I do that with my 42" LED for watching IPTV but if I used that for desktop stuff I'd end up with a neck like a giraffe.

Rooten Tooten Hooten. Ekeing out a keg of Bombardier until the next one comes on later in the week (bloody rellies)

$30 a carton, typical Dutch beer with nice rich Euro hop nose - I mean this is 2013 and it breaks down to $7.50 a six pack - 1990s prices. :super:

Recently finished a case of this that someone left at a party early last February...

Actually I quite enjoyed it for when ever I wanted a nice slight malty hoppy eurolager.

Not bad. Specially for 30 bucks.

bought a bottle Northern Hemisphere Harvest Ale..what a beer ....6.7%

 

[bum]

Gage Road The Convict. I have no idea what an Australian Strong Ale is supposed to be so I'm walking into this one with nothing other than the ususal treppidation one reserves for a new Gage Roads beer.

I opened it and was immediately taken aback. Given the time of release and the marketing, I was mostly expecting it to be an imperialised VB. On the pour all I could smell was fairly aggressive New World hops. From the glass, I could smell more hops and a nearly bang-on US maltiness. Was very excited to taste. Thin and fizzy. The nice enough flavour up front dissapates almost immediately. Was expecting it to finish dry but what it does is it just finishes. There's beer, then there's not beer. Smells and looks great. Seems like half a beer to me, especially since it is 7.2%. It's not badly done but it is under done. Little bit sticky/cloying afterwards which is odd given the body. I'd probably buy again if it was one of their regular roster and the price was right.

Budvar Dark, approaching best before (late April), still quite tasty and holding up very well.

 

[carniebrew]

Possibly in the category of "I'll try anything once", combined with the ever disappointing lack of craft beer at my (all?) Dan Murphy's:

Quite enjoyed the aroma, plenty of banana. The taste was less exciting, plenty of malt and bready yeast flavour...with a little banana but a curious bitter aftertaste that seemed out of place.

Zoomed up to Port this afternoon to buy a new desktop monitor and called into Dan's on way back - they are building one in Taree later this year woot.

My version of Bombardier compared to the real thing is a wee bit sad looking at the moment - however it's only been in the keg for a couple of days so I'm still getting the hazy stuff.
Nonetheless I think I'm 80% of the way. Apart from the colour - and yes I do need to up the SRMs with more xtal and darker invert:

• Really aromatic hop zing that follows through into the finish, which I think must the be fuggles, I've just got in a fresh batch
• A buttery caramelly richness that I'm sure must come from the invert, it tastes just like the stuff on the outside of a toffee apple :icon_drool2: - also I'm sure there's some Diacetyl in there which makes my choice of 1768 a lucky guess.

Completely off topic, if you are looking to upgrade your desktop to a kick arse 25" full HD 1920x1080 then get ye unto Officeworks which has the LG at $225 at the moment.
It's 3D enabled if you want to install the disc, won't be bothering myself. Pron never looked so good.

Glasses need a bit of a wash mate!

Had a bottle of Cantillon Fou’ Foune at The Tipplers Tap on Oz day - it was effing awesome.

Taddy porter in good condition @ the Villager from before the deluge.

[Northside Novice]

I was a bit dusty after that night mate, and those taddy's were tasting very good , thanks again for all the single malt tastings upstairs

Reminded me to crack this Smithy I grabbed the other day ,

organic golden ale fermented in the old stone yorshire squares 5%.
A nice golden ale , nice maltyness, light hoppyness, yum,
but would prefer to be supping an oatmeal or taddy !

cheers to dane for extending to upload quota too, let the uploads run free ....

Cantillon Fou’ Foune as consumed my Tallie and me @ Tipplers.




(The shadecloth tent was to avoid us being drenched)

I've been sitting on this one for the last few years. Used by was Feb 2012.

It's mellowed out quite a bit. Lost some of the fruitiness and alcohol bite but still delicious.

 

[Blitzer]

How much was the Cantillon @ Tipplers?

Not cheap! but worth it, & its hard to get.

Taking my camera for a walk around Newtown today which is a good way of getting from pub to pub. After a JSGA, a Coopers Green and a Stone and Wood I'm now at the Townie with a Reschs Draught.

As usual it is holding its head up proudly, a good honest old style Aussie with tons of flavour and a nice long bitter finish.

Actually more enjoyable to me than the hoppy but not in a totally nice way S&W. As the manager agreed it's a pity that it is becoming hard to find as it is being forced off the fonts by the increasing JS and fat yak and - of late - cider brands.

Puntigamer, the "beery" beer :blink:

Austrian 5% Pils, so so

contains ascorbic acid as an anti oxidising agent. (Is that the secret, just chuck a teaspoon into fermenter or keg?)

One for Bribie...



Oettinger Export, 5.4%

 

[pk.sax]

Brouwerij het anker. 8.5%

Picked one up from (I think first choice).

Delicious. Prefer it to chimay blue. I detect a hint of citrus yeasty aroma, that unmistakable Belgian taste (I dunno nutty/bitey/I'm bad at describing it). The alcohol is well hidden in the taste but the warmth isn't. Easy to sip. Not giving me puke urges like chimay does.

Will buy again.

 

[NickB]

Chimay Blue....


Nom nom nom nom... Not the best selection for a warm afternoon, but going down a bloody great after a sticky, sweaty day at work! 750ml bottle and a Stella Artois pint glass.... Wrong glass, right country! Go big, or go home!

Cheers

I am chewing through a carton of Harviestoun B&T. God I like this beer. I know it is like the millionth post I have made on it, but the balance is great for the 4.2% abv and it holds up so well to standard issue Australian mal-handling, I mean it has a hint of ox, but they must really look after it through the brewery processes.

Bear Republic Red Rocket Ale - 6.8% ABV

Bloody tasty.

The Union in Newtown has fantastic beers.

The Union in Newtown has fantastic beers.

Ended up at the Court House Hotel with Mckenry yesterday and we demolished a few - not a bad spot and it's heartening to see that the Gen Y guys and chicks who flock there drink mostly Young Henrys, Fat Yak, Stone and Wood etc.

Had a 4 Pines Kolsch today. What an awesome beer! I had it a year ago and it was so ****. Maybe a bad batch dunno but the one I just had was so clean, crisp, cold with a nice malt presence and carbonated perfectly. Nice one 4 Pines! Almost better than Tony's Kolsch, but thats always fresh out of the keg so....
