Day #25- Bargain Beer of the Week! Dundee's Honey Brown Lager

*$5.99 for a six-pack*



Tonight was a wonderful celebration for my good friend Tanner. It was a premature birthday celebration that included Tacos, Tequila, Friends, Family and Beer. I was low on money, thought of an inexpensive brew that was quality- and thought of the Honey Brown!

Now, i'm not a fan of Dundee's beer. Most of what I have had lacks quality, but the Honey Brown is a winner.

The beer is rich (as it says on the label), but the beer goes down unequivocally for a honey brown. While most are so sweet and rich they are impossible to drink, this beer is refreshing and somewhat complex. The spiciness of the initial taste is surprising as it leads to a suddenly smooth aftertaste that breaks through the spiciness and reminds you that the honey is there- but not so much you can't drink a few.

I would also add that it is a great beer of choice for summer if you aren't in the mood for a wheat or a cerveza.

Give it a try. It can be found (of all places) in Whole Foods in Green Hills. $5.99. What a steal.

Brett's ratings are out of 100.

*Please understand that ratings on this scale have been influenced by my scholastic history of grading. A grade below 75 is not good, it is less than average. A beer below 60 is bad. Beers in the 90s are in the upper-echelon of beers on this earth, and above 95- divinely inspired.*

As with all connoisseurs, personal taste affects all ratings. The best ratings tend to lean towards his two different biases; 1) Well-crafted heavy Stouts and 2) Lagers made with a simple perfection.

Please understand that just because Brett gives a beer a high rating doesn't mean you may think it is good. Only understand that if he gives it a high rating it is because most people who have a good taste in beer would do the same.
