Looks to me like the general consensus is it's bland.

A, a man whose tastes are picked by committee. How sad and pathetic.

[Asher]

Yes, it is both sad and pathetic you consider yourself a beer snob.

I give you a pass. Nice work.

Maybe you could teach GePap a thing or two.

What is specially funny about this is that if you go to Beeradvocate and actually look around, the beer I recommended (Michelob Amber) has the same reviews as St. Pauli Girl Dark (a C) and the single review of Dos Equis Dark gives it a C+, that being the best score given to a Dos Equis brand.

So next time Asher, know your sources, so you look like a smaller tool than you actually are.

Without looking online, could you tell me what beer style Dos Equis is? No way to verify whether you could actually do so without looking on line, much as the same way I would doubt you could without further immidate research tell me what type of beer Cantillion is ans that you would cheat to know, but then, what would you know about good taste?

What this comes down to is that's the reason so many different beers are produced. Individual tastes.

You still don't get it. Man, you are thick.

You claimed to be a beer snob. SlowwHand did not. Neither did I.

I'm showing you that beer snobs don't like Michelob. I don't give a **** what beer snobs think, I'm just showing you that you're not a beer snob. You're a poser.

I'm not a ****ing beer snob and I hope I never am. I'm just pointing out you are not a beer snob if you like a macrobeer that beer snobs almost universally hate.

I'm not here pretending to be a beer expert, I'm just putting a poser in his place.

It warms my heart to see an American icon swallowed up by a foreign company. Now you know how the rest of the world feels.

The pundits tout the falling dollar as a way of increasing exports because it's now cheaper to sell our stuff overseas. Well guy, "our stuff" includes the Chrysler Building and Budweiser Brewing Company.

Smell is dismal, smells like a college apartment.

Wrong, the college apartment smells like stale beer.
Geeze, you'd think they'd get it straight.

Wow, a tool and ignorant.

People who classify themselves as beer snobs (and if you are classifying people who have acounts on beeradvocate as such, well, then guess what? I had an account!) can like any number of beers. What being a beer snob entails is actually enjoying beer for the taste, knowing the subtleties that can go into the taste of beers, the things that add depth or mouth feel, and all the different styles. It is knowing that dark color derives from how toasted the malt was, and has little to do with say alcohol content and so forth.

Such a person can still take a macrobrew and enjoy it, much like a gourmand could still get a good philly cheesesteak and be in heaven. I know, something someone with such small horizons as yourself could probably not understand.

Spoken like a true snob.

Another reminder why I have no use for snobs of any type.

[Zkribbler]

BTW: If any of you are ever in Hawaii, do NOT drink the Primo Beer.

That's one beer that we can all be snobby about.

[SlowwHand]

I don't like Coors or Millers, to name 2 domestic beers.
Hell, I'd likely quit drinking altogether if that's all that was available. OMG, I thought of something worse.
Coors or Millers in a place like Utah or Oklahoma, 3.2 .
Oh, gag me.

The worst beer I ever had was Wiedemans.
But back in school it was only $1.68 for a case of returnable bottles so it was popular. (yeah yeah, this was 1973)
We called it the beer with the ping because about 3 seconds after taking a sip, you'd feel a ping in the back of your throat. The worst ever, but again, after 8 or 9, what difference does it make.

You are not a beer snob. Beer snobs have such "refined taste" (usually on a psychological basis) that they cannot like most macrobrews.

I'm not sure what's worse: a beer snob or someone pretending to be one. You should have a conference with Oerdin on the matter.
