It's kind of ironic, because here in the provinces I was just railing on to no one who would listen about how hard it is to find among our local micros a clean, crisp lager--or sparkling ale for that matter. One in particular, Niagara's Best Blonde, tastes like it was brewed in a corn field.Lager Borehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17177553961288536063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558050635605413616.post-56732447332068107162009-06-19T09:22:06.841+01:002009-06-19T09:22:06.841+01:00Well DMS is what I always notice.

If you can recommend some refreshing lagers for an ale bore I'm all ears ...Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844169940650659196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558050635605413616.post-84456110521013515012009-06-19T03:31:37.279+01:002009-06-19T03:31:37.279+01:00"A predominant flavour component of lagers is..."A predominant flavour component of lagers is Dimethyl Sulphide (DMS) which has a vegetable like flavour..."<br />With all due respect one might want to say that a predominant flavour component of shitty lagers is DMS...<br />If a brewer tries hard enough he should be able to get this in ales, too. For homebrewers, leaving the lid on the pot during the boil is a good start.<br />Wurst, my father's first cars were a Riley and an Epic.

And I thought I was crazy for mentioning that I have the odd pint of lager :)<br /><br />I am literally saddened when I see cider served over ice - I associate that with Wetherspoons' desire to tell everyone that their beers are served at -3 degrees and that all beers should be this cold! I don't know if I could ever bring myself to adding ice to a beer!<br /><br />I can see the dilemma though: warm day, you want an ale but it isn't cold enough...Mark Dredgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421095862178324693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558050635605413616.post-26362660613399117612009-06-17T21:30:09.447+01:002009-06-17T21:30:09.447+01:00Ed, don't you have a fridge?

A nice German Helles right out of the fridge is beautiful.<br /><br />As a big admirer of MG's, in my younger days I heard all sorts of jokes regarding Lucas. "Why do the English drink warm beer?" "Becasue they have Lucas refrigerators!" Get your fridge replaced! Just kidding, that's a shit joke, I know.Whorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784943453195129865noreply@blogger.com
