[Liam_snorkel]

LOL maybe it's the one with a finger tip in it

 

[bradsbrew]

Brad froze my beer.

No Park's, Brad rescued your beer! I still have my original swap beer in my case. Pretty sure you put this one in the freezer last night after we finished boxing the beers. Don't you remember? :lol:

10. Winkle - hefeweizen - DRINK NOW

Tastes sensational, pretty flat though. More going on that the usual banana/clove thing, I'm getting mango and pear. Perfect except I wish I had a carbonator cap!

 

[Beersuit]

Drinking Winkles now and agree with Liam. It is a little flat. But taste wise is very nice.

3. Liam_s - Schwarzbier
Pours dark in the glass with some nice red highlight when held up to the light. Good dark malt aroma on the nose. Drinks smooth with hints of chocolate nice dry finish.
Good beer mate very sessionable.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

Glad you enjoyed, cheers mate.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

11. Angus - Sarcastic Wit. - drink now

Nice colour, holds a good head. Light belgian yeasty aroma slightly saison-esque, taste follows, a bit of coriander, good body not too dry. Feel like chucking in a slice of orange.



Found a yeast slug!

 

[Liam_snorkel]

Found an orange in the fridge and threw in a slice, yum.

 

[Beersuit]

9. Seehuusen - Aussie Summer Saison
Very lively carbonation so much so that the head bellowed out of the glass. Once it was rested enough to get to the beer it tastes quite nice. Good hop flavour ballanced with a subdued yeast character. Nice dry quaffer.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

17. Robv - Dark american wheat - READY NOW

Pours dark brown/ deep red, citrusy and slightly roast aroma. Tastes hoppy, good carbonation and balanced bitterness. I keep going back for a sniff, the aroma is nice

 

[menoetes]

Hell, are you boys drinking again already? I don;t think I'll be able to look a beer in the eye for another few days after last night

 

[angus_grant]

I was a bit disappointed that the lemon and lime aren't coming through all that strong. Will brew again and up the additions.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

There was a hint. How did you add them? In my last wit is added 1/2 an orange peel (no pith) tithe cube and it was really noticeable, maybe too much.

 

[Aydos]

3. Liam_s - Schwarzbier

Dude this beer is great. Very clean chocolate aroma, taste is a nice burnt chocolate with a full tasting malt presence. Body is nice and light, carbonation is near on perfect. Really enjoying this one mate, I could easily drink this all night.

 

[angus_grant]

Ahem.... I thought we had lemons and limes at home so was going to add zest in last 10 mins of boil.

Instead I had to add lemon and lime juice. Prob should have held off and dry-hopped zest in fermenter.

 

[Aydos]

7. Parks - Motueka Lager

I didn't go over the top with chilling this one down, I just threw it in the fridge to chill for a few hours. Poured with a nice thick head and good carbonation. The hops were very evident in the aroma. Full bodied flavour with the hops really shining through. There was also a sweet malty flavour to help balance out the hops. Overall a very nice drop mate!
