Ok guys, I've had a crazy few weeks of late with a new role at work but I have a nice stock pile of beers and have been going through a few every few days.

Unfortunately I am fairly new to the whole brewing world (18 months) so my "feedback" shouldn't been seen as such as I honestly have no idea what I am talking about except that I know what I like in a beer

The one thing that I didn't realise was that there would be a fair bit of admin to complete after winning this comp to keep track of the beers etc but I now have a spreadsheet set up to keep track...(first world problems, i know!)


I am not sure where I am meant to officially post feedback etc but I thought I would throw a few picks and brief comments up here to thank the kind guys for their beers!


First cab off the rank was Bowie in Space's "Emma's Pale Ale". I thought all of my christmases had come at once when I had this as it was one very clean and refreshing pale ale... I believe it was brewed for his wife's birthday so I got SWMBO to give it a go and she was impressed (she doesn't drink beer at all!)... The taste of this was so clean that it could have easily been a commercially brewed beer!




Next cab off the rank was Mayor of Mildura's "Truffles", it was a Robust Porter with Jack Daniels and Vanilla added... Sorry for the dodgy pick, but I had this during the second state of origin after a few of my own and it was an extremely nice "sipper".... the jack wasn't overpowering but a very well balanced porter. The good Mayor also sent me a Barley Wine that I have put away for a few months to age and will enjoy down the track.





Third beer has been Wolfman's Saison.... This was the first Saison I have tasted and honestly didn't know what I was looking for but this was a very refreshing brew and one that I would love to knock a few back of on a summer arvo after working in the yard!





Next up was one of Bullsneck's beers... an English Pale Ale.... exactly the kind of beer that I like to drink myself and thoroughly enjoyed this one as well!





Last but certainly not least is keifer33's "Citra 10 min IPA"... I haven't had alot of IPAs as the few that I have tried have been too in your face but I am absolutely loving this one (as I type) and will be looking to give this one a go in the not too distant future!


(Sorry.... run out of space so will post the rest in the next message)

 

[Camo1234]

here is Keifer33's IPA:





Sorry for the dodgy picks and low level feedback!


I have been thoroughly stoked with winning this comp as it is opening my eyes to the power of the Home Brew World... I love it that I already think I make great beer but can see that I still have a long way to go and develop my skill as a brewer!... I just wish I had more time to brew!


I have alot of other beers either maturing or in the fridge and will endeavour to post each beer that I try over the next month or so.

ps... please let me know if this should have been posted in another thread?



Camo :icon_cheers:

 

[keifer33]

Glad youy enjoyed in Camo just about to pour myself one!

 

[Fat Bastard]

Sorry Sponge, yes, got yours.

Thought I'd PMed you a thanks, but must not have...

Thanks!!!

Nick

I'll assume you got mine ok seeing as I didn't hear back from you!

 

[NickB]

****, sorry FB, did get yours. Trying to keep track of PMs is hard work! Pretty sure I've got everyone's except Camo which is in the post.

Cheers

No worries, I did say to get back to me if you didn't see it in the PM! I just get paranoid about stuff getting lost in the bowels of Australia Post!

Sure does look like a nice beer Camo

 

[NickB]

OK, finally getting into these beers!

First cab (beer?) off the rank thanks to 'fridge Lucky Dip' is RobV's Simcoe APA....



Pours a slightly hazy deep golden colour, rocky, long lasting head.



Lovely aroma and flavour of citrussy Simcoe... A very nice beer mate!!



Cheers
