Oppigårds Spring Ale
A 330ml bottle, 4,6%, best before 2009 06, tasted at 2009 04 25.
Pores a white head, that laces nicely, and a golden amber body.
A fresh hoppy and citrus aroma arises from this brew.
The taste follows along the same lines fresh, hoppy, citrus and pine.
A refreshing session ale, not heavy, but with more enouth to make it worth while. 3.7 /5
A quick tip, about the science network, that have a long list of talks with interesting people, overlaps with TED talks but these are longer and more in depth. This is a must if you like to hear fascinating people talk about the subjects they burn for, of if you like to get new interesting things to pounder.
A remake of the classic Death Race 2000 directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and staring Jason Statham.
Death Race is just what one would expect when mixing those three, namely a above average action movie, with a lot of vehicle carnage.
Nils Oscar Barley Wine
Bottle 330 ml, best before 2014 03, tasted at 2008 01 13.
Light golden red coloured body, the white head dissipates quickly.
A sweet, fruity aroma.
The taste is also sweet and fruity, light bitterness, some alcohol but not disturbingly so. Overall the beer is light for it’s style.
It will be interesting to see(taste) what a couple of years will do to this beer.

There is a unfortunate trend among sites, that centres around user created/collected data, to bee very protective about there database. To the degree that they prevent, or at least don’t help, the users to use there data in other contexts.
The latest one I heard user grumble about is BeerAdvocate, a beer community site that centres around user committed beer reviews. As a user commits more reviews a lot of use full statistics become available, for example it is a well established fact that we humans don’t really know what we want, if asked about right. So it is perfectly feasible that one think that one style of beer is ones favourite, but one keeps giving a other style better reviews.
As fellow Swedish beer geek bark noted, there is unfortunately no easy way to export the raw data one has putt in to there system. The problem bark was trying to solve was the simple question, have I had this beer before, if so was it any good. As BA provides a nice tables with all reviews of a user, it was a simple matter of parsing the tables in to more useful formats.
30 minutes later I now have a BA review list exporter, now what? Oh well at least it was time more well spent than watching the tube.
And if any one whant a cvs (or what not) with there reviews, just drop me a line.
Sin City is one of the best, if no the best, comic based movies i have seen. Even discarding the comic aspect, it is a solid action/thriller, Well worth the renting fee.
Its a okey movie, considering it based on a children’s story, witch shows at times. The robot vs robot fighting scenes, is not all that bad if you are in to that kaind of things.
Unfortunately this is only true if you take of your science hat, and mine some how slipped back on.
Spoilers ahead
Deborah Gordon, talks about her research in to how ant know what to do. It turns out that the answer is, as many other evolved things, a set of simple roles that gives a result that is good enough.
This is my sixth post, on interesting TED talks.
Outsourced by R. J. Hillhouse
A good spy thriller that is really interesting because of were it takes place; among the mercenary company’s in Iraq. with the added real news clipping in the beginning of most chapters it is obvious that Hillhouse wants to raise awareness about the many contractors running around doing military operations. In stead of the military witch at least partly is responsible for its actions.
Over all a good read I recommend it to any one who likes spy thrillers, the style is similar to Tom Clancy’s.
Black Jack Porter from Left Hand
335 ml Bottle
Pours a dark brown almost orange color or reddish mahogany, with a small head.
Light aroma of chocolate.
A nice chocolate taste, width some sweetness and roasted malt, a bitter and dry finish.
A nice beer, a bit light for a porter, but very drinkable.
