Whats In The Glass (commercial)

[Stouter]

Doctor's Orders - Malpractice. 5%.
An India Stout/Hoppy Stout. Not enjoying it. They appear to be very experimental this mob, but I get the impression that they just f#%ked up, put in the wrong hops and far too much of them, and thought they'd just run with it. I place my glass sideways on the bar after this, not a repeat buy.

Flensburger Pilsner. Delightful, clean, maybe less malt flavour than I like in a Euro Pils but that's being picky. Very agreeable bitterness on the back palate, super super clear and bright has clearly been lagered very effectively (or filtered [emoji12]). Cool small swing top lid bottles too, winning

Drank a couple Sols today at a kids' birthday party. Damn kids got no taste...

In truth I was happy to have a beer in my hand and fully enjoyed them. Beggars can't be choosers, eh?

I cracked a bottle of Stone Brewing's Encore 6th anniversary porter last night.

Holy heck.

Birthday beers today, been some time since I've put cash over the counter for one.
Started with a Duvel. No photo necessary, delightful and an easy option when I want a beer I know I'm going to enjoy.

A Firestone Union Jack IPA next. Has US IPA written all over it, I'm getting Citra and other C-hops in spades. Very good example, haven't had an IPA in a while and reminds me of why I shouldn't wait too long between drinks.

Next up was Adnams Broadside. Now if this isn't a red ale then I'm not here. Aromatically it's balanced, but oh so flavoursome with all sorts of cakey and dried fruit going on. Really nice, recommended.

Had a philter XPA today. Really nice. Also had a stone and wood pacific ale after - which was ordinary in comparison.

Anyone care to have a stab at what's in philter xpa? I'm guessing pilsner, wheat, caramunich or carafoam. Hops are late and tropical. Maybe idaho 7, summer, possibly citra or motueka?

Cheers big fella, bandicoots... You guys really know how to tuck a guy in for nigh-nighs. (Seriously, just ask Cam... Or someone near him)

Apologies for the crappy photo.. was preceded by:

And a few others.

You started on the RIS and survived, props bra!

Just had a Newstead IPA single-hopped with Astra. Was really excited for this beer to try a new hop but extremely underwhelmed, had about a quarter of my schooner and passed it back to barkeep and got a Pirate Life Mosaic IPA instead - much better beer. All over-ripe fruit, no good at all to my taste. Tend to find that often with Newstead beers though - they sound fantastic (and talk a GREAT game) but the actual beers are always disappointing except for the amber. Anyone else find that? According to barkeep this particular Astra IPA has been a hit with the punters but I just don't see it.

Yeastie Boys Session IPA

4.4% and loaded with Nelson Sauvin.

picked them up at liqour land, 6pack for $23 bucks.

 

[Curly79]

Very nice! Very chewy!

Went to a local brewery been before had their AIPA and it was good, this time had the English bitter and it was woeful, won't name the brewery as it could have been the way it was kept or something went terribly wrong. Puts me off going there again but I will have to try it again in a couple of months, if it's still crap they will be named and shamed.

Courage RIS 2013 vintage. I should have grabbed more than one.

 

[Mardoo]

Where'd you get it?

 

[Bridges]

Nillumbik cellars diamond creek. Sipped at it as I watched the footy. Smallish bottle at 275ml but so very good to savor, great flavours and 10% that you wouldn't know was there.

 

[Brewnicorn]

First time trying this brew. Hawthorn Brewing co Australian IPA. Not a bad drop, not too hop heavy for an IPA and good mouthfeel. Good amount of bittering and hops still on the tongue after a hit. I've seen a few posts for their beers here - not the IPA though.
Good brew.

 

[mofox1]

Something a little spesh tonight.

Lots of fruity citrus happening, very green... the dank is strong in this one.

 

[Mardoo]

Yeah, Millennium Falcon is a pretty interesting beer! I've often wondered whether it started life as a bitsa, given the name.

You know it's there after about 3 but it is a very nice smooth easy drinking drop.

 

[Digga]

Tangerine IPA, was pleasant didn't have strong bitterness and the melon type fruit flavor was full on. Ineresting one I would have another if there was on in the fridge.

Thanks Lambton bottleo beer festival!
