First review

Yeah, it's a little early in the day to be enjoying a beer, but it seemed like the right thing to do. No better time to sit in front of the computer and try to write my first beer review *as* I drink it.

Picked up a case of SmuttyNose last night. I'd just been reading a little bit about this beer lately so I decided to try it. Was about $35 from Mac's. This was a variety pack, which I like, more bang for the buck I think. Increases the chances you find something you like. You can just close your eyes, reach in the fridge, and put it to your lips and surprise yourself.

Anywho, The Portsmouth Lager is today's beer. It pours a nice dark golden color, medium clarity, about a 1/2 inch of bubbly head. I notice a little bit of sediment on the bottom of the glass. The first sip hit the middle to back of my tongue nicely. Has a nice smell, and a decent aftertaste. There's also a nice maltiness to this beer, which I prefer. Some of the lighter lagers, just don't have enough flavor IMHO.

As I drink the beer, I'm finding it to be quite good. I'll have to check the alcohol content but it is probably a good 5% is my guess. Nice lacing on the glass, and the bbubbly head turned to a nice thin layer of foamy head, exactly how a glass of beer should look ;-)

So I think I'll finish this review by giving it a score from 1-100. For this beer, I would rate it a 87. A B+ beer, but that's only because I find lagers probably the most generic style, and not necessarily my favorite. But a decent drinking beer nonetheless.
