Whats In The Glass (commercial)

[black_labb]

@blacklabb, if you need a roggenweizen recipe, I've done one recently.

Yum, though I couldn't drink it quick enough - it needs to be young.

Goomba

Do you have a rough outline? I won't ask for a full recipe of the beer as I don't have enough self control to not butcher every recipe I see and make it my own. I am pretty interested though, especially as summer is coming

Paulaner Oktoberfest from a pack from BWS (or maybe liquorland?). 4 Oktoberfests and this glass...
Not sure what it cost or which one it was at, my wife grabbed it for me on the way home..

Far too easy to drink for a 6% beer...

Deschutes Jubelale is amazing.
Firestone Walker Double Jack IPA is really nice.
Found a 750ml Rodenbach Grand Cru for under $10.

Pretty good beer week so far and it is only thursday.

80% Weyermann Wheat (I'm thinking of doing 40% Wey Wheat, 40% red wheat from briess)
20% Rye

Bittered with Stella to about 15 IBU and dry hopped with about 10g Willamette.

I used WB-06 dry yeast which has a mellow clove flavour, but no banana. I've read that it is waaaay better with wet yeast - one of those beers you need a proper yeast for.

Adryargument - let it sit for a while first. Maybe until the weekend or longer? Mine was turbid and full of floaties despite 36 hours in the fridge after transporting and careful pouring. Hop debris? I really wish I'd let it settle longer, given it was almost $18 for a stubbie...

Either way, it has an awesome aroma, even though I found the taste a bit OTT bitter.
Difficult to know when to drink a monster like that. If you have it at the start of the evening you won't taste anything afterwards. If you leave it until last your palette may already be jaded... Maybe it's one to have mid-week, all on it's own.

Enjoy.

I couldn't resist the urge

Ended up pouring it very gently through a hop bag.
Was very balanced and quite moreish for a 9.7% beer.
Been throwing extra pellets into all my pale ale beers all afternoon since.

1000 IBU? Hmmm - i would say 100 at tops, however i definitely wanted a bigger hit!

 

[Dave70]

This.
Thank **** I didn't buy a six pack. Horrible.
I'm so ******* over Squires.

On a brighter note.
I'm quite enjoying my second bottle of LC single batch.
Even my non beer drinking wifey commented 'smells kind of like flowers or fruit' - followed by 'please don't shove that glass in my face'.

Plus I had 4 Pines stout.
Said something on the label about it being 'certified space beer'.
Good.
I'd like to see it jettisoned into a black hole cos its ******* **** to.

Thus concludith my review. I feel harsh, like a semi pissed David Stratton.

Good evening.

Well Im not f*%king happy, I bought the same pack and got a ****** 'bitburger' glass, wasnt even bitburger in the pack,
have to agree though the Paulaner was very drinkable for 6% and probably the choice of the pack.

Well fu*k me the bottle is pink, close your eyes and you would think youre sitting down to one of those instant hart attach American breakfasts pancakes maple syrup and bacon.

Anyone who knows me will be aware that Im not a fan of extraneous **** in beer, be it cherries, wattle seeds, juniper berries or what have you (there are a few exceptions, mostly from breweries that have been practicing for a couple of hundred years). This one totally blew me away, it is one of the best beers I have had (life top 10), perfectly balanced, they have managed to get a huge smoky aroma, without the overwhelming smoky flavour that usually comes with the smoked beer. Maple syrup almost has to be a post filtration addition, its there on the nose, fills the whole mouth without being too sweet, 30 IBU which balances the beer perfectly, the label claims 13 ingredients 3 smoked malts and Im not even going to think about a clone Im not a good enough brewer to juggle that many ingredients and stand in awe of anyone who is.

Sorry I didnt have a camera with me, just dropped into the Albion for a couple of quick ones, Paul Mercurio and the brewers from Mountain Goat were hosting tonights offerings, Newcastle Craft Beer Week has been great and I need a new liver
Talking to the importer tonight it looks like 20 cases reaches Australia, 240 bottles; the only question is how many I can get my hands on!

Good evening.

I remember reading somewhere that 4 pines made a version of that stout that could be drunk in space.
Basically it had low next to no carbonation. The reason for this being that when you are in zero gravity you can't consume CO2 without doing a 'wet' burp. They were trying to make the chances of burping as low as possible. So maybe if you were an astronaught on a long mission hanging for a beer it would taste pretty good when the alternative is no beer....

