Whats In The Glass (commercial)

Tried this one today

Great beer, i really liked it.

Slightly hazy but the head on it was light and fluffy and lasted for ages as i siped away. Smooth malty body with a great spicy/earthy hop flavour and aroma. Smoth but up front bitterness that lingered slightly...... just right! Very bright and fragrent.

I could drink a lot of this.

cheers

they have this on tap at the opera bar in sydney, i drank a lot of it at a work function. The hop flavour on tap is quite distinctive and i picked it to be something in the way of brambling cross, could be way off though, def had a berry/honey type flavour, very nice.

The guys out at the Spotted Cow bottleshop in Toowoomba (recently won an award for Best Bottleshop in QLD & I tend to agree) were pretty keen on Rogue beers, what were they like? After spending way too much on Unibroue 17 & La Terrible amongst some other things I didn't get any of them but keen to give them a bash. Huge selection out there.

So jealous! :icon_drool2:

Would kill to be able to get anything by those brewers over here.
Not that Rogue hasn't got some excellent beers up their sleeve.
Bring on the Yankee invasion!

Got stuck into a few of my Chrissie presents tonight...

Port Stephens Whale Ale.
Brewed by Murrays, a Belgian Witbier of sorts. Quite nice and easy, not as full on flavourwise like Hoegaarden.


Duchesse De Bourgogne, a Flemish 'sour' red ale of sorts.
Beautiful stuff! Almost treacle like sweetness balanced with the oakiness and balsamic vinegar-like sharpness you get in this style of beers. Loved it!


Grottenbier Bruin.
Nothing special really. Kinda bland for a Belgian.


Rochefort Trapistes 6.
Words can't describe how nice this beer is. Just the smell of it alone is unlike anything i've ever come across. Rich ripe fruits, perfumy, velvet-like texture, ridiculously drinkable for 7.5%alc/vol. Doesn't have the body of the 10 (haven't tried the 8 yet ) but the flavour is just amazing.

Does anyone know if Oaked Arogant ******* is available in Australia.

I have an offer from a friend in America to send me some by mail but the postage costs........... well........one would hope its worth it!

Want to make sure i cant get it here before i get it sent.

cheers

Spezial-Brau Rauchbier (lager). Only had hints of smokiness. Served from a wooden barrel.

Just cracked this little ripper - Double Dead Guy Ale from Rogue. It is awsome, very malty...not like some of the other US IIPA's that focus only on the hops.

For anyone in North Sydney -> I found it in the bottle shop on the corner of Miller and Berry Streets. Looks like they had about 4/5 Rogue beers availble 330ml and 750ml, but I got the last one!! The smoking hot girl at the checkout had no idea when the next shipment might be though...

Also, I had MCT's # 26 of the NSW Xmas case swap beforehand and this is pretty damn close!! Well done!

Jever Pilsner

Workmate just went over to Germany at xmas to see his missus....cam back with four diff beers for me.

Very nice pilsner. Cant pick the hop though, could be sazz could be hallertau. either way its sliding down way too ez.

+1, I was hitting plenty of Jever when I was last in Germany. Top drop. :super:

 

[3GumsBrewing]

I'm on my way :icon_drool2:

LOL, yep and i belive i detected a french accent!!

Anyway, dudes i need this beer as my house beer..... I am not exagerating when i say it is the single greatest beer i have ever tasted ( actualy i am exagerating quite a bit, but it is bloody good) anyone know where a recipe can be sourced?

Cheers

I, now, officially hate this thread.

Finally, something worth posting to this thread. IMHO anyway.

The pre-story:

I managed to fix a program bug for my supervisor today, which he had been struggling with for a month or so. "That's worth a beer" he says. Cool! We head to the belgium beer cafe after work, and he asks "what do you want to drink? - your pick, anything they've got." Then I notice the sign behind the bar:

"World's best beer 2008"

Me: That one?

Supervisor: Sure. Done.

Very tasty indeed. 3 Grains - Malt, Wheat, Oats. Wonderful full body, great balance, not a single flavour taking control; all of them working together in harmony. 8.5% ABV (mid-range for a tripel), creamy. Just bloody wonderful. Not surprised at the awards at all. I don't want to know how much it cost, but I'd probably shell out for another.

 

[devo]

Single (1 x 330ml Bottle) $9.20
