The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

The Best beer

Which beers my dears bring you to tears

Beardy weirdy freaks hipster peaks & nadirs

Slatted bar with glam flutes or bizarre jam jar

Cheers to toots & hoots hirsute tatted peers 


Sham craze for cloudy ales or clear yesteryear pales

Old school IPA mule or cool daze ways holds sway 

Some fools viral spools spiral amaze as they drool 

Not a phase always had haze it's the cardinal rule


Or a silly quip & blip has a nip of a chilli dip in it 

Knows zip flip let rip Indian trip phrase you twit 

Gawking and balking because they're talking s**t


All about malty pout haughty clout of a naughty stout

Cooed am a lamb to the slaughter for rip snorter porter

Wooed by stock of stellar Bock or cellar brewed Keller 

Wheat poo pooed too funkily sweet for this crude fella


Rude taking the mick trick to pick a drop in perfect nick

Chaps won't cower to the lure of cocktails at happy hour

Ruddy cheeked fuddy duddy who is perhaps too dour


Appears fake dreams it seems of a career as a critic

Slating grating ratings mapped trapped on untappd  

Skeptic fears musty skunk & fusty funk that is lambic


Brett regret bristles don't fret won't let whet my whistle

Sneers debunk the rusty gunk flower glower of sour

Jeers but bet the ripple of Tripel is still the top tipple 

For any cynic or pundit in their Merchant Ivory tower


Hail tale of quirky murky or another stale lager saga

Heaven forbid get rid of sweet & sickly treat for a kid 

Snooty about the booty of rank dank stank too fruity

For fecks sake must forsake that milkshake mistake


If tasked or someone asked what's my perfect beer?

Not the new frontier..bask in cask ...holy grail of ale

Suggest zest from noble not global hops treasure chest 


Attest not treason manifest reason better than the rest 

Beer to pleasure every season that stalled then schooled

What is after all the true quest & have you got a clue test

Which is why I contest you go with the one called "Best"
