Thanks @Hoppy81 I called in to Fasina Liquor & picked up the 4 x 500ml pack & free glass, no Soccer Balls left so I scored an extra glass (which I really need🤣

It is a nice Pilsner, very easy to drink. They are pretty decent glasses too.

Hahaha, add it to the other 576 glasses you have Phil. Good drop hey and I agree, great glass.

And now for something full of flavour, this is fast becoming one of my favourites, I have an All-Grain kit to knock up so I must hop to it.

How do you get all grain kits for the Cooper's beers Phil? I've only seen extracts and the small packs of specialty grains in the store.

It is not actually a Coopers recipe; I didn't want to promote the brand on this site for obvious reasons, but it will be very similar.

There are a few Coopers ingredients, grain etc. but a bit of a mixed bag.

Hawkers Experimental Series: Trio of Dips

Basically it's the same beer, the point of difference between the three is where the Cascade hops were grown: New Zealand; the United Kingdom; the United States.

This is a serious test of my beers assessment skills. I can barely separate the UK & US versions (if I didn't know they were different I doubt I could tell) but the NZ version tastes and smells slightly more fruitier to me though I still think I'd struggle in a blind test.

Visually there is a noticeable difference in head retention and lacing which I wasn't expecting.

Some years ago I tried a Shiraz infused/flavoured beer (Pepper jack, I think). I had my doubts which were confirmed. This one's a variety of white (not my forte and difficult to read). This one works a bit better but it's still not my bag. I'm not Robinson Crusoe here, I picked it out of the bargain bin.
