One immediately felt at home and relaxed and as the ring-pull was put to use one knew that this can of Super was going to be something very special indeed. Whichever factors were affecting the social groups reaction were creating this atmosphere, and one can only assume that all factors were contributing to create such overwhelming feeling in the air.
The second factor, and the one considered most important to most beer drinkers, is the taste department. Magnificent. Simply put, but aptly put indeed. The flavour in ones mouth was both unexpected and revealing. On drinking a lager of such potent strength (9%) the taste buds are prepared for a b itter and quite possibly unpleasant flavour. However nothing could be further from the truth! The smooth taste immediately induced an 'at ease' feeling to ones conscious self and enabled one to savour and enjoy the lager as it flowed into ones welcoming mouth. At once the atmosphere of contentment and happiness in the room was understood and one immediately experienced the childhood feeling of being 'part of the team'.
In conclusion a third factor considered will be the drinking practicality of said lager. Perfect? I agree. Consider these situations:
1. Relaxing with friends in a laid-back environment, perhaps a social gathering at an empty. A smooth tasting lager is required, one which can be enjoyed and almost doted upon as an accompaniment to gentlemanly conversation.
2. Travelling into town on public transport for a night out. A very strong, fast working lager is the order of the day, and one which will get one positively blazing in as short a time as possible!
Tennents Super is the answer. There's nowt better!www.my-piano.blogspot -

That beer essay is such a self-conscious piece of crap.
If you opened your own spirit to refreshing ideas, you might find happiness instead of your prison shaped of status worries.Comment

Oh. I thought this was another CIA thread. Tenet is spelled with one N anyways."And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961

If you were to knock back a few tins of Tennent's, thinking it was Foster's, you'd wonder what was going on:Originally posted by DRoseDARs

All uber-strength beers (and ciders) are horrible, imv. They taste foul and you can only drink half as many as a normal beer before the room starts doing the swirly-whirlies. I'd rather have a watery Fosters.Comment
