Well, by "light" I meant flavor as opposed to "lite", meaning calories or alcoholic content. I am not sure of the alcoholic content of the XX import model since the waiter pours it into my glass and the bottle does not remain on the table.

I'm not a fan of any particular beer based on high alcoholic content. In fact, I'd prefer not to get drunk by my second glass. I do like some that are over 5%, but not because of that. A cold glass of Rogue's Dead Guy Ale (on tap at the local Mellow Mushroom back home) or Dogfish Head's IPA (currently 3 bottles left in the condo fridge waiting for dinner) is delightful but I'm pretty loopy after a few.

Nice list. You like a little beer with your alcohol, do you?

My fav import is Optimator from Spaten.[/QUOTE]


An excellent dobblebock, though the abv is to high for me!

Tripel Karmeliet (which the faculty club now conveniently stocks - lovely!)

Imported:
1. Delirium Nocturnum for something special
2. Stella Artois / Budvar any other time

Domestic:
Sweetwater 420

ask me next week and I'm sure those might have changed ;)

Chimay Grand Reserve
La Fin du Monde
St. Bernardus Abt 12
Delirium Tremens

They've had this on draft at Pizza Port Carlsbad for the last month or so. Tasty!

Me neither, but after a hot day of work In Mexico, when I pound 4 Dos Equis in an hour and feel absolutely nothing, the beer is too lite/light. Took me several days to figure out what was wrong. I can't think of any beers over 6ish % that I care for though.

That's excellent!

Nobody mentioned Negra Modelo.....

See my August 11 post on this thread.

Stopped in a new local oasis, the "Square Bar", on my way to a late board meeting yesterday afternoon. Enjoyed a well-cooled draught Shiner Summer Ale, the little breweries current seasonal. A brew of character with only modest pretensions to being that which it is not, "crafty" to excess.

Heineken. I'm not a beer drinking freak so my standards aren't high.

What about Japanese beer...?

I'd much prefer Sake over a Japanese Beer.
