And another one...yes, I have been visiting uncle Dan's 🙂 A nice refreshing tropical pale ale from Green Beacon. Tropical with a very light bitterness. Maybe the latter is not doing the beer too many favours. I don't like beers that still leave a bitter taste in your mouth after half hour but this is a little too low bitterness. A sessionable beer though, maybe because of it.

That’s one of my favourites of theirs, especially straight off the tap at the brew house.

Flanders Red. Not a bad beer and nice to drink but a tad too sour for my liking. 

Cheers AK - mate I tried those RodenCreek Belgians a while ago - but after making own AG beer... just was not really that amazed.... guess one day I should try a Saison  but... Rbach are the experts... and it was quite nice.... but not really racing down the alley ways trying to find a recipe...

Dainton Brewery - Cherrywood Smoked Rye Baltic Porter

The first of my Father's Day haul.

Aroma is smokey.

Deep cherry colour when shining a light through it.  Persistent head.

Very strong flavour that reminds me of charcoal.  No noticeable hop character.  The can says 50 IBU's, but you would not know against the intense flavours.  Very well balanced, but you know it is a strong beer.

This was a Champion at the 2017 Australian Craft Beer Awards.  I can understand why.

Nice pick son.

Braeside Brewing Co - Brown Ale

A collaboration between Rubia Coffee and Chocolate Works

Aroma is definitely chocolate.  Coffee not apparent.

Definite coffee in the flavour.  Not as smooth as some Brown Ales.  Still a very nice brew.

This reminds me a lot of the Belgian Chocolate Stout.

Forgot to post this from the Weekend... had some Moo Brew in Tassie a while ago... this more recent tasting of the below dark drop was very nice...

Dan's Tasting notes say:

This American Brown Ale uses resinous hop flavour in synergy with caramel, chocolate and a lightly roasted finish. The hop bitterness and aromatic character are balanced and pleasantly textured.

Mmm... I can only remember that it was a dark n taschty creamy brew ha ha... there were a few before it and after it ; )

And that it reminded me a bit of my Altbier ha ha?!  Ha ha... 'you don' know what yer got till it's gone' ha ha
