Whats In The Glass (commercial)

[alien13]

Enjoy the Cantillon Kriek, fantastic beer.

It's definitely different. I just poured myself a glass then, and instantly from the smell I knew it would be what I was expecting. It has that sour smell to it, but not so much in a way that it is off-putting.

The first sip met my expectations. I only had a small sip to start with, but it still packed a bit of a punch. The flavour is hard to pick. I might need to let it warm up a bit to their recommended serving temperature to release a bit more flavour and aroma.

It is a nice beer, but it will most likely take a bit of drinking to fully enjoy it. I would definitely grab it again, and others of the same style, though.

And here's a picture in the glass.

Murray's icon 2ipa used by 01/02/14- Grabbed from the bottleshop next to the Albion.
Beer is flat as a tack, syrupy and almost undrinkable.
If i didn't need some alcohol encouragement to work on my tafe assignment this afternoon i would of poured it.
Totally unacceptable due to the bottle shop being less then 40KM down the rd from the brewery.

On a lighter note i had said beer about 2 months ago on tap at the brewery and was great.

Really hoping the 'Grand cru' i got in the fridge is in better condition.

Had one of these yesterday for the first time.
Some IPA's I find overly bitter with nothing else to back it up - not so the Hop Zombie!
Lots of flavour and not too bitter, very nice indeed.

 

In other words its a fresh IPA (agree Hop Zombie is great). Stale IPAs just become bitter with nothing to offer. A lot of imports are far beyond their best.

Went back and got two more pints of the Old Peculiar today. For $5 a bottle it's unbeatable. Also got a Midnight Black IPA from Temple and a West Coast IPA.

Had another Old Pec at the weekend. Bloody beautiful drop.

Send Murray's an email. Shawn is very receptive of feedback on the beers, especially of issues such as this.

Adamski29, how did you find the Tilquin and Horal's? Where do they sit on the scale of intensity?

The Moon Dog was pretty tasty, nice oak fruitiness from the barrel and the Brett. Megablend was only $22. I picked it over an SN Brux that was $25.

Tilquin was at Purvis Beer in Richmond. They had HEAPS. Scored 100 on Ratebeer but I didn't really see why. It was a nice gueuze but I don't think it's the best I've had. The Horal's I got from Grain and Grape, couldn't resist, had more to it than the Tilquin (of course), nice acidic bite in both. The Tilquin was one of the most sour lambics I've had.


And FYI, the Johnnie Walker was ****....as expected. Sometimes I think it would be nice to not accept gifts.

4 pines pale ale. Have been avoiding buying pales for a while, but this one was awesome! Proved aussie craftbreweries can make some amazing pale! Not just boring near bland malt water.

 

[yum beer]

yum.

This is my 2nd beer from Wychwood, also enjoyed the Goliath.
Very happy I have the recipe for this, must be time to crank one out, have been waiting to get hold of one to try
before bashing out a full batch.
How much money in paypal......

Tried two new Monteiths beers from Woolies.

An Apricot Ale had too much fruit for me, but the IPA was pretty good. $5 a pint was a good price too.

Struise-Mikkeller is as we said in the past "Best of two worlds". We delivered an IPA with 130 IBU (Batch I), 150 IBU (Batch II), 163 IBU (Batch III), but a bitterness hidden the Struise way, counter balanced by maltyness, alcohol and rest sugars.


its pretty good .... must admit fresh is best , and unfortunately mine is not fresh so not the wow in the chow like i was hoping for but still giving me a lil chubby ....
