There is a fine line there, flavorless isn’t always "bad" tasting, although MGD 64 did all it could, so it’s very possible.

Sounds like the very best in mediocrity. 11/9/2009 11:48:48 AM

Depends on the beer, depends on the mood and depends on the weather

Nothing like a lukewarm imperial stout on a cold winter day

Nothing like an ice cold APA on a hot summer day

+1 I find the taste of cold only slightly less drinkable than the taste of drinkable yet more tasty.

I like my beers as drinkable as the Rockies.


As an aside, I DO find drinkability a legitimate consideration when rating a beer, just not always necessarily a quality. The term has been co-opted by a brand that offers nothing but: you can slug it back like water because it tastes like water.

Basically, the cheaper the macro brew, the colder it has to be to get it down. 11/9/2009 7:31:20 PM

This is a bashing thread, and should be deleted as such. 11/10/2009 6:22:03 AM

Alright, so here’s the question (bashing aside):

I have never looked into an unopened bottle and noticed any bubbles... big or small... I was under the understanding that the CO2 was dissolved until it was able to escape. If that’s the case, what the hell difference does it make whether they inject small or large bubbles. Don’t they reform when I pop the cap?
