\"\"Earlier in the day, I went to the grocery store to pick up some food stuffs to feed my infant throughout the week.\u00a0 There was an unnerving amount of anti-maskers there, in spite of the fact that the entrance of the store explicitly says they are required.\u00a0 Obviously, nobody wants to get into any altercations or get assaulted over mask policies, so this always slides, no matter where you go.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where I wish there were Luke Cages all over the place to enforce mask policies, and nobody could fuck with them or even hurt them, even they tried.\u00a0 Get on that shit, Publix.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coming home, there was a house with no less than eight cars out front.\u00a0 I\u2019m assuming someone was having a football party of some sort.\u00a0 It\u2019s not like coronavirus numbers aren\u2019t on the rise, and large gatherings don\u2019t have something to do with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The night prior, there was a house near me that had at least 16 cars parked out front.\u00a0 The fuck is wrong with everyone?\u00a0 I hope every anti-masker and every person who arrogantly is helping prolong this epidemic gets fucking coronavirus.\u00a0 They seem to want it so badly, I think the world owes it to them to oblige them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway.\u00a0 Twenty beers down, four to go.\u00a0 My first impression when I pulled the can out of fridge my first impression was that this looked like the most German can that I\u2019ve seen over the last three weeks.\u00a0 With a font choice that makes me think of <\/span>Wolfenstein 3D<\/a><\/em>, and a crest that seems to have lederhosen with an H worked into it, it\u2019s basically the most German design there\u2019s been.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for the beer itself, it was a nice dark caramel color, and I was beginning to wonder if I was going to get yet another dunkel, which made me excited.\u00a0 The first sip was met with a toasty flavor, and I thought that perhaps I was getting another dunkel.\u00a0 The snobs <\/span>at BeerAdvocate<\/a> however classify this as a lager, and I\u2019m brought back to earth at how much of a novice I am at being able to classify my own beers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Holy shit, that finish to TLC \u2013 Randy Orton just attempted murder on the Fiend, thus furthering the narrative that he\u2019s completely incapable of putting anyone over, and the company remains implicit to his long-standing dominance.\u00a0 Better punish that attempted murder with another title shot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway. \u00a0But the fact that I thought this was a dunkel was to say that I thought it was good.\u00a0 The flavor reminded me of a dunkel since it was kind of toasty, kind of caramel-ly, and not too bitter.\u00a0 But I guess the revelation that it was not a true dunkel crashes its rankings with me, and compared to all the ones above it, it doesn\u2019t bring enough to the table to overtake.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless, it still sits comfortably in the upper half of the biers, and this is one that I wouldn\u2019t mind having more of again in the future should I come across it.\u00a0 After all, I\u2019d only have to look for the bier with the lederhosen in its logo.<\/span><\/p>\n
