    QLD Xmas-in-July 2017 Tasting Thread

    1. Winkle - acerola Enjoying this much more than I did last time. Complexity, tartness and sessionable. Giddy up

    9 a) MadPierre - Black Rye IPA Overall I really love this beer. Mainly because it hides 8% so well. Not boozy in the slightest. I can feel it in my head but can't taste it. The hop characters are subtle. More hops would definitely elevate the beer but otherwise drinks great.

    4. Nickxb - Zombie Dust APA This was pretty juicy and resinous with layer on layer of delicious hops. Just felt a bit sweet, possibly under attenuated. Great beer though.

    6. Luggy - Rye Pale Didn't realise it wasn't ready to go. Very well made beer. Nothing complicated about it but perfect on all levels.

    Mine should be ok to drink now. I don't know if the carbonation is going to get any better as it's been bottled for 6 or 7 weeks. Don't be expecting it to be in the same league as Anthony's lambic. This was my first attempt at a sour so I have much to learn. Not a bad effort.

    11. Fitzlp - Red Rye IPA This is pretty delicious. A little undercarbed but still enough bubbles to carry it, just no head or lacing. If you said it was an APA I'd believe you. Just doesn't have the big hit of hops or abv that I'm used to for the style. Nice job though.

    23) Zorco - American Barley Wine Striking aroma. At first I thought it smelled like Turkish delight but couldn't quite pin point it. If you've ever tried a Rutherglen Tokay (Similar to a muscat) it's very similar to that. Just an incredible depth of flavour with honey, black tea, campfire...

    16) Scott Mack - Belgian Wit For some reason thought I had an IPA in the fridge ready to go hence the glass. Pretty classic in style. Bang on really. Carbonated perfectly with thick lacing. It's got a nice subtle lemon and herbal spice going on as well. Really sessionable. Can't ask for...

    No idea. Just assumed honey as it had subtle flavours in that taste spectrum

    20) Parks - Imperial Manuka Smoked Porter This went down a treat on a cold winters night. Not heavily smoked nor dominated by honey. Nice roasty malts, smooth and warming.

    13) Earle - Kettle soured red ale (bottled 21/05/2017) Smells of cherries and red fruits. Rich malt underneath with a nice tartness. In all honesty it had quite a bit of complexity for 'not a flanders' and was very enjoyable. Mine was undercarbed and I was going to gas it up but quite enjoy the...

    8) crowmanz - Tassie Wild Dark Mild: Dark Mild recipe fermented with Tasmanian Wild Yeasts Mount Field 1 Pours like Cola in colour. Carbonation bang on with good lacing. On the soft drink theme it has a bit of sarsaparilla going on. Not sour as such and the malt profile is mainly background...

    5. pcqypcqy - Mosaic Saison Psuedo Smash 7.5%ABV. This is interesting. Excuse my sporadic tasting note... Blueberry and pine aromas so definitely getting the mosaic. The saison yeast really comes into play in terms of taste profile. You can certainly feel the warmth, not hot but as you'd expect...

    19. Evo4u Irish Red Ale Thought I better get the ball rolling and start with something on the lighter side. Colour is pretty dark but shows some red with light behind it. It's nice and dry, pretty well attenuated. Nice and simple malt profile with high carbonation and lacing till last sip...
