Noice. Not nearly as sour as I thought it might be. Didn't put the glass in the picture much because I f**ked the pour and got a bunch of yeast/bugs in the mug. Finished the mowing and settled down with this. EXCELLENT mowing beer.
 
I'm just finishing off an Epic "Hop Zombie".
I have man flu (a cold) so sense of smell and taste aren't at their best, given that. I could still smell and taste this beer, and will try it again when I am unclogged.
What I could smell and taste of it I liked. Apart from that, it had some white head, little lacing, bright clarity and a pale golden colour.
mmmmm
 
Green Flash 30th Street Pale Ale. Coming in at 6%.

Piney, grassy and citrusy. A great combination for me. The best comparison I can make to the Imperial IPA i had last night would be - Having the Imperial IPA is like drinking cordial straight from the bottle, awesome in small doses. This is like strong diluted cordial that you could drink all day.

Will g great with the pork rack I have on the kamado.

How good was that 30th Street. I loved it. Wish we could have had more then one keg :(
 
Had a Gage Roads Punkin Ale last night. What a waste of time. Very disapointing.
 
SWMBO and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary in Sydney this weekend and managed to sneak in a few beers along the way. (Apologies in advance for the phone pics)

The first three were from The Pumphouse Darling Harbour :-

Feral Hop Hog IPA

Last of the Hop Hog plus 2 testers. The one on the left was the Pumphouse 1891 Honey Porter and the right was a Mikkeller (can't remember the exact name but it was a smokey chilli porter so I'm guessing) Texas Ranger (Chipotle Porter)
 
Then later that night we ended up at Red Oak:-

A tester of the Hefeweizen and Weizen Dopplebock

Then I had 6 or so more testers consisting of Pilsener, Lager, Bock, ESB, Pale Ale and Strong Ale.

SWMBO called last drinks so I thought I'd end the night with a stein of Hefeweizen. :beerbang:

Duvel Tripel Hop

cita, saaz saaz, styrian golding dry hopped with citra
9.5% alc/vol

'Every year, our Duvel brewers select a different third hops variety for the Tripel Hop. The result is a richer taste pallet, extra hops aroma and increased bitterness strength'



quite a nice refreshing beer for such high alcohol , it is freaken de-lish :icon_drool2:
 
No pics but im drinking Hook Norton Pale ale again. I've had it not long ago and loved it. Having it again, and again, i really like it. Love to brew something similar. Love to know how the UK lads get sooooo much character in a beer, but still be reasonably medium bodied ( enough to be sessionable ).
 
Sierra navada Kelllerweis. Lovely drop. I had a Franziskaner Heffe. SN is smoother more balanced and less of a pain to pour than the German equivalent. Quiet surprised really but both don't come close to the red wheat recipe I go out of the WHEAT book...not by a long shot.

where did that come from?
 
Murrays


Retro Rocket Ale - At the other end of the spectrum, i cant believe this beer is only 2.8%abv.
It punches well above its weight in terms of flavour and mouth feel.
Id love to be able to brew a light beer half as good!
Their advertising is correct in saying that it is Australia's smallest IPA.


We produce a 2.6% IPA (Zythos Lite) & a Simcoe version about to be released as well, so not totally correct B)

Cheers Ross
