Interlude: Jimbo's Piss Lager Awards

I thought it would be appropriate to remind myself and all the beer lovers out there about the piss that is mostly sold/bought/served as beer, though I call it piss.


These four beers have been the worst experiences of my beer year:

3) Lapin Kulta IV A

Well, at times man must bend his ass and be assraped painfully. On Finnish railroad monopoly Valtion Rautatiet there is only Hartwall piss and Sol available in their restaurant car. Sol is actually ok, if you are thirsty drunk in a nice party, but I was in the middle of Finnish coutryside, so I chose Finnish giant Hartwall's product. That was a huge mistake. This 5,2% ABV piss lager tastes like metal, alcohol and malts. Very bad, but drinkable.

** Drinkable, hardly

2) Lapin Kulta Arctic Malt Dark

I thought, that after Lapin Kulta IV A, this dark lager would be better. I was so wrong. This amber brown liquid was even worse than basic Lapin Kulta. There was this malty taste, but otherwise very poor, very bad. Still, I could drink it.

** Drinkable, still

Special Sham Award: Lapin Kulta Luomu Jouluolut

So, yule is coming in a few months and this is one of those seasonal beers. This is organic dark lager. I was fooled by the nice bottle and organic ingredients. Watery liquid, that went down okay, but was very, very poor, slightly dark brown lager.

** Drinkable

...and finally a Winner of Jimbo's Piss Lager Awards:

1) Saku Taurus

Beer is an alcoholic beverage. As an enthusiast of beer and the culture, I can't understand beers that are made only to get drunk. Here's one of those. Did not buy this, but had a glass from my (ex-)father-in-law. Couldn't finish the glass, as this was not drinkable. 

* Awful piss


PS. Last year's piss lager "winner" was Foster's lager that I forced down my throat in one metal festival. Never again!
