Whats In The Glass (commercial)

How did you get the beer to stay in the glass with it at that angle?

magnetic glass I would suggest!!!!

 

[Bizier]

Magnets. Always with the magnets.

The Monk in Freo has Green Flash and Ballast Point beers on tap, and tasting very fresh. I had a great night on these.

Leftovers from the awesome US Craft Beer Week. Sculpin IPA was one of my absolute favourites.

Guinness in a can!. Still havent got around to fermenting a beer since moving in, so i've been buying some here and there, though i have 2 cubes of bitter so i wont be buying anymore!.

I actually quite like guinness in the widget cans.

 

[Spork]

meh. It's OK I guess. Love the colour, but (to me) nothing special about the flavour. Perhaps this style (Red ales, Red Irish ales) just isn't my cup of tea - or my pint pf beer as the case may be.
Will have to try their Dry Stout next.

Picked up these at a place called Mane Liquor in Belmont, Perth whilst I was over there recently... They had an awesome range of beers! and cheap(ish) too for the imported rarities

 

[bum]

Whoa, that Two Captains looks intense. Gonna have to look for one of those.

 

[jyo]

Looks like you're sipping those with a straw, Schooey
Haven't been to that bottleo yet. Will have to check them out when funds are up.

The two captains was an awesome beer, bum, though I'm not sure how you'll like it... It wasn't big hop aroma in your face like an American example of a big IPA or IIPA, but it was a very flavoursome hoppy example with a huge malt profile to back up all that bitterness. It really is as it looks too; like a hop soup, with a very rich, languid mouthfeel


:lol: jyo, that's the handle of a growler of beer I bought from Colonial Brewery... I can honestly say I wouldn't go to the effort of going back there to get it filled

You're right, I would be expecting a big aroma but your observation above is what I thought (and what appealed) when I saw the picture. I also know not to have any concrete expectations from a Nogne brew - except, possibly, that it won't be like any beer I've had before.

BeerMasons? :lol:

Yep.

My saisons going into storage, along with 1 each of the Belgians, for - as long as I can manage. Hopefully 2-3 years.
The rest have a much shorter life expectancy.

I'm with you there. I didn't mind this beer, nice caramel on the nose and a bit of spiciness in the after taste but I'm more interested in the stouts that came in this pack.

Its not Boulevard Saison Brett is it

 

[Stuster]

No, it's Bruery Saison de Lente. Here.

You know, Spork, I was planning not to keep it for that long as the hops which it is supposed to have will of course drop out with time. Certainly be interesting to see what the brett does over time though.

 

[Spork]

Yum!
Only criticism would be it's colour / lack of clarity. However, as I take a mouthful, I can't see the glass, so thats a minor gripe. Very nice beer (but then, prob my favourite style) Going to be difficult to leave the other one alone for a year or 2. Would like to do a side by side comparison with an Oude Bersal Beersalis. Luckily I still have 7-8 of them left...

 

[bconnery]

This thread has made my anticipation of the pack even higher than usual...
Lucky it's home and chilled now so I can start deciding which ones to drink

Not a strong banana. Nice spice aspect though.
I think this would go great sitting in a bar in Manly on a summer afternoon. Not my first choice for a winter evening but fresh is best

Bootleg Brewery Sou'West Wheat
Another great summer beer at totally the wrong time of year. Tastes like a beer made to be approachable to wider audience. Nothing wrong with that of course, a well made beer for what I'd say they where aiming for.
A hint of noble hops, some tartness from the wheat.

[Spork]

Hey - I didn't get the Bootleg Brewery wheat beer in my pack! Maybe they know wheat beers aren't my fave style...

Liking this a lot more than the Irish style Red Ale from last night.
Not what I'd call a "Big Black Beer", but a very drinkable one.
Tastes more like a porter than a stout to me, but I'm certainly no expert.
