Aussiekraut Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Went to Uncle Dan’s for a selection of yummies to celebrate Lizzy’s b’day. Gonna kick off with the most delectable of the lot. Oh how decadent this beer is. Exy as hell but. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tipped the beer after the third sip. It was a Mornington Peninsula brewery pale. I had them in the past and held them as one of the better pales I had tasted. Surely this this a fault post brewing and not an intentional recipe change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your case sounds different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lettucegrove Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 @Hairy There's nothing worse than tipping, what should be a thirst quenching, superb tasting beer down the drain on a Friday arv after work. I may have shed a tear that day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabro hops are really not okay and agent orange should be used to remove the putrid things from the planet. Bought a six pack of this on the weekend when I saw galaxy and mosaic which is my favourite hop combo in an APA. I don't class it as horrid but below average and nowhere near the Hop Thief 7 which was galaxy and mosaic only. Unfortunately for me 8 9 and 10 have been a backward step with each subsequent release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the 10 to the 9 but I agree it has deteriorated since the 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Tallboy & Moose - Jungle Berry Fresca (Fruit Cream Sour) Sour berry aroma. You can pick-up a milky aroma too. Flavour is berry fruit, sourness, plus a smoothness/mild sweetness that balances the tartness a little bit. It will be the lactose in the recipe. Nice, but not sure I could drink six of them in a row. Not even a month in the can. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Bojak Brewing - Internal Chaos Hazy IPA - $1 from each can sold goes to mental health initiatives. Good one. Aroma: Fruity as. Tropical plus pine and pineapple. Bold hoppy flavour. . Bitterness quite understated. I guess there is some malt in there. Oh yeah, I got a new glass. Noice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Hobart Brewing Co - Tascadian Dark Ale Simcoe, Amarillo and Tassie Cascade Fruity and piney. Roasted notes Roasty flavour. Nice bitterness. Looks and tastes like a dark ale. Smells like an IPA. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instigator Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 My namesake is finally available in a bottle! MacAlister Instigator Imperial Amber Ale This is one of their "every now and then" beers and is my favourite. All their stuff is good, though. If there's an upside to COVID-19, it's the fact that these guys are now packaging for takeaway sales (previously by the glass only). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Boatrocker Brewers & Distillers - Pluto Porter Pine and wood aroma with a tiny hint of fruit. Brown malt flavour with notes of chocolate and coffee. Quite a nice easy drinking beer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, went last weekend. Had a nice chat with the owner but blowed if I can remember his name. Didn't get through much of the board as I got stuck into the Bloody Mary Gose, but will definitely return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltop hops Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Something different was given in a mixed box. Not my thing tastes like salty passionfruit to me but they make some real nice beers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Bad Shepherd - Sticky Date Stout Aroma and flavour is spot on. Cherry, vanilla, date. Just like a sticky date pudding, only beer. This is the last in my current run of canned beers. Bring on Christmas for the next batch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzza Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Last week - a nice beer late afternoon in Armidale NSW... Welder's Dog... they called it I think a Dunkle... which really should be Dunkel... But basically they are saying a Dark Lager.... tasted like a 'light' version of my Altbier minus hop power and reducing markedly the dark malts ha ha but was lovely and refreshing no doubt there! And the Uni lasses in the pub were drinking freshly squeezed Granny Smith apple juice with Gin !?! Seems to be the latest thing ha ha.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Man Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I'd give this one a miss. Terrible. Leaves a nasty taste. Hoppy passed this to me. Yeah. Nope. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Sauce brewing session yesterday. First two were Apple Sauce and Peach Sauce. Apple Sauce is an apple cider. Very nice, not too sweet, good apple flavour. Peach Sauce is a fruit sour. Not overly sour, very mellow with a good peach flavour. Subtle, not over done. Had some nibbles too, a lovely grazing plate. Raspberry spritzer and, umm, a pale? Can't remember what it was but well hooppy. The spritzer was very nice actually, reasonably dry and refreshing. Beer on the left is a coconut mango sour, I liked it a lot, great mango hit, little coconut in the background. The other was a high abv hazy IPA, very nice, thick mouthfeel, so fruity and easy drinking. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
