Balter XPA.

Decent beer,good aroma at first, drinkable.

Will I buy it again. Nope.

 

[Dan Pratt]

Imported from Victory Brewing.

Prima Pils

Excellent example of a Pilsner.

 

[bevan]

Not bad, though I enjoyed the Karma Citra I had last night much better. Was very nice!

Naked!

Sailors Grave Brewing - Berliner Weisse waiting for a label
Very tasty indeed - lots of Mandarin, 4% and a beautifully crafted and balanced beer, could just smash these in summer or anytime. I'm not just saying that because I help out there on occasion h34r:

Father's Day present.

Old Fart ESB



Sweet malty, biscuity flavour but finishes dry.
Bitter orange flavour from I'm guessing Challenger hops.
Nice subtle esters from the yeast.

I'm a fan of this beer !

 

[Fraser's BRB]

Some OG Budweiser, complainant in the longest running breach of copyright case in the world.

So clear, like looking through coloured glass. Tasty too. Nice one Aldi.

 

[Ciderman]

Just incredible really. I wish i bought more.

Just incredible really. I wish i bought more.

Haven't cracked mine yet.

 

[Ciderman]

Haven't cracked mine yet.

It's better than the standard we had, and if my memory goes back that far better than the iris too.

Just layers and layers of complexity. I know it's just a basic malt bill but it was leaning towards a flanders style the complexity was so great.

Very dry, sour cherry with plenty of funk. Not even in the top 50 rate beer for fruit lambics which is suprising.

Moon Dog's Mack Daddy - Righto I'm not sure if there's something wrong with me but this has to be a bad batch. It was so citrusy that it was lemon-sour. It had some melon character about it but was puckering, almost had an apple-like bite. No roast or malt to speak of, which is wrong for a dark beer. I had to tip it, it was very unenjoyable. Anyone else had this? I'm considering returning it.

Yep. My bottles the same. Trying to see how they can call it a dark ale. If they called it 'Lemon Black Ale' then I reckon it'd be spot on. Is this heavily loaded with Sorachi ace hops?

Belgian wheat taste off because I have a Bacchus Cougar Wit fermenting away with 3944.

Much prefer Hoegaarden [emoji4][emoji108]

 

[Aus_Rider_22]

Blue moon is quite horrible.
Hoegaarden is quite delicious.

Drowned Man IPA - a session IPA @ 4.8% nice and juicy

4.8% makes for a pretty short 'session'. 4.8% ABV is what the gubberment use as the cut off to define full strength beer

 

[BKBrews]

Today I had:
- 4 pines Seasonal IPA no 1
- Young Henry's Newtowner Ale
- Willie the Boatman Trailer Ale
- prancing pony (or whatever it is) American pale ale

Loved the young Henry's and the 4 pines, both of the others were extremely average.

 

[louistoo]

Monster of a beer! thoroughly enjoyable carrying monstrous hop character with aplomb. Heretic brewings evil cousin

Trying some local beer while holidaying in port Douglas.
Worst beer eva.
Noticeably worse(/more bland) than VB or carlton draught.
I'm surprised the Queenslanders aren't much more angry if this is their main beer option. No wonder they like NRL so much. I'd want to smash some dude into the ground also, if I had to drink this regularly. Is that why the maroons dominate State of Origin??
I can only assume the blandness is best suited to hot tropical conditions when you just wanna sink some piss on a hot sweaty Friday night.

The disappointment of the beer coincidentally suited watching my team get smashed in AFL.
Though at least the footy had the consolation of watching an awesome opponent win.
There were no winners on the beer front.

Tuatara ITI

Very, very impressed with how much flavour they managed to pack into a 3.3% beer.

Shock!!!!! XXXX Bitter was my Aussie lager of choice before I left qld, I wonder if it's changed. Or maybe your tastebuds are sour from not only losing but being a Hawthorn supporter

 

[Bridgey23]

No XXXX bitter probably worst beer I've ever tasted. Hang on. I tried Brisbane Bitter once. Far worse.
The XXXX off the wood at breaky creek is a different story. Yummm.

 

[LAGERFRENZY]

How much did they sting you for a ***** beer up in Rort Douglas?

 

[Mall]

There is a new Brewery/Pub in the Marina, am looking forward to testing in 3 weeks.

 

[technobabble66]

@wiggdude, it was tasting bad in the first quarter while we were leading. And def not sour from being a Hawks supporter [emoji6] (not sure why they would be, tho. The threepeat will keep me happy for a while [emoji12] And also to see the dogs play well - my 2nd choice for the premiership).

Def the worst beer I've had in a v v long time.

@LF, the only good thing about it was my brother in law paid for it, so I'm not sure how much it cost.
Rort Douglas is generally a bit pricey, but maybe not as bad as I thought. Though that might be a reflection of how badly we get ripped off here in melbs. Still, was stunned when 4 pizzas cost us $110.

@Mall, Hemmingway's brewery def worth stopping at - esp nice location on the pier.
Be prepared to shell some bucks. Not a big rip off or anything, but def not cheap.
The $15 for a flight of 5 beers is worth it to taste their range. I was surprised to find their Pilsner and dark lager were the best. IPA was also good. Their 2 APAs were average - bittering either too high, or wrong hops causing it to be too harsh for these lighter beers.
I'd def rate their pils, dark lager and IPA (& this from someone who normally finds pils to be underwhelming)

Pretty rarely do I go that adventurous with my purchases but with this weekends Amex promo, I finally decided to try one of the Almanac sours

Almanac tropical platypus
"sour blonde ale is aged in used wine barrels and oak foeders with an array of tropical fruits. We selected barrels with fruit-forward characters, and amplified those notes with the addition of kiwi, mango, lime and passionfruit. We tied the whole blend together with the addition of aromatic Galaxy hops from New Zealand."

At $22 a bottle it's not cheap, but it's definitely tasty

 

[timmi9191]

Thank you aldi

 

[Dave70]

A couple from Plonk last weekend.

Just a little to thin and slightly to much roastyness I thought. Sample size of one however.

This was delicious. Complex with hints of toffee and berries and not what I was expecting (Belgian style - ish). Love to do a clone, but the consensus on the ingredients is a bit all over the shop.
Ideas for the yeast range from Koji, Red rice and WLP 570. The bottle had plenty of floaties in there to harvest, but I'm assuming this might be any old thing to bottle condition.
Goes down super smooth for a 7% er. One of those deals where you buy a six pack and before you know it you're loosing count.
