Love this beer and really want/need to brew this again. Quite similar in style and quality as the tall poppy IRA from 8 Wired (except this one has a belgian yeast strain). Got some good feedback from the first ABC beer presentation.

Cheers

I must say the IRA mentioned above is an absolute cracker of a beer mate. I would be very happy to have a similar beer on tap at home for sure. So hoppy yet so balanced! (Slightly :icon_offtopic: thoughts on replicating it - move to just Pacman yeast or something similar?)
