Whats In The Glass (commercial)

[adryargument]

This is how I want spiced beers. A bit of autolysis, but a good beer.

Had a 2010 bottle a few months ago - it had a quite noticeable marmite / vegemite hit, however still delicious all the same.
Backed it up with a pannepot aged in port barrels, slightly better than the original but much of the muchness.

Met one of the owners up in the bruge shop - ended up taking home a shopping bag full of their goodies, thier 3 floyds collaboration - shark pants - was brillant.

Hehe, that bottle has exactly the same labelling issue as my bottle did.

Amager Bryghus Sloth
Simcoe hops and Pilsner malt
Nice beer, very drinkable, but didn't hit me with a strong level of that great classic Simcoe flavour I was expecting.

got giddy , fecking broncos huph...

cracked an 09 hoptheif.. hop thing is way gone but oh so smooth n nice bitter stuff hmmm
like a smooth caremal thingy now , i think was worth the wauit B)

Word of advice - dont age IPAs or pale ales. They are designed to be drunk fresh while still hoppy. Actually the beer styles that can be aged are a narrow few.

Some of the good ones I've had over the last few months

And others

No picture because it was last night at a bar and I never take photos of my beer anyway BUT

Hop hog barrel fermented IPA.

I think their IPA is a decent beer but there's a hop in it I don't like (got a pineapple flavour) and I am a little bored with the AU craft beer obsession with hoppiness and AIPAs. I like them but I also like diversity. The bar I was at last night was having an AIPA week so all taps were along the lines of hoppy/AIPA.

Well - the barrel fermented HH is ******* delicious and made me a very happy man after 5 or 6 pints. Actually I was happy after the first sip - it just got better from there.

If you see it - get some.

SN Southern Harvest for $10 at vintage cellars... Mmm.

Also had Epic Zythos (yum) and 8 Wired Haywired (yum but insanely carbonated)

Cant find camera lead,trying endeavour reserve pale ale,nice range of hops

Had a Kaimai rye porter last night at a mate's and it was lactic as all hell. It was actually drinkable if you reframe it as a sour beer because the (assumed) infection is so clean, no crazy phenolics, just clean lactic flavour.

Just had their standard IPA down at The Terminus in Clifton Hill, very nice beer. I'm guessing Chinook and some Galaxy in there? (smells like Galaxy, but has some Chinook flavour). I got passionfruit aroma with grapefruit flavour...

Just sipping on a Rochefort 10...no photo you know what it looks like.

Whoa, not what I was expecting, very much like drinking a fine port but with a bit more malt presence and a little carb.

Nice warming from the alc, but well integrated.
Certainly not at the top of my list of best beers but enjoying something different.

Off to the spa now to relax and finish myself...I mean finish it off.

found the lead

and got some more to drink later

Last night I drank some old beers with my Dad.

Rodenbach was unreal. Four year old Cantillon was milder than their fresh gueuze. Noice.

If I could brew something like this I would be a happy man.

Funny, I saw the "whats in the Glass" HB thread, and went looking for the (commercial) one, as I just finished a Hoptimum IIPA this afternoon.

I thought it was a bit lacking in complexity, and was expecting more pine from the 'whole cone' claims on the label. As with many SN beers into Oz, it may or may not have travelled well. Mine was imported by Phoenix.

That said, I have had some brilliant Southern Hemisphere Harvest SN's sourced locally, so maybe its a lucky dip.

 

[Tony]

picked these 2 up to try...... and a goon of Punk IPA.

Life is good this Friday night

 

[bruce86]

hopefully this worked my wife got me this collection for fathers day (yes its early but im heading away for work on sunday) just wanted to brag lol
considering she doesn't drink beer she did pretty damn well i thought. the big one at the back is Mountain goat cross breed Seven seeds.

Snuck down to 4 pines for a choc porter on hand pump.
Was quite nice - however at 4% needs a bit more of a kick.

Finished up with a SN Southern Hemi Harvest - love that wet hop aroma and bite.
