therealthing691 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 At harvest he usually has a bowl on the counter with fresh hops when in season I guess as I have seen them there before he said he got them of a guy at Oscar's ale house cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Today's Tasting - Wayward Passionista Berliner Weisse Not sure about this one. Aroma is 100% Passiona. It has a good sour taste. Loads of carbonation - think softdrink levels. Cannot really tell it is a beer. Could be a passion pop style drink. I would drink it again, but I would not buy it again.

Beerlust Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I've tried a few of these Berliner Weisse beers, & although I can see some appeal with them, they're just not beer to me. More like a very lowly carbonated cordial to me. Not a fan. Each to their own though. Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 1 hour ago, Beer Baron said: 2 more beers today. Good but not great yet again I'm guessing the Big Nut is a Black IPA. Given the icy looking beer in the glass, I reckon you've missed the point on this one. Let it sit & warm up in the can before pouring. The aromatics of this style of beer would have been greatly diminished if served icy cold. I nearly tried this beer at the recent Beer & BBQ festival here in Adelaide but wanted to try a few other beers from different breweries on the day. From memory & if I've remembered the exact beer John spoke of, PorscheMad911 really liked this beer. Despite living somewhat in a bubble over the in our nations capitol , everything John has recommended that I have tried has been pretty damn good. Just my 20 cents, Lusty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Out of Red Hill Brewery - Hop Pop Usual IPA aroma. Drier finishing yeast taste. Hence the Brut IPA label A little underwhelming, but I did grab it out of the bargain bin (Yes, I am a cheapskate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I apologise if I led you up the garden path @Beer Baron. I really enjoyed mine on Friday night, with the caveat that it was the first beer I'd had in a while. So I tried another last night to make sure, plus one of my Black DIPL as a comparison. IMO the Big Nut is a well balanced beer, with lovely hop aroma (albeit fairly low in intensity), well-judged body and a nice dry finish with a bit of roast. I do get some ash in the finish though. The hop flavour is well-integrated and tasty, but I don't think it's quite up to Black IPA levels. In contrast my Black DIPL was bigger all around - more hop aroma and flavour, more body and sweetness (probably due to being a kit beer with likely a higher FG, another 2% ABV and my choice of yeast). Had more chocolate flavour vs ashy roast. If it was just a touch drier it would be perfect. Mine was a touch lighter in colour too. So OS Dark Ale kit FTW!

I had my eye on this beer when it was released. My hop aroma and flavour were minimal so maybe it was an old batch. The Grainfather Kraken Black IPA is the best black IPA I have tried by far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben 10 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Lovely, smooth porter. Wow, just wow. Tastes as it looks. Minimal bitterness, massive hoppiness. So fruity and no fruit in sight. Glorious. Hoppy, no roast flavour at all, you'd think black food colouring was used. WTF? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Lao Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Had a 6 pack of Sierra Nevada Tropical Torpedo last weekend. On spesh at Dans for $21 bucks, due to being discontinued. Best before date was 11/19. Was really good as usual from SN but would love to get a fresh one , one of these days. Well worth it though - good bang for buck! Struggle buying anything these days in 4 packs and also 330ml bottles / cans. Just doesn’t sit right ! Cheers James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Yeah not a fan of the four packs either. The 330ml size is annoying too but pretty hard to avoid these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Got a few of these today. It’s a very small brewery in Vasse. 4% funky Saison. Very very fruity and funky. Lovely drop 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
