Shamus O'Sean Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 The Coastal Brewing Co - Resilience Pale Ale Fresh mild hop aroma. Good bitterness level, malty flavour. Good honest Aussie Pale Ale. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Kaiju Beer - Cthulhu Black IPA Tropical aroma. Tiniest bit of roastiness and smokiness. Appropriate IPA bitterness, plus a bit of roastiness that suits the IPA style. Nice fine bubbles, producing a fine head that persists. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oranges, pineapple, lemon. Really bitter taste. Still drooling though. Zesty on the tongue. A sipping beer fur shur. I REALLY like that one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Nomad Brewing Co - Rosie's Raspberry Sour Ale Beautiful floral and raspberry aroma. Great zingy taste. It has a tartness that lingers. I could not distinguish raspberries, but if you did a side-by-side of one with and one without I reckon you could pick which was which. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Tool City Brewing (Denmark) - Session IPA Nice tropical aroma, with a hint of floral Very hazy Good bitterness. Quite smashable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) This is a good beer. Citra, Mosaic and Amarillo. I am getting great tropical notes and some floral aromas also, I am guessing from the Amarillo. Nice dank taste from the mosaic and citra, on my pallete. Very crisp and pretty clean. The beer is not that dark but has some color to it Edited August 6, 2020 by Norris! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have been digging their zesty pale ale, the bright yellow can, for a while. If all I could buy was zythos, I wouldn't be to mad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Man Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Lovely. Hops smell divine from the glass. Quite bitter but in a pleasant way. Warms the cockles.I'm going to try and save a dozen for a year. Try!!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Blackmans Brewery - Needs More Citra IPA @PaddyBrew2 would hate this one. Supposed to be triple dry hopped with Citra. Very strong citrus aroma, so strong it has a bit of dankness to it. Good strong bitterness, probably some from the dry hop. Maybe a twinge of acid bit too. Bold strong flavour, but not overdone. This is a beauty. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Colonial Brewing Co - Robust Porter Roast, Coffee and Chocolate aroma These carry through to the flavour. These folks make nice beers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Bucket Brewing - Vern's IPA Citrus and tropical aroma. Fairly high bitterness. Nice malty flavour 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Instigator Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I like this, but it probably isn't what you are expecting when you crack the can. The coconut is very subtle. It's there, but the can tempts you with the words "lashings of shredded coconut". The bitterness is also very low. Those things said, the mouthfeel is great and there's hints of chocolate and vanilla. Given it's a milk stout, it has a little lactose sweetness. It's a great dessert beer. This could be sessionable even though it is 5.6% ABV. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Jindabyne Brewing - Kiandra Golden Ale Can says its got Vic Secret hops, Vienna and Toffee Malt. Strong toffee aroma. Goes well with the Vic Secret slightly fruity aroma. Lovely flavour. Definite toffee, bread crusts. This is how I like a Golden Ale to be like. Pretty high carbonation. I like the little statement on the can: "Our range of beers are as pure as the driven snow, because about six months ago they were driven snow." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Red rye from one of the “local” breweries. Nice! But........... Ben 10’s is better. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Bucket Brewery - Bucket Black More dark red than black. Pleasant malty aroma, just a little bit toasty Really nice flavour. Malty. Like a subdued Brown Ale. Also has a bit of a Bramling Cross black current flavour about it.

Couple of weeks ago, the guys at The Beer Cartel felt sorry for us Victorians, and offered free delivery to Victoria for a weekend. I must have already had a few, so I ordered two dozen mixed beers. Cost a small packet in the end, but got a great variety of beers, as you can see from my past 15 or so posts on this thread. Only got about three to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Mountain Goat Beer - IPA Fresh passionfruit aroma as soon as I popped the lid. Tropical-like too. Smooth bitterness and good flavour. I like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Insel Herb Special Bitter. Supposed to be in the style of an English Special Bitter. There is a Saison like aroma. Described on the wrapper as dry, bitter, spicy and fruity. Quite like a Farmhouse Ale. Really distinctive flavour. I like it, but many would not. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
