The Blitzen Ruby Christmas Ale sounded good and looks darkish in the bottle. Chucking in the fridge for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Here's my collection of Aldi Black Sheep Brewing Beers. I think it is the full set. Had to raid two Aldi's to get them. Had the Blitzen Ruby Christmas Ale last night. Sorry no picture. Tasted a bit like Kilkenny. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I tried the Venus and Mars pale ale and it was a bit ordinary. I’m looking forward to the English style beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koo wee brew Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 The IPA was good I also enjoyed the Yourkie square Ale. Cheers, Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Corner Brewing Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Having a Coopers Session Ale tonight. Got to go pick up the tin lids in a while so just one for a start. Got a carton of them, so might have to harvest me some CCA yeast. Wonder how the Shark Attack XPA will go with it... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Picked up a couple of beers to try today, found some colonial pale ale at Dan's and got some balter XPA as well. The colonial should be ready to try after this glass of Ben's saison, but I haven't put any of the balter in the fridge yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very happy with them too. I have to be on the road for much of Xmas day and 1.2 standard drinks per stubby is an equation I can work with while actually enjoying a beer or three. I can't say the same for Mild Ale. I found it a chore to drink through six of them at a recent across town Grade 1 reunion. I couldn't wait to get home to a proper home brew, but I would have been happy to put away five session ales in 4 hours - and saved one for 'ron.

I experience this with the canned version – all fizz and Pride of Ringwood up-front and ugly. The stubbies I find OK, though I think I'd struggle with six on the trot.

Hairy Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I tried it about 5 years ago. It was the first ‘sour’ beer I had tried and loved it. I have tried the stock standard Rodenbach a few times since but that beer was on another level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I had my first ever "Gruit" beer today. For those unfamiliar with the term, it is a beer that uses herbal sources to create bitterness & flavour, & was pretty much the 'norm' prior to when hops were discovered & used for this purpose. After you get over the slight noticeable difference from drinking normal hopped beers, It's actually quite enjoyable. The carbonation was near perfect, nice head development that stuck around a little while before fading. Nice malt character, & whatever herbal influences & fruit that may have been used created an enjoyable overall flavour to drink. Would I ever brew a beer like this? Hell No! Do I appreciate the knowledge required to produce a beer like this, & the effort it would have taken to make it, hell YES! Hats off to the brewery for making this commemorative batch. Dainton Brewing Co. (Live Beer Menu) Cheers, Lusty. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Got a couple of beers today. Rocky Ridge have never failed to impress me. Amazing mid strength, slightly sour, refreshing mandarin fruity hit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Beerfarm. Only once have they failed IMO. This one, DIPA, Red, no hints of coffee, sweet and as bitter as...... well something that’s really bitter. Very very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
