Ah. Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 28/01/2010 03:36:15 PM
It's too fruity-sweet/spicy for my liking to go with food. I'm weird about flavor combinations though. I'm aware that it's completely irrational (because I have no problem drinking wine with savory foods, but then I don't drink sweet wines either), but there you have it :D I prefer the less sweet beers with food.

I see. I don't think of it as that sweet, but then I guess really bitter beers are not really big in Belgium, that's more of a British/Irish thing... Mostly I think of it as very refreshing, hence I definitely agree with you on the summer aspect.

I guess I do agree that really sweet wines or really sweet beers - as in, actual fruit beers - don't go together with a normal meal very well.
Witbier I guess? But if you don't know, there's really no chance for the rest of us :P

Oh, witbier is Flemish, that's not the point - I didn't recall exactly how it was spelled in English, whether it was a literal copy, a calque or something inbetween.


I see. I've seen it basically every way you spelled it, so I'm not sure there's a set English/American spelling, but probably whitbeer I suppose. I always spell it witbier though.
If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

None of the above. Real men don't drink beer. They drink vodka, or whisky, or rum. *NM* Tom - 28/01/2010 02:30:18 PM 411 Views

You'll just have to visit the beer country and drink them locally. Legolas - 28/01/2010 10:10:10 PM 831 Views
Yeah, basically impossible to brew real lambic anywhere else from what I've learned Brian - 28/01/2010 11:51:13 PM 851 Views
And by basically impossible I mean it is impossible. *NM* Brian - 29/01/2010 12:24:46 AM 483 Views
