Just uncapped this Amber lager. Pours clear and gold copper. An attempt at an Aussie Marzen??? Clean finishing but not as malt driven for me.

Mornington Peninsula Brown in my cup o' joy…just a fine,fine drop on tap. Can't say it transfers to the bottle though.

"What's in the can?" This:

Free out of an eski at a friend's birthday party. Oh my. After throwing BJCP instincts at I gave up on any sort of compliance. Reminiscent of poor lager attempts in the past I concluded this was full of adjuncts and has PoR added to about 5 IBU. Checked and it was only 3.5%, and tasted every bit of it. As bad as any beer I've ever had.
Ed: except Tun Bitter, it's much worse.

running a bit low in keg,so went to liquorland and they had steam rail pale ale 10pack's for $20..it's tastes better than VB/Great Northern

 

[TheWiggman]

Would want to taste better than Great Northern

 

[TheWiggman]

Return of the Dread, definitely not brewed in Geelong. A fine example of a stout. 40°C whatever, this would taste good no matter the temp. I'm always up for a stout.
Bottle says 6 specialty roasted malts on top of pale with "a good dose of Fuggles hops". It's certainly a sipper. Jet black.

Next up is Gage Roads Sleeping Giant IPA.

Never had Gage Roads before and not the biggest IPA fan, but this I enjoyed. Outright piney character and hop-forward, without being balls-and-all like a Big Eye. Good to sit down and enjoy on an afternoon like this.

too much caramel malt for me.



usually a decent hefe but was not quite as aromatic as usual



BOOM! solid IPA, this lets you know what an IPA is. :icon_drool2:

 

[wide eyed and legless]

Bought in Australia, a stout to enjoy.

 

[Dave70]

Yep, gotta be the foreign version. The other variant is piss.

Nigeria... I keep winning the million dollar lotto there.
Funny thing is I don't remember buying any tickets from there. I guess the money tree at the front door just keeps paying for itself.

PIRATE LIFE BREWERY - AAARRRGG!! IMPERIAL IPA - 8.8% - FKN EXCELLENT QUALITY!

These blokes know how to make a hopped up beer ( had no doubt with their experience - Brewdog and LC's )

Maris Otter, Carapils and Wheat Malts, using Simcoe, Columbus, Centennial and Mosaic

The aroma is awesome and the balance of the high ABV with the resin of the late hops, no lingering bitterness just well rounded.



The can actually shows the ingredients and procedure to make the beer on the top edge, clever :super:

have you tired their session IPA? It's a really good 3%

 

[Mardoo]

And the pale ale too! Damn good brewery.

 

[Danwood]

Yep, love the tin graphics and also the liquid inside. It tastes like happy.

 

[Dan Pratt]

Yep. I had the Throwback Session IPA up in Queensland on tap and its got alot of flavour for a low abv beer.

It might be an old generation phone, but the fact still remains I am publicly uploading a photo to an Internet forum on a wireless device. Karl Strauss Pintail Pail Ale.

For me, the perfect balance in a pale ale. Hoppy and malty on the nose, almost dry in character with a balance between all the elements in the aftertaste that just makes for an enjoyable beer. In a market flooded with pale ales this is what a good non-fancy beer is all about. Session IPA? Golden Ale? Summer ale? Pff, an ale made in the US that tastes right that doesn't pretend it's trying to be anything else.
