Paradigm Angst - July 3rd, 2009

2003
clearer, actually very clear. wouldn't even peg it as a wheat beer
less carbonated
more malt aroma (munich, spiced rum)
much more prune flavor, this is the main flavor in the beer
banana and clove are almost gone
no alcohol flavor at all

2009
cloudier
more carbonated
fruitier aroma (banana)
Clove and banana flavors well balanced with prune flavor in the background
alcohol is just slightly more prevalent in that you can just barely there in the background
spilled on my netbook keyboard. After 20 minutes of touch and go forced rebooting the system seems to be working fine right now other than the built in mouse which no longer works. We will see if any other problems come up as we move along. Well its a few min later and we have occasional freezing if I try to use the mouse.

Both
Despite differences in apparent carbonation levels they both have the same mouth feel.

Winner: Even with the beer spilling the 2009 wins. It is a much better balanced beer. Though it may become the most expensive beer I have ever had.
Mari disagrees and says that 2003 is more balanced because the flavors don't compete. Also says that banana is there in 2003 but it takes a little while for it to build up.

The netbook will be replaced in a few weeks with a new netbook. It will replace my 5 year old amd 64 system which will have slackware installed on it and become a server for my gnu screen session that will be my main system and the new netbook will become a windows based dumb terminal with flash, aka exactly what this netbook (palsu) is now.

I am taking names for the new system. Naming scheme is based on "fake". Words that mean fake or copy in various languages. Names that can't be used because they have been used for systems in the past are faux, pseudo, proxy, fugazi, betrug, facsimile, mentiroso and unreal[123] (routers).