Cheers

No pics - too lazy (and had a couple).

Gage Roads Atomic Pale Ale.

... "meh"

Agreed - it's pretty pedestrian. It's got more malt than say LCPA, but once you make beer to your own tastes and have bulk amarillo/cascade/simcoe/d saaz etc, then these beers that tasted like bitter rusty nails aren't really that mind-blowing anymore.

Sounds interesting - it is probably one of those ones that you either love or hate

This was the worst beer I have ever had. Using smoked malt as a base malt is ridiculous. Never had something so bad in my life. Your reviewed either doesn't have a palate for beer or has lost his mind.

The issue I have is that I ran both kegs (i've now bought more kegs to ensure that it doesn't happen again) dry.

So obviously I have to go back to buying beer after a few months.

Any APA - whether it's Gage Roads Atomic or sleeping giant, Boston, Kosciusko, anything - it's really bland. Even the IPA are bitter, but not as flavoursome. I kill them any day of the week.

I ended up deciding that I'd be better off drinking pilseners, lagers and the like - at the very least I can't make one as well as the commercials, and they are refreshing.

But I've really ruined my palate for any bought APA - because my house APA is exponentially more flavoursome and a keg costs me the same as a 6er.

It's not fair to the brewery - after all, I imported 225g of citra, can buy galaxy cheap, got 1/2kg of Cascade and, by not paying excise, can afford to whack in a turdload at 10 minutes. I'm an accountant, but none tell me to produce an APA within budget, so I can play with it.

******* you Mark. I've be resisting the urge for a Warners run, and this may have just tipped that over the threshold!

Good evening.

i agree dave i remember the amble ale being quite nice and then i bought a carton and was quite annoyed at myself. there are almost megaswill now

i have a bottle of this waiting for me to try and a Scottish stout also to devour

had this while fishing the coffee flavour was very nice and not overpowering and there was some hint of chocolate but nothing like the bushshack chocolate ale.

Couldn't agree more. I dropped into the bottlo yesterday and grabbed a few different beers. I remember thinking I never liked JSGA but so many people say they like it - so I bought one to see if I'd missed something. Nope :icon_vomit: . On the other hand, I've never had a S&W PA (don't know why), really enjoyed that, far out you could destroy a few of those in summer.

Where did you buy that Belhaven Scottish Stout fish ?

 

[Fish13]

i got it at celebrations down the road from me. It has expanded its range a little but i think even dan murphy's should have it.

Tempted to make the choc stout brownies with it...... after i have a glass from it.

 

[Malted]

On a brighter note.
I'm quite enjoying my second bottle of LC single batch.
Even my non beer drinking wifey commented 'smells kind of like flowers or fruit' - followed by 'please don't shove that glass in my face'.

Been sitting on it a while? Isn't that from a single batch released in March? Isn't the big dipper their current?

 

[Fish13]

About to try this whule washing and sanitising bottles tonight

I also picked up another bottle of something.... no idea what it is though

Also in april next year i am getting some la chouffe glasses sent to me from a Belgium mate.

cant wait

First day I can get stuck into these - Man they've got to have pulled the original brewing logs for these, for sure, it's a time trip.

The Brisbane Bitter is a fairly meaty beer with a trace of sweetness, but the flavour and bittering hops are fierce compared to today's dumbed down Aussies. It's just like I remember it.
The Bulimba Gold Top is so hoppy I'm having difficulty just sipping it, it would give Brown Dog a fright :lol: it's a chugger (six o'clock swill stuff for sure). There's so many IBUs I reckon it's got to be up in the 30s somewhere as opposed to the modern 18 or whatever. Exactly like I remember drinking the old Carlton Draught from the Fortitude Valley Brewery which was just rebadged Bulimba till they built Yatala.

These aren't blonde or lite or super crisp whatever that's supposed to mean. This is back to the future absolutely full strength stuff, swig some cans with the boys after firing some cane fields or painting the Story Bridge - love them - probably stash a case of each because they'll be gone pretty quick I expect once they have renewed the trademarks.


Edit: just to check whether I'm playing with myself too much, I just slipped up to the LL six doors away and got a modern Carlton Draught to compare.

Oh the fucken humanity <_<
