| Hackenberg |
| After a slight delay in can reviews, I am now back in full swing of things post Christmas. After three away trips since Christmas, many cans of various lagers and beers were drank, and as of this week, as the season comes to a close, I review Hackenberg. This was surprisingly the first time I had come across it, as I asked in the Windmill Inn Drogheda what was the cheapest and strongest cans you have. I was presented with this shoddy cheap looking thing as the even dodgier picture of the can shows. I was so eager to taste this new found beer (in the hope it may be a new Royal Dutch) that I went into the toilets and poured it into my pint glass. It went down very dodgy into the glass with a rather large head (and yes I poured it the correct way) I waited for it to settle then to get outside to start the tasting and judjing. Well on first gulp I though, holy fuck what the hell is this. Pure muck, and as I drank more and more, I appeared to become more heavily sick as it had been the day after Stephens Day, and I was extremely rough to say the least due to alot of pint robbing and so on. After downing the pint, I felt ill, but I noticed that there was a mixed taste within this excuse of a beer. I tasted Carlsberg, Heiniken, Cider and I also tasted Budweiser. It was a rather disgusting mixture and even a cheap can drinker myself I found it difficult to give this a rating. We went into the stands and drank the rest of the 3 cans that I had purchased for a great price. They went down alright in the stand, but that was maybe because I was locked at the time. To be honest and to be fair to Hackenberg, I'd drink it again, but I would not advise you to try this stomach churning shite. It is 5.2% though, but if you can't stomach Dutch Gold, you wont go near this. Value: 2 (because of its high percentage and low price) Quality: 1 Availability: 1 Taste: 1 Overall: 1 Back to Main Page Back to Can Reviews |
