George Killian's Irish Red

20110131:
Getting some food and a drink at CVP (Charles Village Pub). Killian's is one of the beers on tap.

"Killian in a glass. Nice aroma. Smooth and tasty. No bitter taste. I let it sit in my mouth and it had a nice feeling on my tongue."

"Consistently delicious and never bitter, it goes with virtually everything."

Heavy Seas Gold Ale

20110129:
Since I was at the movie theatres, the server poured the beer from the bottle into a plastic cup.

The beer tasted like one I've had before, but I didn't know which one it taste like. It was not, however, amazingly good, so it wasn't worth trying to recall the familiarity.

Note: Being new to tasting beers, I've been leaving out two critical steps to drinking beer. The first is smelling the beer and the second is drinking it out of a glass. As such, I've only had a fraction of the full experience among all the beers I've had up until now! On the bright side, at least some of them have been out of a glass.

Interesting, I went from thinking the beer was "just good" to "great taste."

Today I came to Mario's with my friends Josh and Arash. While the beer choices here were slim, I decided to go ahead and order a glass of Pacífico.

I wrote: "Pacífico. This beer is light. Note that I squeezed a lemon in and I don't know how it tastes without one." 10:03PM PT

In hindsight, I would note that I drank the Pacífico after a Lagunitas IPA, which would have severely reduced any tastes the already light taste Pacífico would have had.

Today, for happy hour, I decided to start with a Pacífico. However, I only noted that it was alright. Afterwards I had a Speakeasy Big Daddy IPA.

Website Information (Grupo Modelo Website):

Pacífico is a beer with a long tradition in Mexico and is Grupo Modelo's leading brand in northeastern Mexico. It is a pilsner, clear beer with a refreshing, smooth taste. Pacífico was first brewed in Mazatlán, Mexico and Grupo Modelo began exporting it to the western and southern US in 1985, with great results. Pacífico is currently the fifteenth most popular imported brand in the US.

Pacífico is the best choice for people who like to share with their friends, enjoying what has come to be known as the "Pacífico lifestyle".

Pacífico was born in the early 20th Century and it is brewed mainly in the Cervecería del Pacífico plant, in the city of Mazatlán, in the state of Sinaloa.
