I might shout myself a pack for the long weekend Have many of you tried this apart from Stquinta ? Nearly got one today, maybe next time. With Sydney weather being atrocious I went for the dark ones. My god this one is bitter, not sure about it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I just pinched one of the cans my neighbour brings over but never gets around to opening, he usually ends up with a neckful of beers out of the tap & I am always opening bottles of something, so I figure he won't miss it too bad if he does There is a distinct difference in the new look label design & I think it looks great. Oh, the beer is not bad either. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 All three are well made beers, but one was far too sweet, one far too bitter and one I really enjoyed. Have a guess. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brauhaus Fritz Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 After sharing this one with my wife I take everything back I said about Schneider Weisse. Maybe the bottle I had was “faulty”, it was soooo active bubbling. This one here only has one word, WOW 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a guess. @Brauhaus Fritz BF mate I am going Hook Norton... Porter... sweetness from the caramel malts? And I sorta think the poms are more into that malty thing and not afraid if a little bit sweeter? Hook Norton Brewery... classic old pommy Brewery - vaguely remember imbibing some Old Hooky at some pub in the Midlands - but back then I really was a bit of a failure in appreciating English Beer... Kozel Czech... Ripper: I did drink some black beer in Prague a long time ago and ate some good solid tucker in some downstairs cellar type Wirtschaft and I remember the beer being good... balanced, süffig and when I was there, remarkably priced, well... especially if you changed your westy currency on the street and not with the State run Bank So that leaves Bitterness to poor old Barock? But I have been completely wrong many times before. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that everyone has different taste buds and preferences so my judgement is only what I experienced in that particular moment of time, ha,ha. Maybe the order I drank them in had its role as well. My favorite was the Weltenburger Kloster, another well balanced Beer from Bavaria. It was part of my German Beer Pack from the Cartel and deserved its place next to Schneider, Weihenstephan and Maisel's. The next day was perfect Dark Beer weather and I had the Twelve Days Original Porter, which for me was far too bitter. Expecting a smooth sweet malty beer (it wasn't sweet at all) the harsh bitterness was overpowering, not a bitterness from hops but a taste of burned coffee/over roasted grains, pity, with a bit softer taste it would be a great beer. Then I got exited to try something from the other side of the Fichtel Mountains. Driving as a kid from Berlin to the North of Bavaria (Franconia) I was always exited to see the sign for the turnoff to Praha (Prag) on the East German Autobahn, the mystery place behind the Iron Curtain. My god was it sweet, it reminded me of Malz Bier (non alcoholic malt beer we drank as kids in the past). Maybe I have to try the last two in reverse order. Speaking of Bavaria, I gonna watch now Bayern München vs. Leverkusen. Love my Bundesliga 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I had a look on their website, it sounds like from the description the hops used could be Galaxy or Citra or even Mosaic. Coopers use Pride of Ringwood in their commercial Pale Ale.

Hey Philter, yes its a popular craft brand here, been going for quite some years. The pale ale is 4 % very fruity amd easy sipping. They have a lager, IPA, etc too. Their beers are found at most good establishments on tap. I actually sent them a message once, they use American as well as South African hops 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I started brewing again I slurped a few of these... they used to be like $47 for a carton of 24x500... guess that is a while ago now I found a German Durry Butt packed in underneath the cans one time... the Brewery Canning Packaging Crew musta thought us aussies needed educating in their brands of filthy durries? They are not my fave but they are a good honest Reinheitsgebot Beer 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmar92 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Spotted the Shepherd Neame Kentish Strong Ale at Dans so grabbed a couple. It does not disappoint. Deep copper hue, fruity on the nose and perfectly carbonated. Quite a malty backbone to this ale with slight biscuity taste. Good bitterness that complements the fruity taste. Excellent drop, tossing up which is better between Shepherd Neame's IPA and this Strong Kentish Ale they are both great, but for me possibly the IPA has the edge. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
