    Mudgee Ipa

    Tried Mudgee IPA a few weeks back at Paddy's Hop Festival and was impressed. Had a couple of schooners at the Schwartz Brewery (AKA Macquarie Hotel) in Sydney and was still impressed. It's a beer with plenty of flavour both in the malt and hop department yet goes down easily. According to...

    Doctors Orders Iron Lung

    Just tried Doctors Orders Iron Lung at the Mac hotel in Sydney. Now that is one flavoursome beer, strong malt AND hop flavours. At ABV 6.9% and IBU 60 it packs a punch but is well balanced by the flavour. What do you guys think of it? http://doctorsordersbrewing.com/

    Dundee India Pale Ale

    Got a sixer of Dundee India Pale Ale from Dans. Not sure if it was a victim of Dan's warm storage, but it tastes awful :icon_vomit: Anyone else tried it?! It tastes like someone's first attempt at a kit and kilo IPA. The balance is way out, sweet malt flavours are not what I would expect in...
