As for the questions regarding 'The Water Feature' I dunno what you lot have been thinking... was even there in the drought?! 😆

The photo below is from Dec 2019 when everything was on fire...  and I still had my SchneiderWeisse glass  : \

very interesting beer was 80 bucks for carton wish I had just got a 6 pack. It's not horrible but I'm trying to decide if I think it needs more hop flavour or more mouthfeel.  Maby both after having different craft beers that have more body and more hops.  Definitely preferred the bright blow hard pale over this was similar but more hops from memory.

I went to Bunnings at 7.00am this morning ( they open at 6.30am ) to beat the heat & bought up on tomatoes/chili plants to get something started in the new garden at Glenelg. I already have a lot of herbs in tubs but I have room now to get some stuff in the ground so I plan a nice variety of veg.

In the meantime, hot work digging the earth - need a drink, the Watermark formerly Thirsty Camel is now a Dan Murphy's - the first drive through bottle shop in SA. Not a bad drop this Pils & good value too @ 500ml, Cheers.

Pirate Life Acai & Passionfruit Sour

Passionfruit and tropical aroma (are they the same thing).

Fruity flavour with a sourness that grows, but does not become overpowering.  Nice entry level fruit sour.

The Simcoe Pale Ale slowly transferring to a keg in the background.  Clear for the top inch, then cloudy.  Cold crash with Gelatine at 0°C for 5 days.  Almost decided to never use Lallemand Kveik Voss yeast again.  I harvested some from this batch and will use it this weekend.  If I get the cloudies again, it will be banned.  How do @BlackSands and others get theirs so clear?

If I ever have to buy packaged beer which really upsets me by the way. Oettinger is one of my go to beers. It's relatively cheap and is not a bad pilsener at all.

I totally agree, it's got everything going for it taste, 500ml, 4.5%, price - it's quite often on special at BWS for $15.00 x 6 pack. Win, Win.

Modus Operandi -  XPA

More of a tropical vibe to the aroma and flavour. than the Pale  Similar tropical notes in the flavour. 

I was expecting this to be a step above the Pale, but it goes the other way.  More like an Xtra Pale Ale, as in more paler so less flavour to keep its balance.  Still mighty nice.
