But then I was a Tennent's drinker... |
Surely not Tennent's Super?  |

Scientific stuff aside.... I've just finished a pitcher, and a bottle of soju. My conclusion is that I'm pretty fucking wasted!  |

Hehe, that's just what's needed on a Friday night after a week's work. |

| So my friend and I have each finished about two pitchers a piece. I had started a really good, solid buzz, but then we went to get ice cream from Family Mart-uh and I walked it off. I have mixed feelings about this. I could be drinking liquor instead and be getting drunk much faster, but on the other hand, it has been a lovely gradual buzz. |

| I believe Cass Red, despite a few of you enjoying it out of novelty, will suffer the same fate as Cass Ice Light or Hite Prime Max (slightly more successful, god knows why) - the occasional pitcher in a random mart that no one buys. Then there will be a new product that everyone will get excited about, then stop drinking. |

A friend and I are working through some Cass Red right now as we speak. We have several bottles as a scientific experiment to see how much we can possibly imbibe before passing out. Hypothesis: A LOT.
The color is a bit of a turn-off though. I would describe it as "Urinary Tract Infection Orange." |
Your colour description is on the money.
Only time I've tried it was last wednesday I'd already had some beers with an old Korean co-worker.
Going to a wedding this weekend in North Chuncheon province.I'll check the buffet fridge.Have to start from neutral. |

Cass Red - noch ein Geschmack, den die Welt nicht braucht ...
Wo soll ich anfangen? Am Anfang gibt es immer eine gewisse Erwartung, ein Produkt unseres Erfahrungsschatzes ...
Als Deutscher, der unerfreulicherweise schon mehr amerikanisches Bier trinken musste, als irgendjemandem lieb sein kann, erwartete ich irgendetwas in Richtung koreanisches Bier plus 'individueller Note' - die Moeglichkeiten reichen hier von Kimch'i bis Honig-Ddeok. Nimmt man die rote Farbe dazu, denke ich unwillkuerlich an Bohnen ...
Der erste Kontakt: nachdem ich es wie eine normale Bierdose oeffnen konnte, es an den Mund fuehrte und probiert hatte, war ueberraschenderweise nichts Ueberraschendes da - zumindest nichts negatives. Andererseits konnte ich auch nichts positives finden. Mit dem Gedanken an Miller's Gold versuchte ich es ein zweites Mal, aber wieder: Fehlanzeige. Nur der entfernte Hauch von etwas Bieraehnlichem.
Dies ist definitiv kein Bier. Vielleicht koennte man es als amerikanische Trinkbarkeit bezeichnen, deren 6.9 Prozent Alkohol nicht ueber die Geschmacklosigkeit hinwegtaeuschen koennen, und die bis zur Aehnlichkeit mit einem Softdrink grossindustriell vorverdaut wurde. Ich muss fairerweise zugeben, dass ich absolut kein Fan von Dosenbier bin. Flaschenbier - und ich rede hier nicht von irgendwelchem Plastikmuell, sondern von richtigen Glasflaschen - ist immer besser und wird immer besser sein. Dosenbier kann niemals an die Qualitaet von Bier in Glasflaschen herranreichen. Aber die Tatsache, dass hier jemand vorsaetzlich die Frische und das Gefuehl von Aufregung aus einem karbonisierten bierartigem Getraenk entfernt hat grenzt eigentlich an Vergewaltigung.
Nein, dies ist kein Bier.
Nein, dies ist auch kein Softdrink.
Nein, nein und nochmals nein, es ist kein Genuss ... nicht fuer echte Maenner.
Warum entfernt man nicht den Alkohol gaenzlich und vermarktet das Ganze als Erfrischungsgetraenk fuer Wanderer? Der Farbe nach zu Urteilen koennte man es auch auf wundgelaufene Fuesse reiben.
Der Fairness halber werde ich 'Red Cass' noch eine weitere Chance geben, wenn ich naechste Woche wieder nuechtern bin, und auch der 'Trink-bis-zum-Umfallen' Stresstest steht noch aus, aber aus frueheren Versuchen mit amerikanischem Bier betrunken zu werden weiss ich, dass dies wohl nur passieren kann, falls ich irgendwann mal in einer abgelegenen Oase im Irak enden sollte ... |

I don't know. I got a pretty good buzz going last night, even led to some drunken posting (posts which have since been deleted.) |

Cass talk - still another taste, that the world does not need... Where am I to begin? At the beginning there is always a certain expectation, a product of our wealth of experience... When Germans, which unpleasant-proves already more American beer to drink had, than somebody can be dear, I expected something toward Korean beer plus ' individual note ' - the possibilities are enough here from Kimch'i to honey Ddeok. If one takes the red color in addition, I think automatically of beans... The first contact: after I could open it like a normal beer box, it to the mouth led and had tried, surprisingly nothing surprising was there - at least nothing negative. On the other hand I could find also nothing positive. With the thought at Miller's gold I tried it a second time, but again: Nil return. Only the distant breath of something beer something similar. This is definitely no beer. Perhaps one could call it American drinking bar, whose 6,9 per cent alcohol cannot emislead about the Geschmacklosigkeit, and which was major industrial before-digested up to the similarity with a soft drink. I must fair-prove admit that I am absolutely no fan of dose beer. Flaschenbier - and I talk here not about possibly some plastic garbage, but about correct glasflaschen - is ever better and will be ever better. Dose beer can never to the quality of beer in glasflaschen herranreichen. But the fact that someone removed deliberately the freshness and the feeling here from excitement from a karbonisierten beer-like beverage borders actually on rape. No, this is not beer. No, this is also no soft drink. No, no and no, it is not a benefit again... not for genuine men. Why does one completely remove not the alcohol and does market the whole as refreshment beverage for wanderer? The color after to judgements one could rub it also on wundgelaufene feet. For the sake of the Fairness will I ' talk Cass ' still another further chance to give, if I am again sober next week, and also the ' drinking until to falling down ' stress test it is still pending but from earlier attempts with American beer to become drunk I know that this can probably only happen, if I should end sometime times in a remote oasis in the Iraq...
Thanks Babelfish! |

I had a friend who used to work his way through a bunch of cans of Tennent's Super on the bus to the football (supporters club traveling from Glasgow to Aberdeen), and used to miss most of the actual football as a result. |

Did you manage to digest it, or did you spit it out?  |

Jeepers! TWO pitchers EACH?! And that was just a taste test.
I now believe my reputation as a big boozer is unjustified. |

In retrospect, we were much drunker than we thought we were at the time. The fact that we stood in front of the ice cream freezer for a good 20 minutes debating which ice cream to purchase (out of maybe 5 choices) should have been a good indicator. Or the fact that I decided I could magically speak Korean all of a sudden and attempted to engage some random dudes on the street in a conversation. |
