August ratings

On the top end of the ratings you'll find the well balanced and tasty Primátor Dark Lager from the great brewery Pivovar Náchod closely followed by the surprisingly bitter and crisp Polish pils Lezajsk Full. Also the pils Wermlandia Diplomat from a new Swedish micro, and the very strong and thick bottom fermented Zywiec Porter scored really well. The Romanian Ursus Premium Pils from Cluj-Napoca was also surprisingly good.

We rated two beers from the Danish brewery Thisted Bryghus that appeared to be relabeled. Here they are sold as Bison guldöl and Bison Export. The only earlier aquaintance we had with this brewery was the excellent Limfjords Porter, so I had high expectations. Unfortunately both beers were sweet and boring versions of international lager not worth a second try.

Most of the German beers we tried came from the terribly boring Binding Brauerei, and ranged from not exciting to awful. I mean a German ice beer?? Why?? I thought the Germans had better taste when it comes to beer... On the very bottom of the list we'll find Vitamalz. Some kind of sweetish malt drink that was absolutely terrible, and is now residing on last position of all the 1033 beers we have rated. It was even close to ending up on a score below zero... Henninger Radler was also a really terrible fluid.
