Aussiekraut Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 And another one, this time a Rogue by Dead Man Ale. Ironically, it is a Maibock style beer, hence a lager. Not bad at all and while lager tasting, it feels more ale...I kinda like it. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchBastard Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 @Shamus O'Sean love a stomping ground anything when I can get some up ere on the Goldy. The pale in the green can and the purple ipa are great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I treat myself to a bottle or three every now and then. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) The last sample from yesterday's visit to First Choice. I'm not the biggest fan of NEIPAs but this isn't bad. Nice texture but it smells fruitier than it is. Bitter but not overbearing. Quite drinkable, although not my fave.

Hilltop hops Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Grabbed one of these for the footy tonight. My favourite NEIPA. At 12 bucks a can it's a reminder that I need to get another hazy going. Go the Cats! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiekraut Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) This was one yummy drop. Not cheap at $11 though. Need to go recipe hunting I guess... Edited July 11, 2020 by Aussiekraut 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion. I’m the other way round....had an xpa the other night that someone left in me fridge. Ended up tipping the last quarter of the can. the NS pale is usually fairly decent...although i havnt had it in a while as I normally go for their IPA which is great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Saison Dupont - The one and only I have been wanting to try one of these since, maybe it was @The Captain!!, pointed them out. I got a mixed slab from a supplier in Sydney, who felt sorry for us Victorians heading into lockdown a few weeks ago, and advertised free delivery. Aroma: Slight fruitiness Bit like stewed plums Maybe rock melon Flavour: Good bitterness Robust taste, not what I expected when others call it funky Smooth creamy mouthfeel Fine, thin, but lingering head This is a great beer. Most definitely not for the mega-swill drinkers. 6.5% ABV but so easy to drink. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t find it as funky as some of the other saisons around but I think that’s what makes this one all that more enjoyable. I treat myself to a bottle every couple of months now I’ve found a place that stocks it fairly locally. I still want to be able to replicate this one at a more favourable ABV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially liked the smooth mouthfeel of the Saison Dupont. I might have to do a bit of research to find out how they get it. The ABV did wash into me by the time the glass was empty. Half a dozen of these would put a horse to sleep. I have only done a couple of Saisons and I really liked them too. Although they were a bit rougher than the Dupont. Unfortunately I think they were a source of diastaticus in a number of subsequent beers. Getting rid of that from my bottles took weeks and I chucked the two plastic Coopers fermenters I had been using. If I do them again, I will be dedicating a fermenter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always clean out my fermenters and bottles with a iodine based sanitiser now due to that reason and haven’t had an issue since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Knew he had to chime in there at some point. Benny makes superb higher alcohol beers I must admit. You just gotta slow it down a little. Or have two on the go at once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Fruh - Kolsch Good hop aroma. Crisp bitterness. Malty flavour. Could drink all day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Kaiju Beer - Demon Cleaner This one's not going to be popular with some because it is anti-canines. Not sure why. Aroma peppery, piney, some spice, a little fruity Smooth flavour. Not dominated by bitterness at all. Similar spicy flavour to the aroma. 7.6% ABV, but you would not know.

Hilltop hops Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Hazy Pale at the Uraidla Hotel and a mixed 4 pack for tonight. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Kaiju - Paradise Pils Looks like a pale, but it is a lager with the Kaiju twist Hop aroma from Citra and Amarillo Crisp bitterness combined with a citrus flavour. Noticeable hop flavour. Malt is pretty subtle. These guys make interestingly good beers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Corner Brewing Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Went to Range Brewing after work last night and they had a nitro breakfast stout on tap so I had to give it a go. Gent serving said I might be lucky to get one as they keg is about to blow and it’s the last keg of it, but he managed to get one out. The thing was a meal. Massive silky smooth mouthfeel which could only be attributed to the nitro in combination with oats and probably some lactose there which left a nice sweetness. Aroma of chocolate and coffee which carried into the taste. Strangest thing was the finish wasn’t that heavy and definitely left me wanting more, but by then I noticed a glass hanging off the tap So going to have to do some research into that one! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
