Whats In The Glass (commercial)

[Will88]

Fair enough, I'll definitely be keeping an ear to the ground for that one.

It won't be here anytime soon as a container just landed in Aus. A bit annoying, since I just did a huge order to come over to Perth of new Epic stock (the new single hop is here, at least).

I would give it 2 months before it lands, maybe? It's a bit weird though, since the old website said Hop Zombie wasn't coming out until 2013.

Rochefort 10 tonight. Plums, raisins, candi sugar. A little too sweet for me. Didn't have a Belgian beer glass, so wine glass it was

That Jamil guy sure knows how to brew a beer.

Had one of these last week, best IIPA I've had to date. And I've my fair share :icon_drool2: Didn't think I'd come across a better IPA than Moylans Hopsickle so soon

It's a bit weird though, since the old website said Hop Zombie wasn't coming out until 2013.

Unfortunately, the supply of top secret special hops for this highly aromatic beer were exhausted - not only at the brewery but on the whole planet!!

No one had any. Not only had the hops run out, but the next year's crop had also been fully pre-sold. No Hop Zombie until 2013!!! Noooo!!!

The guys at Epic Brewing Company just couldn't accept this. They spent months scouring the earth, trying to find these highly desirable and aromatic hops. A small amount of the elusive hop, grown in Washington state in the USA, was found hiding in a sleepy corner of the UK. They were quickly air freighted (don't tell the bean-counters) to NZ to brew another batch of palate infecting Hop Zombie.

Yes, the rumors are true, Hop Zombie is back!

The Brewhose had a Bacchus beer on tap? Awesome.
I went in last weekend and they had a Mount Tamborine Brewery beer on tap, but I wasn't game to touch it.

 

[chunckious]

Yeah they had MT Black Cockatoo, wasnt game.
They also had Burliegh Pale Ale & LC Long shadow.
Because of beer week I suppose.

I thought the Tall Poppy as "OK", but likely that opinion suffered by drinking it (a day) after Tasman Red which was very good.

 

[Tony]

Tried a bottle of the coopers celebration ale or whatever it is.

YUCK !!

flavorless acrid cardboardy, dusty yuck.

Had a schooner of CPA at the pub today to re focus my love of coopers and it was awesome

Totally agree with your Celebration Ale review, Tony.I got a 6 a few weeks ago and I've only had one since. Just forcing one down now to remind myself.Aside from the oxidised flavours mentioned, I think there's little merit to the beer as a whole.Thin malt profile, only slight hop bitterness, almost no hop aroma and a metallic hint to top it off.For a 150th anniversary 'Celebration' beer....it's not good, to say the least.

Oh good......... i didnt get a bad bottle then.

I have tasted far FAR better K&K homebrew beers.

Pathetic!

I would drink a VB over this, it really kind of offended me that i paid $4 or $5 for the bottle.

2/3 went down the sink

Had one of these from Dan Murphy's. Great IPA, very balanced almost to the point of being malt driven. Goes to show as brewers how out of balance most of our beers are, could drink this all night if given the chance.

I tried one in a bottle when it came out, and did not find it offensive at all, it just wasn't as hoppy as was hoping, and something I didn't have a reason to purchase again. The 2 I have had on tap have been quite nice, but like the general concensous, not worthy of something to mark 150 years.

I'm thinking you had a dodgy bottle, I've drunk a few a of them and got no hints of cardboard or dustiness at all.
