Beer of the week


So my Wife and I were on a cruise that stopped in Ensenada, Mexico last week and I found a beer that I have never tasted ( I know odd, right?). Bohemia Obscura was my new discovery this time. I'll have to say that for Mexican style lagers, Bohemia is my favorite but when I saw this bottle I just had try it. I likened the taste to if a Newcastle Brown Ale and German Dunkel had been blended together. The easy drinking of the Newcastle ( from a bottle of course, which is the only way anyone should drink it by the way) and the really dark maltyness from the dunkel made a very good match and brought out the best worlds for me. My friends at Beer Advocate gave it a B+, which I think is a fair rating. I don't particularly think it's something I want to drink all day such as a session type of beer, but I do think it would be great with a meaty dish or even dessert. If you can find one I'd for sure say give it a shot and let me know what you think.

Cheers,
G.
