Googled it. Lambic differs from most other beers in that it is fermented through exposure to wild yeasts and bacteria native to the Zenne valley. You certainly have a big range of interesting beers to try. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Christmas to me Nice mate. I have been reading up on lambics the last few weeks. Only tried one example a few months ago and really liked it. Enjoy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have grabbed a few more. I totally agree HH, I have access to quite a few of their range, they are superb beers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Seen these around, first time trying. It’s a decent IPA, but plenty of the Coopers’ recipes are better. Well done Coopers! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) A Talus hopped West Coast IPA from Ballistic. Not a bad beer like most of Ballistic’s brews but not my favourite. I’ve never been particularly big on IPAs and prefer the humble pale ale. In most IPAs, I find the bitterness a little overbearing, distracting from the hop’s flavours and the malt. Quite drinkable though. Edited December 28, 2021 by Aussiekraut 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Black Sheep Ale, from the Theakston bloke who set up shop on his own when Theakston’s was sold to some megaswill corporation (Scottish and Newcastle maybe). Mighty fine drop, especially served not too cold. Suits Northern Europe at the moment at cellar temperature 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltop hops Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Quick beer at Shapeshifter this arvo. Double Back APA and grabbed some takeaways. Great local beer. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Everyday Ale from Wayward Brewing. This is a beer to my liking. A straight up, no BS pale ale. A little malty, a little fruity and damned if this one lasts more than a few minutes. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Dainton Brewery - Blood Orange NEIPA Definite orange aroma. Slight pink tint to the beer. Reasonably juicy flavour. Not just a fruit-juice beer, more like a beer with fruit juice tendencies. Modest bitterness. Very nice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Boatrocker Brewers - Miss Pinky Raspberry Berliner Weisse Smells like a diluted raspberry jam or maybe a raspberry pie, or even some cocktail with raspberry in it. This is obviously pink coloured. Tastes quite similar. Sourness is pretty mild. Compared to the Dainton Blood Orange NEIPA, which was a beer pretending to be a fruit juice, the Miss Pinky is more like a raspberry cordial pretending to be a beer. Still not bad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiekraut Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Water Me Lawn, a watermelon gose from Ballistic. Normally not my style of beer but this is quite refreshing and I think one could get sloshed on it fairly quickly. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiek86 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 @Aussiekraut I could get one just for the can fantastic lol. So it wasn't over sweet and artificial tasting? Only one I ever tried was bricklane had to tip it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing you’re told about brewing is sanitation, sanitation, sanitation. Don’t give the bacteria a chance. The bacteria is your enemy and if you ever had an infected batch, you know why. So why on earth would I deliberately infect my hard worked for beer with bacteria which makes it sour? Why? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel infested with bacteria I got a few sample packs for xmas and besides of the ever present IPAs and Hazys, the odd lager and a couple of pales, there was a gose and a sour. Both were quite drinkable but still not my fave. Beer isn't supposed to taste like this Will I go out and brew one? Probably not. Will I drink the odd one? Sure, why not? TBH, I actually bought a 4-pack of the above yesterday. Not because I went out to get one but because I saw it and it had my name written on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got a distinct watermelon taste to it, funnily enough It isn't overly sour and IMHO quite sessionable. I've had worse. A couple of years ago, there was a beer festival here in Brissie, organised by several breweries and SEQ water to showcase beers brewed with desalinated sea water. The Water Me Lawn was one of the beers show. I didn't mind it but also hadn't had one since. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiekraut Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Here is another interesting one. It came in the Ballistic 12 days of Xmas pack. Graft, a grisette from Ballistic’s bunker project. Apparently fermented using 8 different yeast strains. It is a bit like a farmhouse ale, unconventional flavours and has quite a tartness to it. There is a smell and after taste, I can’t point my fingers at but it is an interesting beer. Not my normal kinda beer but not bad…every now and then 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was from a 12 pack of Lindemans, blackcurrant. Hmmm…. a bit like Ribena with booze in it 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
