Toohey's Extra Dry Platinum never tasted this good.

Russian Imperial Stout 5 weeks in the bottle.
I said I wasn't going to open this for a year ........
I'm just checking on the carbonation. :)

Due to a lack of stubbies, I have something like 14 longnecks of this....that'll be interesting.

Solly Cerveza. I bottled a six for the Son In Law who is coming up on holiday next week. The downside was that I had to drink a six pack of Corona to get the bottles and the carry <_<

4 kg Galaxy
1 kg Rice
500g Tub rice malt syrup

20g Chinook 90 mins

US-05

Two weeks cold condition.

Lovely golden colour from just Galaxy and just 20 of Chinook you would swear there's flavouring and aroma hops in there but nope. The malt flavour is great and the rice has cleaned it up so the hops just shine. Big surprise. I'm going to make this my lawnmower beer from now on and way less than $20 to boot.

Probably too strong in flavour for the son in law but you can't please everyone :lol:

Edit: Peter, what brand of cap, supermarket? LHBS?

Thanks Foles,
Glass was brought back from the Old Country but I saw similar at Campbells Cash and Carry the other day here in Adelaide. There may be somewhere in Perth but I wouldn't know.

This is a hybrid beer using 100% Maris Otter mashed low and full of NZ Saaz "D" styled like an American IPA pitched with Wyeast 1056. It is big and bitter at 6.8% and much paler than the photo shows (taken at night).
 
Holy crap Andrew! :eek: Looks like you Photoshopped out the colour. :lol:

Are you pleased with the result?

Warren -
 
Very pleased Warren, surprised myself with this one too, while it's very pale and the flavours are sudued it's a really tasty and refreshing drop. Easy to drink quickly and the very mild malt and hop presence is balanced really well.

Whats getting to the last of my Red Rocket Clone...... :icon_drool2:

Briliant clarity.. in the daylight its a deep toffee red.... mmmmmm. The pics unfortunatly dont do it justice.

Brilliant malty sweetness balanced by assertive C hop bitterness! Dont forget simcoe as a FWH too!
