First and foremost I need to say I really really like Warsteiner beer, you can enjoy this beer in all its’ glory at the German-American festival in Oregon Ohio. Well, all except this version, which unless Warsteiner was trying their hand at making their own pop is a horrible stain on the Warsteiner name. The first thing I noticed was that it was green/yellowish Mountain Dew kind of color. I first thought it was from the bottle, but as you can tell from the picture the bottle is clear – this scared me a wee bit to be honest. This ‘beer’ gave off a sweet lemony citrus smell. The taste was very similar, a sweet citrus pop like flavor.

Ladies, gentlemen and primates welcome to a new installment where I attempt to put the ‘brew’ in MonkeyBrewster.com Starting today I will be showcasing a new drink every Tuesday rated by me. Technically wine and liquors are brewed as well so expect more than just beer because we monkeys don’t discriminate when it comes to drinks. So what makes me an expert in drinking, what that gives me the power to rate and place judgment on the elixir of life? Well, nothing-you just have to take my word for it and maybe try a few for yourself to compare the difference and then share your take on it.

I come from humble beer beginning where Natural Light was the household favorite. I know you just made that, what I like to call ‘EwWwWwww’ face – that’s OK I understand but we all have to start somewhere. Today I enjoy a slightly more refined taste, but I won’t pass down a free Natty. Some personal favorites are Guinness, George Killians Irish Red, Negra Modelo and Itaipava (served super chilled on a beach of course), but as I said there are too few beers I know to really say I have a refined taste.
