BD, Bert Grant's Mandarin Hefeweizen & Hoegaarden
BD = Beer Diary
I picked up a six pack of BG's Mandarin Hefeweizen (made in Yakima, WA) at the liquor store yesterday along with my bottle of Chopin and Jack and another six pack of Hogarten . I am such a good baptist girl at heart. *chuckle* I could pretty much operate a full bar straight out of my kitchen, but the thing is - most of the bottles are dusty.
The way that I look at it, most things that are "sin" are only such because we take them to excess. Obviously there are exceptions to this rule - but I live a life of moderation and I think if we all did the same, well the world would be a much better place. To be honest, there are bottles that have been unopened in there for at least three years.
Anyway, about the beers (and this is more for me than you):
BGMH: Fruity (to be expected with a name like Mandarin Hefeweizen), brewed with cascade hops it has a good taste. Cascade hops always taste better. I've had this about eight months ago or so but don't remember it. The aftertaste is almost a little too fruity for me... but overall is o.k As I have a crazy nose the scent is a little bit of a turn off - reminds me of the metallic sweet scent of opening a can of mandarin oranges. Would be nice in the summer - oh wait. Here that means all the time.
Hoegaarden. I've enjoyed this witbier for awhile. Pleasant notes of coriander and banana. Cloudy, sort of a heady musky scent. Tasty - would be even better on tap. Isn't particularly strong - not a criticism per se.

So sitting here still uploading music...
I want to be stereotyped. I want to be classified.
