the beers of FUTENMA: Coedo Ruri Pils

This is the second Coedo I found, unfortunately Aeon didn't carry any more. The bottle looks just like the kyara, but blue. Not much to say, it's a pilsner and we'll see how it is. Let's pour it into the super traditional Orion mug.

Nose from the bottle is malty, maybe even salty. It has allot of white fluffy head, with opaque orange color (I know I said that about the other one, but it's true for this one too, except for the head). from the mug, it has a much more barley nose but with that same salty scent. It's sour, not rotten sour, meant to be sour. Color turns to a cloudy golden when I hold it up to my desk light, maybe the orange color is just the wood from the furniture. Allot of the guys on Rate Beer say it has starchy qualities, on which I concur. I usually disregard most of what is said in peoples beer reviews, it tends to be hoity-toity nonsense, but sometimes other people have ways of explaining flavors and textures that I would not have thought of myself, and starchy is one of them. It his a medium bodied beer with little acidity. It's a little bit more hoppy than I would expect from a pilsner, it tastes like a regular lager.


I'm afraid work has taken up the majority of my time, I haven't been able to take in allot of culture, or read much for that mater. I still read the news every day, but I still find it a nightmare to find news stories that aren't boring, have a nauseatingly liberal or conservative slant, or are just opinion pieces. And when you go online and try and find anything that is truly unbiased, everything anyone suggests turns out to have some sort of extreme bias that the suggester doesn't notice (I suggest because they are of the same mind). So far, the only truly trustworthy sources I can find are Reuters and the Associated Press. Sometimes "The Independant" has some good stuff, but I'm still undecided about them. If you want local American news, Fox tends to be the only really good source. If you want national or international, you have to go with an international agency, like Reuters and the Associated Press. Although, I also find Vice news and Vox are good sources on YouTube. Unfortunately, Vice's documentaries tend to be a little slow in coming out and can have a very liberal slant in terms of opinion, although they usually treat everyone fairly and hear out all sides of an issue without demonizing one side because they don't totally agree. Vox has a goal of "explaining the news", an admiral goal to be sure. But while the focus is on giving the facts surrounding a story, it is the facts interpenetrated by someones opinion, and for the sake of simplicity, there generally is not a great deal of conflicting opinions.
This was an alright beer, pilsners aren't my thing, but I did enjoy drinking this one. I don't think I would seek it out again, but I would certainly get one if it were readily available.
