Can I vote for "maybe"? by Chad9976 Pros: unique sweet taste for a lager; light body
Cons: flavor dries out a little quickly; bit coarse finish You have to hand it to the brewers at Magic Hat: only they could come up with the idea to make an election-themed beer. Participation Lager is their “Odd Notion” offering for autumn 2008 and it’s certainly a more worthy candidate for an ...

Not Grandma’s, But Still Very Good! by weggbw  Pros: Fresh taste accented by sausage, peppers and onions

Slim Jims: Salty, Mechanically Separated Chicken by toiletoctopus Pros: None
Cons: Gross, Unhealthy, Worst thing imaginable Over the years, I'll admit that I've had some rather disgusting snack foods. A lot of these are beef stick products, which while they are not the most healthy of items, are good for a quick fix with a grumbling belly. There are many different brands to ...

Not Root Beer, Grut Bier! by Bruguru Pros: Light in the palate, very refreshing, spiced just right.
Cons: Would have been interesting without any hops. We all know how those Germans (sticklers that they are for minutiae) like their beer simple and unadulterated. In fact, they stress on it so that way back in 1516 the Bavarians passed a law limiting the ingredients to water, barley, and hops (they didn't ...

THIS is what a winter ale should be! by Chad9976 Pros: rich, complex, sweet taste with some spice; smooth finish; not too heavy or potent
Cons: flavor might be a little generic It’s so difficult to find true quality winter ales these days. Most beers are either too spicy, too weak or are just too strong. Weyerbacher Winter Ale is one of the few beers that is able to fulfill all the requirements of a quality seasonal in ...

An exceptional value by Saxguy Pros: Great Belgian taste, high abv, nice price at $5.99
Cons: the taste is a bit subtle when compared to other great Belgians I had seen this at a new liquor store that had opened up right on the way home from work. I like the Belgian style because of flavor and because of the generally high ABV. Priced at $5.99 for a 25 oz bottle with abv at a hefty 9%, it was obviously an ...

Final Score.......... Fiber 1 and Blueberry 0 by nagels Pros: Some fiber in there.
Cons: One major CON described at review's end. I feel conned. How can you go wrong with the words “FIBER ONE” displayed prominently on the front of the box? Fiber is important, maybe even number one for maintaining number two’s routine. Read the box front further and you see,” At least 16 ...

Cons: No distinct ingredients noticable; body a little heavier than necessary In my quest to the find the perfect winter beer I’ve found many that started out strong and finished weak and some that were strong in one facet only, but few have been consistently sturdy across the board. Brooklyn Winter Ale comes awfully close ...

Sugar-free Fruit Slices - delicious snack that takes me back. by ladyconsumer Pros: Individually-wrapped, low calorie, no sodium, no fat, and, obviously, no sugar.
Cons: None! As a kid, I really enjoyed those sugar-filled candies known as "fruit slices". Of course, they're not actually slices of fruit. But they are shaped like slices of fruit, and they have fruity flavors. And while they're basically nothing ...

The Republic of Tea Organic Flowering Fruit Tea is Mostly Citrusy, Not a Fruity Mix by Javelina Pros: Organic, caffeine free, citrusy
Cons: Hard to find, not as sweet/fruity/floral as I expected - mostly just citrus There aren't a whole lot of organic teas available when I go shopping, so on a recent splurge shopping online at Republic of Tea, I threw in some organic teas to sample. Every so often I like to try some fruit teas to mix things up since I ...

Raspberry brown ale: original or gimmicky? by Chad9976 Pros: rich, robust, roasty taste plus raspberry; smooth finish; medium body
Cons: raspberry flavor is a little too strong and seems a bit gimmicky When I think of fruit-themed beers I tend to think of summer, casual, and/or light beers. Winter beers tend to be heavier, richer beers so how can they properly incorporate fruit? Otter Creek Winter Ale attempts to do so by combining raspberry with a ...
