#14: Steel Reserve
Steel Reserve
Miller brands
American
This is the strongest beer on the list and strongest I’ve tried so far. Coming in at a 8.1% alcohol content, this one is significantly higher than the others which top out at about 5.1%. This takes on Molson when it comes to alcohol content. But, unlike Molson, this beer’s taste if far more refined IMO. Whereas Molson slaps your tongue with each sip, Steel reserve is surprisingly smooth for such a strong beer. Even after it has warmed up to room temperature it remained relatively smooth. The beer itself has hints of very mild citrus notes and fairly smooth for a strong beer. This also works fast at getting you toasty fast, ergo it’s a great starter beer. I don’t know if I’d drink this later on in night, after much drinking, as it is a heavy beer, both, calorie and alcohol wise. I definitely would try this again. All the panelists including me found this to be better than Molson.
I also like the name of this beer; Steel reserve. It’s just a cool name for a strong beer. Selling a product is as much about imagery as it is the actual content. Steel reserve is a powerful name, evocative of a seasoned, grisly, guy with a distinguishing beard who is all man all the time…you know, the type you wanted to be until you ended up at a desk job where the only manly thing you do is fix the paper jam in the copier for a dimwitted co-worker. Steel is always cool. It’s a tenacious metal, unlike you, who folds like a lawn chair at the smallest sight of adversity. Even the can is cool looking. I am amazed this beer isn’t endorsed by Chuck Norris
