OK, so I busted Fyre’s “balls” about not posting up here, cause I sat in her presence as her and J talked over and ‘reviewed’ a new beer they tried and had some good discussion on it then never posted. I was like, well you already love blogging and already have formulated an opinion on the beer, so what’s the friggin hold up? She then challanged me to write a review of some beer. Since I hardly drink beer, I said, what you want me to review the piss-water diet beer I drink, she said yes, so here it comes.
So, Michelob Ultra! Yay psuedo-beer. The first question is obviously, why would you drink that stuff? Well it’s easy, I am a fatass, well I was a fatass, but then lost a bunch of weight, since drinkin a beer or two on occasion had to be part of the equation I figured go with the least of all evils. This is in effect beerish water, but it is drinkable. I doesn’t have any particular bad taste as it is very low on any taste, but as I am not a huge fan of beer to start, it’s ok with me. They can be drank all night and not really noticed.
More crap beer, Miller Lite. Here is another psuedo beer, it is basically Mich Ultra with a hair more carbs and calories and slightly more flavor, slightly. I would say about 10% more beer taste than the Ultra. Again something that will convince your body that you are having actual beer while still trying to watch the midsection.
OK, so let’s move onto something that is actually beer like. Sam Adam’s light. Now this is actually a pretty decent approximation of beer but “light”. I don’t know how light it may be, not sure if it can really be called light as it may not be much lighter than, um, not-light, I don’t know haven’t checked. All I do know is that is does taste reasoably beer-ish without the bitter horrible bitterness that regular Sam Adams has. Maybe the bitter is what makes you fat, so they took that part out, not sure, but it’s a nice flavor and relatively easy to drink. So if you want a light beer that tastes like beer, this one is probably the route to go.
Blueberry Beer. Not sure who it’s by, the GF picked this up for herself and I had one, all I know is it has a paw on the cap and it was smooth as, um, well, can’t think of good example, but something very smooth. It was just enough blueberry to cover all the things about beer that make it tough to drink fast and had just the little bit of natural sweet you find in fruits. Basically this is a beer you can drink alot of fast, if so inclined. This is definitely a woman’s beer but damn easy to just slurp down if you don’t care so much that all the guys will call you a little bi-otch for drinkin a woman’s beer. Hey at least it isn’t purple with a little umbrella in it. I will have to figure out who makes this beer, it’s not a microbrew I know that. Oh well, get it if you want to drink alot fast and don’t care who busts your balls about it.
OK, well, that’s all I got for now, 4 reviews of 4 beers. Fyre, balls in your court, step up!

I have to agree with the assessment of the Mic Ultra… what little taste it has isn’t particularly bad or offensive. More water than pisswater. I’ve found that at mainstream events where it’s that or Bud, the Mic is the much less displeasing beer to lean toward.
And… uh… I don’t think the Blueberry beer is why there were calling you a little bi-otch
