Interesting.. had one couple months ago. Exact same experience. At least someone gave it to me and I didn't buy it!
Both Green or Brown Dos Equis work well, as does Corona.
Lately, I've drank Molson and Blue Moon Belguim. I'm wanting a Porter on my next trip to the store. But none of that Vanilla Porter from Leinenkugel. Just straight Porter, no Stout either.
If I can't find any, being it's seasonal, I'll settle for some Heineken Dark.
Holland 1839- reminds me of heineken
Licher Weizen- very nice hefe, hints of banana etc.
Boot Tread Amber Ale- decent ale
Bacher Lager- another similar to heineken, a little skunkier
Wernesgruner Pils- a little bitter, a little hoppy decent.
I make an excuse to shop at aldi for some items, the money i save there on a small cart of groceries pays for my beer in my opinion...so free beer is good beer right?
Was ok overall for something different. I usually purchase one single serving beer per week and enjoy.
For the price, I feel kinda ripped off (about $6.50). Sure it was everything that was listed in the notes, but maybe it's my age, but I would feel just as happy with a $3.50 bottle of Tap 7 that's bottled according to reinheitsgebot. Kinda like choosing a really good conventional oil, as opposed to an overpriced Synthetic.
