[Fish13]

fOR NEZT YEARS case swap can we all use stick on labels please! i have lost most of the labels off the beers. So i can not provide notes

 

[thanme]

Whose beer has no label on it??

 

[dent]

I think numbers on lids makes the most sense, and easy to sort.

 

[keifer33]

Dan reliably informed me yesterday (thus the number on his bottle) that the people in Sydney are so advanced they number the bottles. I think next year we need to do this. Silver Shapies are available from Officeworks for those wondering how to write on a black lid

 

[Fish13]

Whose beer has no label on it??

Legendko had no label and apparently so did another bottle.

I Nev - Dark Lager -- Golliwog READY NOW

II Krausenhaus - American Amber - VERY READY NOW
sinkas: body and clarity and carbonation great,
very dry fo style with a phenolic/fecal/burnt rubber finish
NME: Slightly hazy amber colour with a thin white head that vanishes pretty quick. Nice big hop aroma. Definitely has a big Citra flavour, nice malt sweetness and a decent carbonation level despite the head. Unfortunately I do get the old cardboard flavour, but I seem to be pretty sensitive to it. I think despite your bottling dramas, this is a really nice beer.

XV - malt_shovel - Mulberry Wheat (ready to drink)
NME: I love the colour of this beer! A really nice deep red colour. Definite mulberries on the nose and all over the flavour. I see what you mean about a lack of tart, but I think it works really really well. Very very refreshing beer and just what I needed tonight

XVI - Mikey - Oktoberfest - (ready to drink)

Dan reliably informed me yesterday (thus the number on his bottle) that the people in Sydney are so advanced they number the bottles. I think next year we need to do this. Silver Shapies are available from Officeworks for those wondering how to write on a black lid

Yes they are more evolved than us, I think we should stop dragging our knuckles and number the tops but leave the labels on too as I like the art work.
Not sure we should sort the bottles in the sun like they do :blink:

I Nev - Dark Lager -- Golliwog READY NOW

II Krausenhaus - American Amber - VERY READY NOW
sinkas: body and clarity and carbonation great,
very dry for style with a phenolic/fecal/burnt rubber finish
NME: Slightly hazy amber colour with a thin white head that vanishes pretty quick. Nice big hop aroma. Definitely has a big Citra flavour, nice malt sweetness and a decent carbonation level despite the head. Unfortunately I do get the old cardboard flavour, but I seem to be pretty sensitive to it. I think despite your bottling dramas, this is a really nice beer.

III- jyo- Special Best Bitter with Trademark Haze. Ready to Drink.
BBB - Couldn't see the haze through the haze. Bloody nice beer though. Would make this.


IV cdbrown - Northern German Altbier - been in the keg for 3 months, bottled the night before so get it cold - Ready Now.
malt_shovel 10/12 - Brilliant clarity, head retention and malt profile. Enjoyed this a lot when brewing last night. Thanks for a quality brew.

V - Zig - Czech Pils - There is also Strong Pils and Lutsenbier in these, as labeled. Drink all of them ASAP really. Keep cold.
malt_shovel 10/12 (Strong Pils) - Could read a newspaper through this. Nice carbonation and head that laced all the way. Very well balance for high ABV. Would happily drink this all day/night. Cheers

VI - keifer33 - English Bitter (might be overcarbed so let it sit for a bit in the glass/jug) -

VII - Drew's Brew's - Vienna Lager -
BBB assessment
Head - very good
Clarity - cloudy
Mouthfeel - lucky I have to type coz I can't speak - tongue stuck to roof of mouth wink.gif Mouthfeel is heavy but nice
Hops - nice spicey aftertaste - do I detect a hint of chocolate??
Overall - Nice beer.

BBB - Great colour. Loved it. The ladies here put down their champers and fought for the dregs. I really liked this beer.

Fish - I enjoyed this beer. The low carbonation worries didn't come to fruit with a nice head some lacing. Nice malt and hop flavors and aromas. Some slight diacetyl but it worked well with the beer for me.

Now who had the the white label with a print picture on it? Stuck on with glue/sticky tape? Sorry but first mouthful and down the sink she went. Sorry i copped an instant bad flavour which was bit agreeable. I do hope it was only my bottle

Just thought it was lacking something to take it to the next level. Good beer I would be happy with.
