Iced Cold Beer - What's your type?


Some claims that there’s nothing as good as a nice hot shower and a good meal, followed by the sound of TV at the end of the day. But some may feel that, an iced cold beer after a hard day at work would do a much better work. There are many types of people who enjoy their leisure times in their very own way, but today we will be focusing on a topic that a beer enthusiast would love. Today, we will be talking about Beer, and this topic will continue for the next two days as well. So, either you are a Beer lover or not much of a fan, this article will serve you equally. Shall we start then? Here we go!



People who are not much of a fan of beers, but willing to try, well you can start with this Estrella Damm (Spain)- ABV: 4.6%. Euro Pilsner: Pilsner is a type of pale lager, and the name has been derived from the city of Pilsen in Czech Republic. This might be the youngest beer style in the world; Pilsner produces a pure, pale brew. It has little kick that somehow will reduce rapidly with high carbonation that kicks in later. There’s only a small hint of malt, making it a light drink that are not too overwhelming. You can throw a party with this and still attend a job interview tomorrow.



Another type of beer for the people for is not a big fan is, Taiwan Mango Beer with only 2.8% of ABV. It is a beer brewed with fruit adjunct (cherry, raspberry and peach are common) or flavoring. Of course, this is a very simple beer, and tastes exactly like mango. Also, you can taste a faint hint of caramel, as well as tiny hint of bitterness if concentrate in your drinking. Otherwise, this is just a sweet, frothy, fruit pour. Beer enthusiast would not be interested at this, but shandy drinkers would definitely love it!  



You can also go ahead and try Anderson Valley Summer Solstice Seasonal Ale (United States) with the ABV of 5%.The style of this beer is cream ale, and originated from the American light lager style, cream ales are sometimes finished with lager yeast or lager beer mixed in. The Summer Solstice attracts instant lovers or haters almost immediately. However this can be a great start for beer novices. All the flavours are very light; subtle hints of burnt sugar and apples make this a very cool, refreshing summer drink. 



Last but not least, you can also try Timmermans Framboise Lambic (Belgium) with ABV of 4%. This fruit lambic, which is made using the spontaneous fermentation method, has added natural raspberry flavouring. The colour of ripe raspberries; this reddish pink brew has a thin, beige head with light. The nose is dominated by a syrupy mix of cherry, raspberry and berry jam that verges on artificial. This is also a great try that you can try as well!   


So, tomorrow we will be seeing beers that are suitable for moderate beer drinkers, make sure you don’t miss it! Have a good evening guys!

DURIAN- THE KING OF FRUITS



When durian season is just around the corner, it’s easy to spot durian lovers stopping by the roadsides and enjoying their share for durians. There are only 2 types of people in durian terms. It’s either you love it or despise it. I am a fan, but my boyfriend is not. That’s cool, you know why? Because there will be MORE FOR ME! So, today I’m going to share with you on the right ways to buy the right kind of durians, and not the wrong kinds. So, if you are a noob just like me in selecting durians, you should really check this out!

STEP 1:  Check the weight
  •        Make sure that the durian that you choose the light ones, not the heavy ones. Because the light ones indicates ripe durians. So avoid heavy durians peeps!


STEP 2: Listen to the sound
  •         Give the durian a nice shake and listen to the sound wait for “hollow noise”. That’s the noise we are waiting for because they simply means they have ripe and has thick flesh of durian waiting for you to devour! Remember to wear gloves though.


STEP 3: Smell the durian
  •        A good durian has strong smell. So you know it’s good when it hits your nostrils with overpowering smell of durian!


STEP 4: What is the correct way to open a durian?
  •          To open a durian, cut along its seams. If you cannot find the seams on the durian surface cut off the tip of the durian to make the seams visible!
  •          Make a V-shaped cut on the seams to open the durian and enjoy the king of fruits!


So now you have mastered the skill of selecting a fine durian as well as opening them in the right ways. Here’s a little tips for those who are a fan of durians but easily suffer from heat after enjoying a little too much of those golden goodness. All you got to do is just add some salt and water into the empty husk of durian and drink ‘em up! The salt water can help to reduce the heat of our body. Also, the strong smell of durian sometimes sticks to your hands even after you have washed your hands. Use the water that flows through the durian husk to get rid of the smell. Enjoy devouring your share of durians people! See you soon!
