Shamus O'Sean Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 At the risk of absolute ridicule: Red Bitter. I have not had these for a while. Always liked them. Went back to them because I am almost a pub with no beer. Well, just a half keg of Mexican Cerveza. No second brew fridge, plus supplying 3 other drinkers, plus doing a few lagers lately (which take longer to ferment) has been a drain on supplies. So I needed a commercial top-up. Strong floral aroma with malty notes Fairly malty flavour with a dry finish Reasonable bitterness Nice head and good lacing (maybe chemical additions) If nothing lese, I would like to know what this is hopped with. Online, some folks have said Pride of Ringwood. However, having done a few COPA and CSA brews, the flavour and aroma of those are nothing like the Red Bitter. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhtred Of Beddanburg Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 @Shamus O'Sean what is the alcohol content of reds now? I remember they were always cheap growing up in tassie but could never say it was a bad beer. Yes we bag the mega swill but I can honestly say I still enjoy most of it. Nothing wrong with a hobby where we can make decent beer and still enjoy a mass produced Aussie Lager. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Abbey de Rochefort number 6 (7.5%, dunno where the 6 comes from) Not half bad… that’s the extent of my tasting notes go, it’s past Cinderella’s bed time 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoppy81 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) Not usually a Sour fan. Had this one a couple times now, it is sensational. Edited April 25 by Hoppy81 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) I thought it was time for a change, on special at the Watermark (Thirsty Camel) for $19.99 x 6 pack only trouble, is I didn't get my 1c change. Still nice on a cold day. Edited April 26 by Classic Brewing Co 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz II Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Went to a Thirsty Camel as well. And being on Russell Island in SE Queensland I couldn’t really resist. Had a few Schooners last night from the tap and it went down nicely. Even the monkeys don’t give a XXXX. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my in-laws moved back to Qld and were looking for houses, we figured Russel Island would be good for them as it is quiet and good for us because it is hard enough to get to us Then my daughter, the probation and parole officer she is, told us no as there are quite a few of her "customers" living there. Dunno, I've never been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Great to finish with a Porter, the balance of malt, nutty flavour finishes with a slight sweetness almost like sarsaparilla. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice Yep, I agree, their beers are spot on, the Pale Ale is full flavoured & with an ABV of 5.1% it is very satisfying. I also like the Pacific Ale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted Thursday at 06:56 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:56 AM I have a full keg of Stout but it's only been in 5 days so I will use up one of these & let it condition more. Needless to say, this is awesome It's Coopers, why wouldn't it be. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz II Posted Thursday at 07:46 AM Share Posted Thursday at 07:46 AM A Pint of Little Creatures. Didn’t have this one before. Nice and hoppy without being perfumed or fruity, slightly sweet with a great mouthfeel and body. Unfortunately not cheap so I have to savour this one 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
