Christmas 2009 Lottery

[petesbrew]

IMO mine tastes best chilled Mossy. Enjoy your 50th mate.

 

[Gulpa]

Mine sent yesterday. Glad I didnt send it earlier as I found the original beer selected to have a slight issue (minor infection or something similar).

Enjoy.

Cheers
Andrew.

 

[JaffaMan]

Damn, spewing I missed this lottery.

I'm in for next years one.

 

[Batz]

Posted today, unfortunately I have not brewed so I have sent a very nice imported beer instead.

Shot mine off yesterday. Forgot to label the beer as mine butit does have 'oct' for octoberfest on the lid. Enjoy all these beers. U might gave to give one to the posty though as he'll be hating all these deliveries of boxes to ur place!

 

[QldKev]

Mine should be out there somewhere in the gentle hands of Australia Post.

[Wonderwoman]

posted mine yesterday afternoon. it's labelled, but the labels are not particularly well attached, so hopefully they make it through the refrigeration process without falling off.

 

[Flash_DG]

Posted today, Enjoy

 

[brendo]

Cheers,

Ok guys,

Today I started to enjoy everyones beer. I am about to post my impressions of the beers I have drunk so far (this impression was also derived from friends who were also here to imbibe in these nectar delights).

Let me say from the outset, I am not a beer judge, I enjoy a good beer immensely, I also know what I like.
I have rated your beers on categories I look to when I sit down to have a beer.

Please don't be offended if I didn't like your beer. Also, dont forget your beers came through Australia Post and could have sat anywhere while the strike was on or before they decide to send the beer.

Date Brewer Style Comments

9/01/2010 NME Extract APA
Clarity - Very thick almost murky

Carbonation - good

Colour - Off brown

Head - Long lasting - fluffy

Aroma - Gooseberries

Flavour/Taste - Beer had a lasting bitterness.

Overall Impression - If I was brutally honest I would not contemplate drinking this beer again.
I am not a fan of Nelson hops but that should not detract from you continuing to brew with this hops.
Sorry mate but I could not rate this beer any better.

9/01/2010 itmechanic Landlord Clone
Clarity - Cloudy

Carbonation - Low to nil

Colour - Medium copper

Head - Slight which reduces to wispy

Aroma - Nil

Flavour/Taste - Noticeable caramel & toffee flavours

Overall Impression - I have never tasted this style of beer before therefore I am unfamiliar of
what is expected. The beer had a very dry finish.
The beer was very subdued in both flavour and stated before I could not pick up any noticeable aromas.
Additionally there were many floaties present in the beer.
I must admit my wife enjoyed this beer immensely.



9/01/2010 WSC APA
Clarity - Milky

Carbonation - Slight

Head - Fluffy

Aroma - Very slight citrus

Flavour/Taste - Very mellow to no hop bitterness. No aftertaste or lingering bitterness.

Overall Impression - A very subdued APA. There was no noticeable hop flavour/bitterness or aromas.


9/01/2010 Mayor of Mildura Wit
Clarity - Clear

Carbonation - Slight

Head - Fluffy

Aroma - Lemon

Flavour/Taste - The lemon addition has taken over the entire beer flavour.
I was unable to discern any other flavours.

Overall Impression - On a hot afternoon a glass of this will quench anyones thirst
and they would probably ask for another.


9/01/2010 Jisaw Wit
Clarity - Cloudy - which is what you expect from a Wit

Carbonation - Low

Head - Fluffy

Aroma - Faint orange citrus smell

Flavour/Taste - Very smooth sweet flavour.

Overall Impression - I had a Hoegaarden yesterday (amongst others) and
I enjoyed drinking this beer far more than the Hoegaarden. If I could brew a Wit like this I would be a happy man.


9/01/2009 Cocko APA
Clarity - Clear

Carbonation - Nil

Head - Initial pour good but dissipates to slight

Aroma - Caramel and toffee aromas

Flavour/Taste - Good bitterness that lingers in the aftertaste. I thought the crystal flavour
might be a bit high for this style of beer.

Overall Impression - I enjoyed this beer immensely. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount
of caramel flavour this beer imparted. As you stated this was bottled from a keg therefore
this would explain the no carbonation.

9/01/2010 Booyablack Pale Ale
Clarity - good

Carbonation - Slight to nil

Head - Good

Aroma - I was unable to pick what the aromas were for this beer

Flavour/Taste - My initial impression was apricot and was unable to discern any other flavours after this.

Overall Impression - Sorry mate but the overall impression was not a beer I would want to
try again in the short term.

Make sure you let me know how the bottle of Viognier goes down mate. I know its not beer but you will need a break after getting through all the other beers.

 

[j1gsaw]

Thanks Mossy, I appreciate it.

 

[thanme]

That won't detract me from brewing with them. I love NS for some strange reason
Thanks for the feedback!

 

[booyablack]

That was my second brew ever so I didn't think it was too bad for an early attempt. I'm sure that experience will be my friend in the future.

Glad it arrived safe and sound though. I'm looking forward to trying a Mossyrocks beer when I win the lottery next Christmas!

 

[jeddog]

Hey Mossyrocks

[WSC]

Mossy, thanks for the detailed feedback.

It was not a requirement of winning but is appreciated.

Thanks Mate.

 

[robbo5253]

Mossy,

Cheers

Robbo

 

[ben_sa]

Come on guys, doesn't bode well for future Lotteries if nearly half the bottles haven't arrived after a month!!!

Mossy shouldn't have to chase these...

Cheers Ross
