Whats In The Glass (commercial)

[keifer33]

Some of the Mikeller Single Hop IPA Range. I got Amarillo, Apollo, Bravo and Citra. :icon_drool2:

 

[Tony]

Enjoying this at the moment:

Its a nice beer. Its a NZ beer for sure. I get the feeling the Kiwi's like a maltier beer.

Crystal clear and a nice deep golden colour.

Aroma is FANTASTIC and spot on style!....... Floral and spicy, and addictave on the nose.... and it gets better as it warms up!

I get sweet honey and a slightly fruity flavour from hops.... not yeast. Clean, and super creamy smooth...... like velvet. Slight bitter after tang but only just. Once again with the malty, not too bitter NZ beer.

Id love to have something similar on tap i tell ya...... very nice beer..... but i would add 5 IBU

Ahhh. This beer pushed me into AG brewing a few years ago.....A well done B Saaz Pils is indeed a wonderful thing. Check out Epic"s Mayhem Lager (the only beer they brew that lives up to the raving reviews they get....excuse me while I get my shit shield....) and Croucher pils for similar brew if you haven't come across them before.

and one more for the evening:

OHHHH YEAH BABY!

I swear the head was slightly green when i poured it

Massive pine, citrus and grapefruit...... god i would kill to know how they pack that character in there..... shakes fist at the sky.......

big biting bitterness but smooth in finnish with a long lasting taste of hops and lupin burps.

AWSOME!

Ahhhhh Yes it is!

well said, sir. :icon_cheers:

Had this last night whilst watching the superbowl. Wasn't nearly as hoppy as i expected. Thought it was quite sweet. for a DIPA. Was like a big amber i thought. Fairly meh.

 

[chunckious]

I hope that I disagree Argon. Have 2 in the fridge awaiting further instructions. Looking forward to 'em.

 

[Tony]

Enjoyed this one earlier..... was nice. Had a nice ballanced malt and hop... bias to hops. Nice bitter bite in the end.

Good beer but not the WOW you would expect for the price.

 

[Tony]

Soooooooo i opened this!

once again its a YEAH BABY YEAH

These guys make beers that make want to jump for joy... dead set...... they are my new fav yank brewery!

near perfect ballance of malt and hops. The hops are huge but there is a bit of malt there to keep it real.... long sticky lupin finnish and for a 7% beer... it feels like 4%.

Now to email them and see if they will share some info on how the fek they get that hop character in there.

Amazing and well worth every cent..... WILL BUY AGAIN

 

[Tony]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo






Its empty

 

[Steve@PMF82]

Pistonhead Low Ridin Lager 5.2% - Swedish megaswill

Not a bad drop for a mass produced lager.

Low hoppy aroma, citrus zest with some sweet bready malt.

Sweet bready malt with moderate hop flavour on the palate, enough bitterness to balance.
Medium carbonation and a fairly smooth medium body.
Reasonably clean with a slight hoppy aftertaste.

Not the greatest lager in the world but i think it does what its suppose to while being a bit different.
Shits all over our mass produced lagers.

...Snip...

And the homebrew version i had about 12months ago at BABBs was, and still is, the best IPA i've ever had.... by far.

Fantastic isn't it.
I did a beer tour of NZ late last year, and the Renaissance Pale was my favourite session beer, and that IIPA was up there in the best beers I tried.
