Thats exactly what i need today after lastnights effort!

 

[Bribie G]

Yes, after a Zlotopramen, a Baltika4, and Efes Pilsen, a Tetley's Smoothflow, a John Smith Extra Smooth and several pints of Bribie Bitter I've decided to stay away from Dan Murphys for another six months :unsure: It's an 90k round trip to the nearest one so I don't get there very often.

I tried that Cascade first harvest on tap in 08 at the cascade brewery. Bloody nice.

It doesnt taste as good from the can. I prefer the original

Currently sipping on one of these bad boys...


(Got it from a nice bottlo on Melbourne st, South Brisbane, good selection)

right up my alley this... good smack of bitterness. Got some great stone fruit flavours coming through with the blend of Amarillo and Willamette. Wasn't sure about that blend, just 'cause I see the Willamette as a little more English in style (fuggles) and the Amarillo a massively strong American flavour hop.

Was expecting the aroma to be down a bit, coming from the other side of the world... not much like an IPA more like a regular APA in the aroma department. Wish I could get this a touch cheaper than $15 for a tallie, cause I reckon it's become a regular. Looks great, with a good amount of lace trailing down the glass. Will get again on a special occasion.

edit: sorry about the dodgy iphone quality pic... couldn't be a^#ed getting the proper camera

Didn't this one used to be all Amarillo? Might give it another crack if it has changed - I found it a bit one dimensional and the bittering a touch rough.

Here you go... didn't know it was any different...enjoyable though

this is the reason i decided to give Doctor Smurto's Landlord a shot last week. Found this in the bottlo last week and couldn't leave without it. and did i enjoy it!!!



Beautiful malt character shone through with just a restrained hop flavour and mild bitterness... after drinking not much else but APAs and IPAs it was a refreshing change and the catalyst to start brewing some malt driven beers. Could see a few of these going down quickly in a session. Nothing too much in your face... just really well balanced... something i'm keen to replicate.

Re: Yellow Snow hopping - Thanks for that. Will keep an eye out for this version. After posting I checked the Rogue webpage and it still says all Amarillo - will have to check bottles closely to see if any others have changed. They better not have buggered with the Brutal Bitter. Easily my favourite of theirs.

Brutal Bitter you say?... after having the Double Deadguy the other night (at 9% you can understand why I forwent the dodgy photo and waxing lyrical) and now the Yellow Snow, i've become a fan or the guys at Rogue.

Looks like i'll HAVE to go over to the same bottlo and see if they've got it... if not they seem like the type of crew that would order it in.

Can't argue with that! Although the cask version is something to behold in the late hops department I'm told, I'll never know just how good it is unless I go and sample it!
If you can find a Bottle-O that actually treats them kindly, then you'll probably notice a marked improvement. The larger chain store's stock is bland, unconvincing and often dusty whereas one from a smaller store, but with a reputation for quality lines and handling should be miles better, I've certainly found this to be the case here locally. The chain stores seem to be all about shifting boutique labels in volume and don't really seem to care how they get there on the shelf...
This very beer is the one reason I persist in farting around with 100% base malt in English Pales. :icon_drool2:

You can also get Rogue from Nectar in West End, right in the main drag, and also Era in South Brisbane, not sure if that's where you went.
Drinx bottleshop next to the Platform Bar also has it.

thanks mate. I think it was Era I went to. Just on Melbourne street. Had a nice chat with the guys about the double deadguy the other day. Refreshing to find an establishment that know a little about their stock.

Yeah that would be them.
They've always been helpful to me, although I find that front window storage a little dodgy, in the sun and all. I prefer to buy from the other side of the store if I can
They have offered to order in beers for me in the past.
I think their Rogue might be a little cheaper than Nectar but worth checking them both out.

Neither is good for the wallet.
