malleable metal, fermentation and thermodynamics
February 23rd, 2008Guest blogger, bashhacker, will be recounting his Panamanian culinary experience of taste-testing all locally-made lagers. Welcome, bashhacker.
1. Atlas: 3.8% lager
Beer-flavored water. Refreshing on a very hot day because it won’t get you too lazy. The best beer-flavored water in all of Panama.
2. Soberana: 3.8% lager
Another excellent beer-flavored water. Crisp. Refreshing. The name Soberana says it all: 3.8% alcohol. I had to slam it just to feel a buzz. Perfect for hot days when you really should be drinking water.
3. Balboa: 4.8% lager
More alcohol than Atlas, but not any more flavorful. The advertisement of “intense flavor” is misleading.
4. Panama Lager: 3.8% lager
Riding on a bus sixteen hours from San Jose, Costa Rica, was worth it just to taste this beer. Oh wait, Costa Rican beer is better.
