John E Miller Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Mangrove Jacks Dubbel, 4 months in the bottle. This is remarkably better than it was a month or two ago. Much smoother and it has lost a few of the weird phenols/esters. Or maybe I am just more used to it, as this was the first Belgian beer I had tasted. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really a wine guy, but I would like to learn how to enjoy it someday, and then I might dabble in making it. What about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about you? I absolutely love Wine unfortunately as much as beer, I only ever have it with food & usually get all involved with food pairing etc. Most of my mates are wine drinkers so it's hard to not have it. We break the rule occasionally & might start with a wine depending on the weather, what's going on etc. Reds are my favorite & I love white wine too. I am sure I am not the only one. Cheers. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSands Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Harlequin Gold - this Voss fermented Brit Golden Ale with a good dose of UK Harlequin hops has now had an adequate amount of time in the bottle and is going down with a great deal of ease and much appreciation. So far my best beer for 2021... early days yet of course but the bar has been set... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiek86 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 not clear pic but English bitter 2 and half weeks in bottle not as carbonated as I would like probably on par with style. Not bad taste EKG hop tea not a big punch in face but can sense it there. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Just having a wee pivo, very nice & smooth but still 4.7% - I cannot believe for 500ml it is only $2.50 ( 2 x 4pks $20.00) & you can mix them up with other imported beers the same size @ Liquor Land. Nearly as cheap as Home brew. Na zdravi 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is, I have never had it out of the tap but I can imagine it would be Ace. We have some excellent beers in Australia but German style & Eastern European take a bit of beating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However a man has to keep hydrated so you are forgiven. As long as you did not have to preform any ...... duties afterwards its all good. As long as you had a good time, that is what life is all about. Cheers. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gullys Brewing Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 So I'm not always slugging a beer. So today I grabbed a few hops from the bines and threw them into a Gin and soda water mix... yummy. Defantly one of my favourite gin mixes so far. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiek86 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 @CLASSIC @Red devil 44 it's not a bad beer I was drinking some a while ago nice on hot day with the slightly dry after-taste. A little light on body once poured in a glass but for the price its a winner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree, but when you are home doing what we do making beer etc, it's cheaper than going to the pub, try buying 500ml of beer for $2.50. I reckon in it's natural state out of the tap would be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
