Good evening Aussies, I'm having the Pale Fire Ale from Pressure Drop Brewery. It's lovely, but I prefer the Bosko IPA.

Top marks for the label as well!

Less of a beer review and more of a heads up for anyone in or near Newy..
The Hop Factory have been doing a Waitangi Day celebration. A couple of pics from some lunch beers today - Epic Hop Zombie and 8 Wired Tall Poppy. Follows on from the last couple of days in having the pleasure to have a few of these beauties on draught - Liberty Citra Jnr, Epic Pale Ale, 8 Wired Hopwired and Yeastie Boys Pot Kettle Black. I know they have 8 Wired Superconductor and Yeastie Hud-a-wa' to come, so hopefully tapped some time this week. Not for the "Light of Wallet" as we know with most Kiwi beers - WTF is the deal with the expense of brews from across the ditch?
Loved both of these today - the Tall Poppy had a burnt toffee note (dark crystal) to it which was lovely.

It was very good. Definitely not my favorite beer though.

Ps. Please don't crucify me for drinking it from a wine glass haha. It was for a friends birthday on Rottnest Island and we were severely limited in our choices.

4 Pine Pale Ale.

PALE ALE
A colorful deep Ruby Amber appearance. Aromas of Pine and Grapefruit overlay a malt background. On the palate full bodied malty flavours with a tight and bitter finish.

Umm, overly malty cloying finish. Under bittered so not clean at all. Minimal hop aroma and flavour.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

you might have got a dud. The fresh ones I've had were bursting with hop flavour/aroma.

Problem of living where I do I feel.

Really digging the SN Kellerweis



Edit: Plus allows some sneaky yeast harvesting!
