THIS JOURNEY IS NOW COMPLETE! This was a challenge I undertook from Feb 2011 to Feb 2012. Thanks to everyone that kept me going! Feel free to read through and comment, I am now also periodically adding reviews here as I sample other beers that I did not come across during the challenge.

Duff Beer
Springfield's favourite beer has made it all the way to the shores of Australia (via Germany where this is actually brewed). Now don't lie, I know you've all wanted to sample the soapy suds of our favourite cartoon heroes Homer and Barney. Even though this is likely a marketing ploy, it still stirs up some excitement.
What is it about cartoon food and drink? It always looks tastier than anything that exists in the real world. I remember the pizza on Ninja Turtles used to look like the most delicious shit on the face of the earth.
As I eagerly took a swill of the bottle, I was instantly filled with disappointment. Dreams shattered, expectations battered and bruised.
It's a very strange tasting Euro/Germanic style lager. It's not badly done, everything is in reasonable harmony it's just the flavour is very weird. What you're really getting here is a mainstream German lager that is a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
It's no wonder Moe was always struggling to make ends meet with only this on tap. If this is Duff, I'd hate to taste Fudd.
