the beers of FUTENMA: part 9 Monchshof Landbier

Today we have one of the last Monchshofs from that pack. It is a landbier, and I am looking forward to drinking it. According to the interwebs, landbier translates to "country beer" and is typically a dark beer with mild hopps, and seems to me to be exactly what I need after a long day. So without further adue...

The beer spits at me a little when I open it. It has a light nose which is hard to suss out from the bottle. I have a sip...and it tastes exactly like their lager. I had another sip to confirm and what I found was that I could not differentiate between my memory of the Monchshof lager and this beer. Lets pour it into the super traditional Orion mug and see if the head is different.

as you can see it heads a great deal, and the head stays around for quite a while. Kind of picturesque really. It still has almost no nose, its like the incredible scentless beer. It's maybe slightly more hoppy than the lager, but the difference is trivial.I will say one thing for it, it is easy to pour down you're throat. I would really liken this to Guinness blonde, it's an easy to drink pale lager. Although Guinness blonde is an "American lager", a term Anheuser Busch came up with to market "Budweiser" to simple patriotic folk who don't know any better than to associate our country with an inferior beer. Also a "Budweiser" is a beer that comes from the city of Budějovice in the Czech republic, Anheuser Busch trademarked the name in 1876 in the United States so everything brewed in Budejovice that gets imported into the US has to be called Czechvar. But anyway, Guinness took their BS beer style and made a superior one, so thanks again you sons of Eire.
But that's it for the landbeir, it's kind of just a general purpose beer, and not dark like I was expecting.
