just had to comment on some of the stuff that’s on the front page but not on the boards. i don’t know what it is, but i really dislike the taste of evian water. something about it just tastes funky, kind of like the...

in hops which interacts with light to produce a skunky flavor. Beer exposed to light (in essence, most of the beer you buy in those bright, glimmering deli coolers—which is why I ALWAYS reach back to the back of the cooler)...

For a week’s worth of beer for eight guys, we’re talking eight cases at minimum right? So if you purchase sealed cases the likelihood of skunkiness is minimal. I would stay clear of the really heavy stuff and get two...

, but it was skunky. They took it back and got him a Polish beer. My friend ordered the Salmon Fettuccini. She LOVED it. I took a bite and it was tasty. Very spicy and creamy. The fish tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. I...

Light causes oxidation, which tastes skunky. How about that? But I think we’re in agreement on the important stuff here — keg beer, especially fresh keg beer, is least likely to taste “off.” All the better...

't a fan of their beers at all. That evening we headed up to Ogunquit and dined at the Steakhouse in Wells. My first forrary into Lobster Stew will be a memorable one. Never before had I realized that butter and cream would make...

It may not be superlative, but it’s not awful, either. I remember some very good fried oysters. Spectacularly large beers help. Just hope it hasn’t rained heavily upstream – I’ve seen the place flooded by...

beer drinkers often like the freshest beer (hence the born on date), and folks who have a favorite beer when at home often won’t order it abroad because it tastes OLD, if not skunky, to them. So guys from Japan will order a...

Don’t know much about beer, it really isn’t my thing, Coronas suck, Coors ain’t bad, the few micro brews I tried, we definitely not worth the money, but I like this beer. not skunky, not bitter, not watery,...

I’m not a fan of Stella personally finding it to be a typical euro-lager. But if you find it "skunky" then you are drinking it from either an old bottle or one that has been light struck. I know of no beer produced that...

! (Is the secret ingredient mashed plantains?) They also have a wondeful array of Jamaican soft drinks, including Ginger Beer and Ting grapefruit soda. My only complaint is that the beer selection is minimal and tends toward the...

Most Japanese beers are now brewed in Canada. The Canadian versions are IMHO skunky compared to their original counterparts. Lowenbrau – Swiss Lowenbrau – I think may have eventually been killed by Miller’s...

City Lighting was such a huge disappointment. The location is prime, and the space was used pretty creatively. But the food was consistently awful. Another big negative was that the bartenders didn’t pay enough attention to...

tougher than you think, bob. I don’t know a single decent beer bar within miles. plenty of places for guinness pumped through dirty lines, or with a few skunky bottles of pete’s wicked whatever, but no serious beer...

to get recent bottlings of local microbrews. Perhaps the problem with the Heineken can be blamed on their green glass, which does not protect the beer from light damage, which causes skunky flavors to develop in as little as a...
