Classic Brewing Co Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Well a quick trip to Dan Murphy's & there is the Goat on special for 12.95, can't argue with that. It's pretty cheap drinking until I keg my Pale Ale. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiekraut Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Advent calendar, day 7: Flemm, a Flanders Red by Bent Spoke Brewing. Now this is a tasty beer. It's got all the hallmarks that make a nice Flanders Red. Love it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kegory Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Pirate Life California Pale Ale It's alright but not as good as their Pale Ale, IMO. White Rabbit Hoppy Ale This one is a bit of a mystery. It was in the discount trolley at Dan's but it doesn't appear on the White Rabbit website in either their current or past beers. Nice at the price. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Advent Calendar, day 8: Organic Table Beer by Wildflower Brewing. This is an interesting one. It has this nice farmhouse feel to it. At 2.9% ABV, it is also quite smashable. I've had it before in a mixed pack and was quite happy to see it again. I'm glad the no-frills vibe of the can doesn't extend to the content It is a little gassy but. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiekraut Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Advent calendar, Day 9. Summercloud Hazy Pale Ale by Jervis Bay Brewing. It’s hazy, it’s a pale ale. Not a bad beer at all but the oats are a little dominant in this one. Oats are a funny beast. I love them in a stout or a porter but in pale ales, I think they can be rather overpowering. Sometimes, less is more I say. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennyss Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 My sister and her partner had brought back a mixed 1/2 doz tins from the Tinshed Brewery in Dungog NSW for my father to enjoy, but a whole tin is too much for him in one go. My father and I shared a Munich Dunkel It was very smooth and malty - yummy! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like pretty decent beer Jenny, trying new beers also gives you incentive to try & replicate the styles you enjoy yourself. I looked up the brewery, it looks like they are doing OK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or sometimes you get a beer where you say yes…but. If you manage to address the but and come up with something you think is how it should be, it is very rewarding 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you manage to address the but and come up with something you think is how it should be, it is very rewarding It can even start when you try a nice IPA with using hops you have never tried before, I did when I first tried Eclipse, since then I have made several IPA's soley using them, usually 60-100gms. It takes a bit of researching but you can usually find something that is worthy of a try. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just a smashing beer - really beautiful. I really enjoy the aroma and the flavour Eclipse brings to the party. Just an overwhelming smack of fruitiness in every sip. Got one lined up for Xmas day. Woohoo! Edited December 11, 2023 by Tricky Micky 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got one lined up for Xmas day. Woohoo! I would definitely agree with that Mick, I love Eclipse Hops & I have used them several times in the FWK, a few styles Pale/IPA/XPA & they always shine through. Of course, Citra & many others are nice too. The CB Eclipse IPA All Grain Kit is also exceptional also, just great out of the keg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Advent calendar, day 10: Passion Project, a passion fruit gose by Hawkers Brewing. Quite strong for a gose and it does lack the saltiness of the style but it is very easy to drink. I like it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) Advent calendar, day 11. QDH Hazy Fouble IPA by Aether Brewing. I guess QDH means quadruple dry hopped? Nice stone fruit aromas and flavours but they’re offset by the “sharpness” of the oats and the overall bitterness of the DIPA. Ok beer for the occasional drinker but not my fave. Plus the 8.8% ABV are a bit of a deterrent. Edited December 11, 2023 by Aussiekraut 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I got the Beer Cartel Advent Calendar, but I am a bit behind in posting the results because I was a bit incommunicado last week on a houseboat holiday on the Murray River out of Mildura. Plus I got pretty crook half way through the trip, and only catching up with things now. Beer Cartel Advent Calendar, day 1 - Spotty Dog Brewing - Double West Coast IPA Consumed at my brother's in Horsham Nice hoppy aromas Strong bitterness, but not overpowering Good bold flavour Beer Cartel Advent Calendar, day 2 - Mountain Culture - Esky in the Boot Nice tropical aromas Smooth flavour and bitterness Alcohol nicely restrained Beer Cartel Advent Calendar, day 3 - New England Brewing Co - Dapper Special Bitter Subdued caramel and toffee notes with a hint of roast The can says "Tastes like crusty bread" which is so true Nice smooth bitterness Clubhouse leader to date - 8/10 Beer Cartel Advent Calendar, day 4 - Yulli's Brews - Smoked Mango Chilli Sour I know it sounds weird, but what an excellent beer Decidedly smoky aroma Not too much sour flavour, but lifted by the chilli at the back of the throat The mango is noticeable too Surprisingly little smoky flavour given the strong aroma New clubhouse leader 9/10 Beer Cartel Advent Calendar, day 5 - Blackmans - Citra Cryo Pale Ale Loads of carbonation As expected, plenty of oranges and lemons aroma Less punchy flavour, more layered Mild bitterness A good Pale Ale 7/10 After this brew, but not from this brew, I got sick, so will have to catch up over the next few days. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Beer Cartel Advent Calendar, day 11 - Akasha Project - Hop Alone - Single Hop Pale Ale Citrus and tropical aromas Orange rind flavour that lingers The bitterness seems to parallel the orange rind flavour in intensity More than a decent Pale Ale 7.5/10 Back to the boring at home photo background 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Beer Cartel Advent Calendar, day 6 (on day 11) - Deeds Brewing - Eight Maids A-Milking - Oat Cream IPA Penetrating mango/pineapple aroma Complex flavour Smooth front-end Mango fruit flavour Sweet/creaminess Leads into citrus notes Bitter citrus rind-like aftertaste 8.5/10 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wanted to do the Mighty Muzza houseboat trip. How'd your cruise go? (apart from feeling crook midway thru). I'm so sorry to hear that you were sick along the way mate, hope all is okay now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
