Advocating Beer VarietyI drink beer. And occasionally I'll write about it. But mostly, I drink beer.
Brewery: Colonial Brewing Co in Port Melbourne, Melbourne Style: Sour ABV: 4.6% Rate Beer: 81/100 Pour: Golden straw colour with a big, fast fading white head. A tart and tangy sour ale. Drying and mouth watering. Slight tropical undertones makes this a refreshing beer to drink. Not the ideal beer to be drinking on a cold, […]
Brewery: Plzeňský Prazdroj in Pilsen, Czech Republic Style: Czech Pilsner ABV: 4.4% IBUs: 35 Rate Beer: 50/100 Pour: Golden straw colour with a small white head. This is a prime example of a classic Czech Pilsner. A little earthy hop bitterness to add a bit of flavour to the malt backbone. A slight caramel finish and […]
Brewery: Feral Brewing in Bassendean, WA Style: Draught/Lager ABV: 4.2% Rate Beer: no rating yet Pour: Pale yellow in colour with a good white head that lingers. Nice drinking beer. Bit spritzy with the carbonation and light malt and hop flavours. I could easy have a keg of this on tap at home to be pouring […]
Brewery: Feral Brewing in Bassendean, WA Style: Oaked Pale Ale ABV: 5.8% IBUs: 48 Rate Beer: 95/100 Pour: Golden yellow colour with a perfect white head that holds. Feral have taken their famed Hop Hog and stuck it in oak barrels to age and bring out the flavours even further and give the beer a silky […]
Brewery: Rogue Brewery in Oregon Style: American Lager ABV: 4.2% IBUs: 14 Rate Beer: 47/100 Pour: Light straw colour with a big white head that settles in. True to style with bready, malty notes and a thin flavour. Inspired by a dream and proceeds to resurrect a local skate park, this tall boy is perfect for […]
Brewery: Brooklyn Brewery in Brooklyn, New York Style: Sour ABV: 4.5% Rate Beer: 44/100 Pour: Rich yellow colour with a thin white head. Soft, refreshing and tart flavour. Slight tropical notes and quite quaffable. You know I’ve never really used that word before. Never liked it but here we are in isolation and trying to do […]
Brewery: Bridge Road Brewers in Beechworth, Victoria Style: Saison ABV: 6% Rate Beer: 74/100 Pour: A pale straw colour with no real head on pour. Some days you just feel like drinking a saison. This one embodies the classic farmhouse ale with light body, minimal hop flavour, but enough to give it depth. A good beer […]
It’s Autumn so that means one thing. Red IPA season!
