Christmas Lotto 2012

[petesbrew]

It's a bit quiet here lately, hey?
Wonder how the winners are going with their supplies.

For me no more bottles since Dec 21. So just over half made it for Christmas Day. Which reminds me to pull my finger out and get the local brewers over to help drink them.

I've still got that single stubby of Robust Porter with no name on it.

Cheers.

****! Was in a rush! 'Tis mine h34r:

 

[Stagwa]

I sent mine to Genebovil on 17 Dec, I would have though it would have been there before Xmas I sent some beer to my brother in Brisvegas on 20 Dec and he got them the next day.. Looks like the Aussie post elves had English Bitter for Chrissy :angry:

Cheers,
Stagwa

Found the owner for the porter, so list updated

Drinking right now:

Cocko's Simcoe APA. Nice copperish colour, slightly cloudy. Reasonable off white head, some lacing on the glass.

Hoppy aroma (durr). Can smell a slight off-aroma (could be a touch of sulfur or perhaps oxidation from the gentle hands at AusPost), but this over powered by the Simcoe, and doesn't take too much away from the overall impression.

Nicely balanced between hops and malt, but leaning towards bitter (to style, IMO). Carbonation level is a touch low for the style, but I'm drinking it a little early.

As the beer warms the oxidation aroma and flavour become more apparent, but still not overpowering.
Overall a well-produced beer, but could've done with some gentler treatment. I blame Australia Post since two bottles arrived broken/cracked.

Cant read a label then mate?

 

[geneabovill]

Thirsty, and it was one of the only chilled lotto beers I had. Recipe? As if I can ever get my hands on Simcoe again.

All good mate, hope you got through it..... :icon_cheers:

 

[geneabovill]

I did. I didn't say it was bad...

 

[Cocko]

Both comments meant in good fun mate....

Seriously, I appreciate the feedback and thank you for taking the time!

Enjoy the rest - they must be taking over the house! Chill that **** - and drink!

:icon_cheers:

Surely you guys have drank more of your winnings by now.

Need to update your tasting notes on here. Winning doesnt come without some work you know..

Here's mine, I'm going to invite a couple of the local brewers around for a beer, and sit down and sample them. But I was hoping to have nearly all of them by now, being a Christmas Lotto; but a third are still not yet to arrive. Maybe I should pull my finger out get it happening with what's here.

Bottles sitting at 18c in the spare fermenting fridge.

QLDKev, I'm suprised the ones in the padded bags actually arrived intact!

Even if you write "FRAGILE" all over it, I could see some Auspost workers treating that as a challenge accepted.

A few rugby captains in the delivery centers. :lol: I've sent plastic bottles in the plastic bags wrapped in a bit of bubble wrap a few times, touch wood so far all good. I don't think I would drop a glass bottle in one.

FRAGILE: another way of saying throw me
