My guess would be "Fruit Alcohol Beverage." From the description I guess this is an all natural malt liquor beverage. So why don't they call it an ANMLB?<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the input, and please stick around! My update schedule is rather chaotic but you may have fun. Please feel free to contribute further comments.<BR/><BR/>-BigRutaBigRutahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803433838493019303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12554137.post-1150247321266990382006-06-13T21:08:00.000-04:002006-06-13T21:08:00.000-04:00Thanks for the lambic recommendation.

Here's what i found on PEELS. <A HREF="http://www.progressivegrocer.com/progressivegrocer/profitguides/beer/v2/news/products_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002075464" REL="nofollow"> PEELS </A> is a colorful unique new alcohol beverage made with real fruit juice. PEELS has no preservatives or artificial flavors; it is 100% natural and 100% unique. <BR/>I guess that still doesn't tell us much, but I say try all the alcoholic beverages at least once. <BR/><BR/>LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12554137.post-1150047138128744352006-06-11T13:32:00.000-04:002006-06-11T13:32:00.000-04:00L,I'm glad we were able to get you to try somethin...L,<BR/><BR/>I'm glad we were able to get you to try something new. Lambics are not everyone's cup of tea. Please remember that not all Lambics have fruit in them. I would recommend Lindemans Gueuze. This is traditional Belgian ale. It is kind of like a combination of cider and beer. Refreshing. Give it a try.<BR/><BR/>As far as PEELS goes, I have not been able to find a reference to a beer called PEELS on the net. My guess is that it is an anacronym for the brewery or the distribution company. If you learn any more about it, please drop a comment.<BR/><BR/>-BigRutaBigRutahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803433838493019303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12554137.post-1149868987135293302006-06-09T12:03:00.000-04:002006-06-09T12:03:00.000-04:00I read the lambic article from your post the frida...I read the lambic article from your post the friday before I went to a wine tasting. The wine tasting, much to my suprise, also had beer tasting tables. So when I noticed a bottle that said "lambic" I decided to give it a try. It was Lindeman's Framboise and it was pretty good. I even got a friend to try it. She said it was "fruity for beer" which I guess is a compliment since I didn't think she'd even try it at all. <BR/>I also tried PEELS, which was at one of the beer tables but is apparently neither a beer nor a wine. Tasted like a wine cooler to me. <BR/> LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12554137.post-1149207835243477282006-06-01T20:23:00.000-04:002006-06-01T20:23:00.000-04:00Well, that may be so, but doesn't horizontalness l...Well, that may be so, but doesn't horizontalness lead to spills?BigRutahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803433838493019303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12554137.post-1149128170456459162006-05-31T22:16:00.000-04:002006-05-31T22:16:00.000-04:00The wife and I feel that horizontal tasting is bet...The wife and I feel that horizontal tasting is better!Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07070842675773247914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12554137.post-1148696538748439012006-05-26T22:22:00.000-04:002006-05-26T22:22:00.000-04:00Well well, a wine writer for the New York Times sa...Well well, a wine writer for the New York Times says that wine snobs who look down on beer snobs should try Lambic. Very cool indeed! However, I would say that the barley wine style of beer is the most like wine. Very complex flavors and high alcohol content that mature with age. Not long ago I had a 2005 "vintage" Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barley Wine style ale and it was fantastic! Spicy, complex, full, rich, crisp, everything a great beer should be! I want to try to hunt down some older years and try a vertical tasting!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the heads-up Bibliobabe!
