\"\"I didn\u2019t start drinking until I was 24.\u00a0 I was admittedly one of those snooty 21-year olds with a stick up my butt that felt that he didn\u2019t really need to drink at all in order to have a good time in life.\u00a0 Eventually there were some changes in my life, and my sister was one of the people who really told me that I needed to loosen up and simply figure out how to have fun.\u00a0 And among the changes I tried to make with my life then was that I figured that I should remove the stick out of my butt about drinking and just give it a shot.<\/span><\/p>\n

So for the next few years I was making up for a lot of lost time, and I was basically trying everything.\u00a0 Pretty early on, I realized that hard shit wasn\u2019t really for me, wine was only on special occasions, and that when the day was over, beer was probably my jam.\u00a0 And one of the things I learned early on, was that Asian beers, were pretty tame in terms of ABV, flavor, and other criteria that are popularly utilized to measure a beer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, Tannen Hell, in spite of being a German bier, is basically an Asian beer.\u00a0 My eyebrow furrowed after I popped the can, gave it a sniff, and poured it into my glass, and it was as bright and clear as lemonade.\u00a0 Immediately, I began to hypothesize that this was going to be a fairly weak flavor, and it was confirmed seconds later with the first sip.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong, it wasn\u2019t terrible.\u00a0 According to the snobs at BeerAdvocate<\/a>, it\u2019s classified as a lager, but this is an instance where I\u2019d wonder if there\u2019s some sort of subclass that this could be categorized in instead, because I\u2019ve had my share of lagers, and few of them have been as light-bodied and as tame tasting as this one was.<\/span><\/p>\n

It almost had like a cherry, fruity note somewhere in the flavoring, but that was about as much flavor as this beer had.\u00a0 As I said, it was kind of bland, very light, and in spite of the 4.9% ABV, this is one of those times where I call bullshit because it\u2019s almost like the closest thing to a Miller Lite I feel like I\u2019ve had from a brand outside of \u2018Murica.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t really have much else to say about this one, and the fact that I\u2019m itching to wrap this up because I have some 90 Day Fianc\u00e9<\/em> to catch up on says everything that really needs to be said about Tannen Hell.\u00a0 It\u2019s not the worst of the bunch, but barely.<\/span><\/p>\n
