I have set myself the goal to review three beers or ciders every week for 100 weeks. I will be learning about beer and ciders more as I do this, and if I am successful in this venture, I will have tried about 300 unique drinks. If you're curious how I'm doing, the number in the post's title tells you which week I am in now.

| Banshee Lager, Irish Red Ale, Big Eddy |
While I was in Branson, I ran across a store named Macadoodles. Upon entering, I realized that despite an Irish name they clearly specialized in wine even though they had a decent selection of other alcohols. Imagine my surprise to discover that they also had their own Macadoodles's themed beers. I only found two though. Since I needed one more beer to go with them for this post, I chose Big Eddy, an unusual Leinenkugel's. As an added bonus, I have only recently connected that the names rhyme.
Banshee Lager) Not bad. A decent lager, but isn't as smooth as others that I've had. Also, I suspect that this is how it got the Banshee part of the name as there is a background of bitterness to it. ☆☆☆
Red Irish) Harsh and vinegary. In short, my bottle might have been past the expiration date. Did not enjoy. ☆
Big Eddy) Sweet and complex. This beer lacks that touch of harshness that I've encountered in most other barley wines. The finish blossoms with an array of melted flavors leaving you only with a pleasant rye lingering. As previously mentioned, despite the strong flavors, this beer finishes smooth. ☆☆☆☆
