#20 - Haysie - Colonial Belgian Pale Ale
Quite clear light amber colored beer, presents well in the glass. Spicy/unusual aroma, masks any more recognisable hop aroma. Similar spicy flavor, not very subtle, flavor not balanced by maltiness or clean hop flavor. Bitterness not coming through. Perhaps dropping the fermentation temp by a couple of degrees might help, though not familiar with the Ardennes yeast.

#12 - Mortz - Australian Pale Ale
Light straw colored beer, low hop aroma but more interesting hop flavor. Comparing to my memories of a sparkling ale Mortz's has more and varied hop flavor, slightly crisper, and a bit clearer (probably due to not much yeast sediment being present in the bottle I recieved), less carbonated and this seems to enhance the crisp dry finish in the mouth. It feels as potent though. Really nice beer. I would call it Sparkling Ale's slightly younger brother (either that or a twin brother seperated at birth by a freak yachting accident).

Cheers
Mal
