ajzepp Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Yuengling is still my favorite brewski....though I give some unexpected props to Michelob Ultra. I was out to dinner at Outback a week ago and I ordered a tall one....they served it in a nice frozen mug and it was nice and frosty....best beer I've had in a while, though I always prefer a nice cold draft beer to drinking bottled beer at home. It really enhanced my meal.....not a bad domestic lager at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivier in france Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 In the summer, if you want some real refreshing beers, yes go to some Belgian "Whites" (Bruggs, Hoegarden....) , the mexicans can do the job too (Corona and others.., the Corona being the least tasty)... but what really refreshs is a good old panaché made with any good lager or pils (panaché being beer+ lemonade) , or even better a beer-lemon (just add some lemon syrup or concentrated lemon juice to your beer).

olivier in france Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Wits and Hefes are good. You might be able to get away with an alt, but it starts to border on being too heavy depending on how it is brewed. I had a couple bottles of a Dusseldorf alt last night and I probably would not drink it on a hot day. My Northern German alt, however, is very light and refreshing (1.004 FG). The FG puts me slightly out of style, but it is hidden. Very refreshing. 711159[/snapback] Dusseldorf alt? was it a Schlosser alt?!! for me the best alt, maybe even the best beer! but yes not a beer for a hot sunny day!

It was not a Schlosser. It was from an American microbrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a fine line between the right amount and WAY too much. Personally, I have a rule of not adding anything to my beer after it has been conditioned. If you need to add something to it to make it better, it was not that good to begin with. If lemon/lime should be added, it should have been added during the brewing/fermentation process.

I kind of like the taste of a fresh squeezed lime added to certain beers. Subtle taste of lime on the bottle rim and fresh pulp. You can't get the same effect if it is added earlier. This is especially refreshing on a hot summer day by the pool. I agree that a good beer is good on it's own. Ever try Old Scratch? link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
