Honey Brown
Lager
I’ve long been a fan of J.W. Dundee’s Original Honey Brown beer. It’s a nice beer and almost always available at a low price. This beer is brewed by High Falls Brewery and their website has this to say about Honey Brown:
JW Dundee’s Honey Brown is the Original Honey Brown lager. First brewed in 1994, Honey Brown satisfies consumers looking for a fuller flavored but easy to drink beer with a crisp clean finish.
In brewing Honey Brown, we use a dark pilsner style lager and add just the right amount of Manitoba Wildflower Honey. This creates a smooth Honey flavor that fades to a crisp dry finish. We use just enough hops to dry out the honey’s sweetness without lending any unpleasant bitterness to the finish.
I’d have to say I pretty much agree with their description. The beer is extremely easy to drink, not that this is a beer made for chugging, on the contrary. There are a plethora of flavors in this beer worth savoring. It is very smooth and not very bitter; so if you’re a big fan of uber-bitter IPA’s this isn’t the beer for you, Dan. There are, however, enough hops to keep this beer from becoming a girly beer (aka Berry Weiss).
Overall this is a great beer and I’d recommend it to anyone. It’s enjoyable to drink. This is the kind of beer one desires after a long day of working hard out in the heat. Then, when you’ve got it in your tired fist it more than lives up to your expectations.

Coors Light
Lager
This was the beer that was in the keg at Nick’s bachelor party in the Dells. I’ve got to say, I didn’t care much for this beer. Of course you can’t expect it to be especially tasty since the point of this kind of beer is to be able to drink a lot of it and get wasted. But I’d have to say I like this less than Miller Lite, which is okay. My choice of beers in the cheap and light category is probably High Life Light.
I give Coors Light a 4 out of 10.

New Glarus Totally Naked
Lager
I picked this up the other day and have been meaning to write about it. This beer has a very light flavour. It’s not bitter at all. It’s quite crisp and refreshing, which is very nice for the hot weather. Overall it’s pretty nice, though maybe laking somewhat in body. I like a slightly thinker beer.

New Glarus Yokel
Lager
I picked this up this morning when I was out. The description sold me. It reads as follows: 
Savor this creamy headed pint at your favorite escape. Here’s to cards on the table, a juke box chewing coins, chalk on your cue, and your favorite brew washing down the perfect burger.
This is a whole beer straight from the tanks smooth unfiltered and without pretense. Wisconsin, German and England barleys and the finest Bavarian hops combine in classsic German brewing methods. You are holding the freshest possible Wisconsin beer.
Expect this beer to be comfortable, crisp and slightly cloudy. Enjoy our salute to every guy who finished his game and left the kids quarters on the table. Remember Buy Local, Drink Yokel.
It has a nice creamy texture and a cloudy appearance. The bottle claims it is a “Wisconsin Lager with Yeast” It’s reminisciant of Spotted Cow but it’s definately not Spotted Cow. It has a very full beer flavour to it. It’s creamy and smooth and quite good tasting. It also came with a free bumper sticker which declares: “Buy Local Drink Yokel”
I give it an 8 out of 10.
