Message yalnikim P beers 800 º places 9 º 21:55 Mon 2/6/2006 Originally posted by illinismitty journalists that write articles like that have their heads up their ass I agree... I guess I have to, as one of the rating’s (Green Fern) is mine. There are a few other points in my words that I would consider negatives: * Loads of honey and grass on the nose, not all that pleasant * Sweet sugary, slightly cidery, flavour * prickly, burpy, carbonation. And in other rater’s comments: * thin lifeless head * Palate is fairly run of the mill, not much malt action * medicinal in the finish * pretty boring standard sort of lager * astringent/skunky finish I vote Greens and cycle to work but I still stand by my summation that this beer is an "Organic lager for hippies who would otherwise drink an average mainstream lager." At least he had the decency to correct a spelling mistake, which I’ve gone back and tidied up. Stu

Message ChillCoat beers 1029 º places 43 º 22:11 Mon 2/6/2006 Am I missing something in this guy’s motivation? If you write an article trying to convince somebody to try something and you can only have one testimonial, wouldn’t you find something positive? Why throw out an objection as your only example? I agree; the guy’s a moron. (or at least a piss poor writer.)

Message bridge beers 659 º places 1 º 01:57 Tue 2/7/2006 This issue isn’t really worth worrrying about - it’s an uninformed journalist writing for an uninformed audience. However, the fact he said the Edel-Weisse isn’t highly rated surprised me. In my opinion a beer that averages 3.5+ is doing quite well!! Obviously he didn’t look at the big number in the green box. Then again, he is a Queenslander....

He can’t go along with people wanting to describe a beer in that fashion then goes on to tell you how he would describe one. Sort "Am I right or am I right", type of guy.
