so though the winner is I forgot
Greek a beer challenge we have a fix we have a mythos they are up against one of
the biggest lagers in the world Heineken we're going home for a blind
tasting I won't know which one is which and we're gonna see if the Greek lagers
are as good as what people say
fix and mythos are the Greek duo up against an international Titan in Heineken
truth is, this was the only one left on the shelf that I think can compete with
these two now mythos was a recommendation on Instagram from Kirsty
thank you so much and Food and Footprints gave a big shout out to fix
saying that was their favorite as well so yeah I'm gonna find out which one
today is truly the best lager Bek's going do her best to disguise these
three so that I have no idea what one I'm drinking - I haven't worked at how I'm doing
that yet mmm we'll see what she does, she's pretty creative so I'm sure
she'll come up with something so crack yourself a beer and join me as we test
these out
we're ready to drink some beer guys we have it looks like an ABC system and I
have no idea what Bek's just put in front of me now I wasn't 100% sure what I
should be looking for so I've googled it and I found something
that I think can help us how to taste beer like a pro here's a summary from
keg works how to taste beer like a pro one look two swirl three smell four drink
and five taste so there we go I think that's pretty easy let's just get going
let's do this alright so beer A I probably didn't pour it like a pro but
anyway alright pour I'm looking at it now another thing I found on Google is
it said crisp that's what you're looking for with a good lager a crisp beer it's
quite sharp and you know not cloudy so it looks beautiful I did do a little
swirl smells alright
Oh, it's good
hmm
it's good like it's really hard to describe a lager try and do a lager at
home yourself and describe the flavor notes I think you know you can't
overcook it there's not too many flavors going on it is clean there is this sort
of aftertaste that I'm just not a hundred percent sure about so like for
me A is good I could drink a stack of these and get used to that flavor but
I'm gonna give it seven hops seven hops or seven stars I have no idea I will
just try it a little bit more of this to make sure let's just check maybe my
palate was confused the other thing I've noticed for this quite bubbly that you
know there's definitely some fizz in there I'm sticking with my seven seven
hops alright B let's crack open B
when I was 18 I actually traveled the world with a mate back in Australia and
we went everywhere but we went to Amsterdam and I just channeled something
when I poured that beer I was very clumsy and I poured the beer with lots
of head and that's what they do in Amsterdam it just reminded me of
Heineken because Heineken the home of Heineken is Amsterdam and I just felt
that, feeling Heineken, haven't tasted it, that's just on looks, let's see what
it tastes like there's a swirl that's a swell not really it smells like lager
hmm I don't know if it's Heineken to be honest I don't really know in my head
anymore what Heineken is because I drank most of
that beer now I've drunk most of this beer before I sort of started talking so
I don't know if it's Heineken I don't think it is but hang on a second cue the
uplifting music Bek Bek yeah uplifting music yeah beautiful cue that uplifting
music because this one tastes smooth and wait for it crisp it is crisp and that's
what we were supposed to look for so I'm pretty happy with B I really hope is
actually not Heineken now I'm hoping this is one of the Greek beers cuz yeah
I'm like in love with Greece right now by the way that's a whole other video
just a little bit more to check I know what this beer tastes like actually it
tastes like I'm not going to work tomorrow a good 7 out of 10 and B B mmm
I'm thinking... I'm such a harsh mark, 9 hops. Nah, eight and a half eight and a half
hops out of ten it's a lager okay see here we go, I really hope - because you
know with food in Greece it just gets better and better
I'm hoping it's just gonna get better and better with the drinks mmm
there's no logic in that for anyway let's pour this well again
I'm getting a lot of head so now I'm thinking what this can be Heineken
basically any beer with head could be Heineken in my eyes
all right A was bubbly so maybe, I might have to pour a bit more of A I feel like
if it was Heineken I'd have more head okay
this looks good probably drinking three pints in 15 minutes by the time I'm done
with these it'll be about 15 minutes and yeah I probably we'll just see I'm not
tipsy yet
yeah now, like I know I keep talking about Heineken, I feel like Heineken's
over there this one was very smooth, B was smooth - that is a smooth
operator I'm sort of thinking it's somewhere... I'm jumping all over the place
aren't I? I'm bloody hopeless at this beer tasting thing all right I'm not
gonna go back to A or B I'm just gonna focus on C, what am i tasting with C?
I just taste carbonation if that's a word
Carbon probably is also a word but it's not the right word it's bubbly this one
bubbly there I've broken it down into small bite-sized words I'm not
what's that word when you join other words adjective? descriptive word
that's a descriptive word I think that's what I'm channeling with this is good
beer good it is crisp they're all crisp how do you tell the difference this is
that sort of flavor with this one I really hope you're not Greek I guess
probably what I'm saying guys C is one-dimensional in flavor
I'm really sorry for whatever company this is it's just like one dimensional
one dimensional mmm that's the best way to describe it all right I'm pretty much
done with the tasting one quick refresher
mmm good on you B
isn't it funny how your palate changes suddenly A is pretty good oh I think you
C a score Oh No okay I completely forgot
okay I'm sorry actually this has only been about ten minutes I've almost downed
the three pints so it's starting to catch up
C, C - six out of ten so the winner is I forgot. B! B is the winner B got an
eight and a half out of ten we have a seven out of ten that a and we have six
out of ten nothing got a ten out of ten I'm saving the ten out of ten for craft
beer we'll try craft beer at some other stage
I think we need to reveal which one was the winner I have zero idea but I choose
B (please don't be Heineken)
it doesn't mean that I'm not gonna finish these off I'm finishing them off
so B was the crisp beer tasted the smoothest C was a little bit harsh very
very harsh actually an A was enjoyable it just was a bit bubbly I think I
remember that all pretty correctly what are they it's like Christmas morning
trying to find out what B is which is open it. Yeah all right we've all been waiting
please don't be Heineken oh it says something about Hellenic it's some sort of
Greek beer all right Mythos congratulations Mythos hey opa!
all right great beer wins and what absolutely it
wins I knew that all along it's delicious
this one is a very close second there's really not much in it if someone bought
some beer to this a big cook up just anyway beer bring a carton, lots of beer and
bring A my party it is all right hey guys I guarantee you, like I promise
you hand on heart and even if you don't believe me believe her did I
no no I didn't fix this it's a myth-stery I'm sorry that was really bad I didn't
fix this but I have to say they taste good and yes I did recognize a little
bit I'll drink them all taste the second
place love. Actually that's pretty good
mmm it's too late to call it a draw isn't it? It's too late we are gonna say
