Whats In The Glass (commercial)

[kalbarluke]

Went on a trip to Mebourne. Visited Purvis but didn't take any pictures. Here's what I remember:

Rochefort 10: big beer with lots of different flavours. Made me really drunk.
Kooinda English Red ale: nice.
The Big Job IPA: stupid name with plenty of sexual connotations but a really nice, well balanced beer. Made in England.

There were others but that's all I remember. No affiliation but Purvis was a great store with a massive range (compared to any place in QLD anyway) and the young lady who worked there really knew her stuff.

Well this is just bloody delicious. Aged in Lark distillery barrels I'm lead to believe. 11.8% scotch ale.

Had one of these last week........Agree on its deliciousness

My palate is garbage so I'm not going to give meaningful tasting notes. This is scrumptious.

Fun Fact: A small amount of my sweat goes into every batch! (only at mash in folks.......nothing to worry about)

Looks very nice mate . Haven't tried the 2011 myself but have one in the cellar that I have been trying to forget about , probably crack it around 2016 if I can hold out that long ! Ha !

Got home from work on Thursday and this was greeting me. Good wifey!

 

[Cosh]

This is the mountain goat RIPA. It's a very balanced beer, not too bitter and the rye ads a silky smoothness. Yum

 

[lukiferj]

Its a great beer. With wanker glasses too! (I also have wanker glasses)

This has been sitting at the back of the fridge for over a year. I'm not sure how this oversight occurred but anyway...

Cracking beer. Great smooth roastiness, treacle and a firm bitterness.

It was part of a two bottle gift pack someone got me. Drank the other bottle last year. Unfortunately, I can't remember/report any changes over the year. Certainly no adverse effects, 7.2% alc will have helped.

Another mediocre North American wanna be , but It sucked me in yet again
Too sweet for my liking , and thin . Doesn't carry the alc at all . Nice colour if that helps . A bit messy and confusing .
Had their 'hop Tzar ' I think it was called befor this one tonight , pretty much the same but pale instead of red colour . Both have really cool labels though
I Should of got more lambics instead

Sucking down a Hop Czar at the moment, Im actually real impressed.
I was expecting the normal over the top American throw butt loads of hops at it bullshit, but this is well balanced and fairly freaking delicious....not what I expected for 87 IBU and the first 'really hoppy' beer that I have truly enjoyed. Plenty of late hop without the buckets of oil and little bitterness upfront, it may be a little sweet for some but I like it.

Maybe I'm becoming a hop head...oh ****.

Man I love this beer

 

[beermeupscotty]

Brew Cult Hop Zone IPA - the aroma was passionfruit for days but tastes pretty awful. Someone turned a glue factory into a brewery.

I'd have to agree with you on that one. I can smell the passionfruit although it's not as sweet or pleasant as actual passionfruit. The taste itself is really too sharp with bitterness for my liking and it really sticks at the back of your throat and almost has a drying/numbing effect.
