US/OZ ales and lagers

Beer tasting with Miki and Józsi. We tested four types from US company Kirkland and an Aussie brand XXXX. First off, we separated the five beers into two groups: ales and lagers. The three ales kinda tasted all the same, only their level of bitterness separated them from each other. The two lagers were actually pretty good...but I thought they were both on the watery side. Anyways, to make a long blabla short, here are the results. 






Miki's ranking:
1. Amber Ale
2. Pale Ale
3. India Pale Ale

1. Xxxx
2. German Lager

Józsi's ranking:
1. Amber Ale
2. India Pale Ale
3. Pale Ale

1. German Lager
2. Xxxx

My ranking:
1. Amber Ale
2. Pale Ale
3. India Pale Ale

1. German Lager
2. Xxxx

Winter Lineup 2013

I was gonna post this last weekend but a major hangover prevented me from doing so. Nevermind it's barely fall yet, the winter season beers are out for almost a month. Anyways, I tested them with my trusted friend Józsi and we reached the miserable conclusion that they are not for human consumption. We unanomously decided not to rank them because they are equally bad, hence unrankable. At the end, Józsi wanted to make bad worse so he mixed the leftovers in one glass and gobbled it down like there's no mañana.
