Advocating Beer Variety
Brewery: Liberty Brewing in Helensvale, New Zealand Style: DIPA ABV: 8% IBUs: 100 Rate Beer: 99/100 Pour: Light golden or age colour with a good white head. Ahhh citra, my first hop love. I was a big fan of the citrus aromas and flavours this hop would bring to IPAs. Nowadays, there’s so many great hops that Citra has taken a back seat. […]
Brewery: Monteith’s in Greymouth, New Zealand Style: IPA ABV: 6.5% Rate Beer: No Rating Yet Pour: Golden orange in colour. With a small white head. Big piney, hoppy, citrus aromas. Nicely balanced with sweeter maltier backbone with hoppy bitterness. I’m getting orange and grapefruit and little bit of pine flavour. A nod to old school West Coast IPAs and a good reminder […]
Brewery: Dainton in Carrum Downs, Victoria Style: DDH Hazy IPA ABV: 8% IBUs: 75 Rate Beer: no rating yet Pour: Golden hazy colour with a small white head Super hazy, super juicy. Soft orange citrus bitterness and a delicious creamy light body. Each mouthful is jammed pack with flavour. It’s a flavour explosion. A beautifully crafted beer. If you can’t find this one, […]
Brewery: Zytho Brewing in Sydney, NSW Style: IPA ABV: 5.4% Rate Beer: 39/100 Pour: Light golden colour with a big fluffy white head. Little bit of hop bitterness on this one. A slightly maltier flavour and one of the more enjoyable beers in their range. Elements of old school west coast IPA along with hints of […]
Brewery: Badlands Brewing in Orange, NSW Style: Red IPA ABV: 5.8% IBUs: 50 Rate Beer: no rating yet Pour: Light amber red colour with a big white head. Light tropical hop notes on a solid malt backbone with a touch of toffee and biscuit. Pretty solid little red IPA from my old (old) home town. Good […]
Brewery: Black Hops in Gold Coast, QLD Style: IPA ABV: 6 Rate Beer: 80/100 Pour: Light golden colour with a small, lasting white head. Nice, fruity flavour with not much bitterness. Fairly clean and crisp taste. An IPA that drinks more like a session ale but at 6%. This makes me think of summer on the […]
Brewery: Black Hops in Gold Coast, QLD Style: Hazy IPA ABV: 6% Rate Beer: 85/100 Pour: Opaque yellow straw colour with a good white head on pour. A beautiful bouquet of sweet fruit aromas followed by a delicious flavour that balances the malt and fruit hop bitterness. This a beer that has all the elements for […]
Brewery: Sierra Nevada in Chico, California Style: IPA ABV: 6% IBUs: 65 Rate Beer: 90/100 Pour: Golden orange colour with a small white head. Immediately get a big hit of citrus aromas. Candied Orange and melon with hints of mango which is backed up on first sip. A little bitterness that I come to expect with […]
