This one is a limited not for sale Malt Shovel (Lion) brew, made strictly for employees who participated in a video apparently.
It's called Crying Lion.
I'm getting Amarillo in here, with a refreshing bitterness coming down the sides of my tongue. Not too heavy, and not too drawn out.
A strong sweet malty smell with a little taste on the tongue after the bitterness.
Not bad, but not tops!

sounds interesting, wish i could try it , why not public release it ? wonder why they seem to have stopped their limited (but for public sale) seasonal brews? so many quality aussie craft brews/breweries might be scareing the big boys off maybe ? I some times wish the big boys would be like

' ok, we have unlimited resorces, so lets brew a few really kick ass brews and show the craft world what we are made of !'

bloody fready cats

Apparently one of the bosses is moving on and they made a limited run for him based on his favourite brew, as far as the old man told me, they gave it to everyone who joined in the video for the making of it. Probably some kind of going away present or something.

I would like to think its a product trial and they are looking for internal feedback on a new Squire brew? As you can see, it is in a JS bottle.

The Mad Brewers did a seasonal beer over winter called Ginger Chops, that was the last i heard of, maybe something will come soon!

Ballast Point Big Eye IPA - tastes slightly of boiled cabbage. Do they use it in the kettle? :wacko:

yes i did notice the bottle which brought back good memories :icon_chickcheers: cheers for the heads up , these old men you talk of are getting few and far between and quickly bing replaced by gobchites like me <_<



the tallie syndrom doesnt do the old brews justice at all , rum runner was such a luberly drop , not sure of the native origins of a hoppy heffe or the likes but hey , the petrie valley was full of dutch farmers at one time , maybe they could enlighten me on the malt shovel ways ?



jurt . not a dig at you , just thoughts on beer :icon_cheers:

For social reasons I was stuck on James Squires Amber (on tap) for all of this arvo and it turns out it is actually a pretty damned nice beer all things considered. Not a huge fan of the bottled version but I quite enjoyed it and missed it when I has FORCED to drink Fat Yaks (tap) all night.

I find these big hop beers too cloying and sickly, the fault must be mine! I got definite boiled cabbage and cloying malt. But I also found the Mad Brewers Hoppy Hefe to be a disgusting syrupy mess, almost undrinkable. My tastes are clearly not in line with the vogue and I was bitter at not just grabbing another Leffe, fool!!

I too suffered the dissapointment of Hoppy Heffe. Too many brewers just throwing butt loads of hops at some thrown together malt bill and claiming its in the glory of craft beer, then charging ridiculous prices to cover the cost of huge dry hopping regimes. I dont pay bucks to 'smell' whats in the glass.

Sucking on a Westmalle Tripel ATM, a nice beer, big bubblegum and banana's on the nose, big round body and lovely malty flavour, then the alcohol hit slides in behind it and takes away all that was good. IMO would be a much better beer if the alc was a little lower and not so obvious. I know its highly rated but I find with this as with other trappist brews I have drank, the alcohol content brings them down, they are big tasty beers that fall down when you lose the nice flavours to alcohol burn.

In a kind of proactive approach, I saw this on sale at Dans - I mean for sale.

If you've had a bottle, was the $10 asking price worth it?

First post in this thread. Enjoying a bit of Old Peculier from Theakston's Brewery.

I'm still getting into the tasting of beers so I can't give you much of an insight. It's very palatable though! Not as fruity as the ales I get up in Scotland.

Anyway, hopefully my tastebuds will wake up after all these years of drinking commercial beers!

 

[Econwatson]

For my next beer of the evening,

This stuff is brewed about 40 miles from where I live up here in the Frozen North!

I love the smell of it, but I find it a little bitter for my tastes. Think I prefer the 5am saint to be honest!

For my last trick...

Innis and Gunn. The only thing I really get is toffee and more toffee. I'm not too much of a fan to be honest! Apparently it's aged in oak casks, perhaps that's where it gets that flavour!

EDIT: Here is a little video explaining how it came to be!

I was never that impressed with Shepherd Neames Spitfire, Bishops Finger and Master Brew, however I pushed past that and gave the following beers a try. I'm glad I did because I found both beers to be very nice.

The IPA had lots of English hop character to match the 6.1% ABV.

The stout had plenty of the expected roast/coffee/choc character. Perfect for these cool English nights.
