Beer Review: Simpler Times Lager

Minhas Craft Brewery Simpler Times Lager

This is a beer that I have yet to find in stores and the only reason I possess it is due to the generosity of a very beer friendly individual who is often feeding me interesting malted beverages. Nice to see more cans, I like the preservative and lightweight quality of cans. If you are poring the beer into a glass why go with a bottle? The lager pours a slightly hazy yellow color with a quickly receding head. Aroma is interesting with a full full malt profile with a sharp alcohol kick. The surprisingly high 6.2% ABV is noted.

The malt flavor in this brew is one of a kind. I have never tasted anything quite like this. It has almost a fruity malt flavor with possibly a little bit of corn (or corn like) flavors swirling around. Very hard to describe. I wonder if this was brewed intentionally with any "off" flavors to create this unique quality. Almost has the same diacetyl taste you can pick out of a good ESB. I don't taste a large hop presence but I also don't think that would be keeping with the retro lager (real category?) style.

The most ironic thing I find about this beer is that while it describe simple times, the malt flavor is nothing close to simple. If this is just some basic all barley malt lager then I will bow my head and admit I was reading too much into this but I really feel that this is something unique. It is definitely a drinkable lager and one that I would certainly consider getting if I can make it to Trader Joe's. This brew really makes me wish I could taste the extinct brews of yesteryear, Rheingold being near the top of the list followed by Ballantine's IPA.

Final Score: 82% (Great For The Style. Drinkable but Not Boring.)

В моей деревне работать негде. А ещё планирую вновь начал учиться. И вот пытаюсь в данный момент сыскать работу в Сургуте. Снимаем с мамой комнату за 8 тыс. У нас по закону, вообще-то, можно работать без регистрации (прописка у меня, естественно, дома). А вот жить невозможно! Что за расхождения? Слава Богу, мама работает уже 5 лет. А вот мне на одной работе сказали, что не имеют все шансы брать без регистрации, т. к. имеют все шансы возникнуть трудности с зарплатой. Ясно, что работодателю просто не хочется задач с законом. Но я же не могу купить квартиру! (никогда, наверно, не смогу). Продавать мне фактически нечего. (наша квартира стоит большее 5 тысяч).
Вот снимаем. А чтоб зарегистрироваться, надо платить 8 тысяч за полгода (или год, не помню). И то по знакомству. А так дороже.
Получается, что я в собственной стране нахожусь как беженка какая-то! Боюсь милиции, а так как она обязана меня защищать... Как жить? Самое главное, что я б и зарегистрироваласьт, но сначала нужно заработать, а заработатьб не могу, т. к. нет регистрации. Родственников богатых нет.
Почему я в собственной стране нахожусь на птичьих правах? Кто с таким сталкивался, что можете порекомендовать? Как в других странах? Неужели всё так же? Или мы опять "всех умнее" оказались?

I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter
and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.

There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic
