didn't have much time but took a quick trip to Uncle Dan's and bought a few random selections to try and get a palate for different styles.
again, nothing too flash.
so I've gone through almost all except the Delirium and the Hansa. A few comments I guess.
First off, the Weihenstephaner was pretty good for a wheatie. Not as good as others I've had, Although i'm still not a huge wheat beer fan. I can't taste any banana? Just loads of clove I guess no matter how hard I try.
HofBrau, the smell and taste brings back a million memories of waking up at 5am in Munchen and smelling the beer being made. I'll never forget that smell, the taste, the experience of being in a foreign country. I guess it's the memories that really make me love this beer.
Little Creatures Pale: this is the second time I've tried this, it has rave reviews but I don't like the flavour. I guess it's the hops? overall, two pints and I struggled to finish both, definitely not something I'll bother with again
Murrays Pale Ale: tipped into a glass, got a huge gob of yeast at the bottom of the bottle. Really just didn't like it, it almost tasted like an Aussie Pale K&K that I've done, although not as good. I'll steer well clear from Murrays from now on.
PepperJack: an amazingly good Ale, was a lovely copper colour and even though I wasn't expecting much it was beautifully balanced with malt and hops. Label has no ingredients or anything though so not sure what is used here.
JSGA: This beer blew me away, the smell from the glass was just AWESOME. the flavour? it tasted like honey or syrup on toast, this is my favourite beer right now just from the one sample I had last night.
JS-Pils: Not really the biggest fan of Pilsner, especially after the awesome IPA and Golden Ale.
Budvar: definitely NOT impressed. This smelt awful, tasted awful and kind of reminded me of drinking Tooheys New.
