Brewery: Five Barrel Brewing in Wollongong, NSW Style: Christmas Ale/Spiced Ale ABV: 7% IBUs: 35 RateBeer: No rating yet Pour: Ruby red in colour with a think cream head I dare say there was a large man dressed in red at the end of a busy Christmas Day sitting back with this beer and thinking ‘thank god it’s over for another year’. I also reckon Santa would’ve loved this one as … Continue reading Five Barrel Brewing – Christmas Ale
Brewery: Hawkesbury Brewing in Brooklyn, NSW Style: Pacific Ale ABV: 4.2% IBUs: 18 RateBeer: No rating yet Pour: Slight mandarin tinged yellow colour. Small hard on pour. Crisp, clean ale with a slight fruit hop bitterness. I still say Stone & Wood own the pacific ale style and this is closer to a hoppy summer ale. Good beer to have after a busy Saturday morning running around taking the kids to … Continue reading Hawkesbury Brewing – Pacific Ale
Brewery: Five Barrel Brewing in Wollongong, NSW Style: IPA/NEIPA ABV: 6% IBUs: 20 RateBeer: No rating yet Pour: Creamy yellow colour with a milky white head My milkshake brings all the boys to the bar/you’re damn right/it’s better than yours. I really didn’t want to do that as much as I had to do that. This is a delicious hazy IPA. Heaps of fruity hop flavours. Subtle carbonation and very, very … Continue reading Five Barrel Brewing – Milkshake IPA

Brewery: Hawkesbury Brewing in Brooklyn, NSW Style: Pale Ale ABV: 4.2% IBU: 26 RateBeer: No rating yet Pour: Bright yellow hue with a small white head on pour I think this is more closer to a pacific ale than the one I had the other day. Very clean with subtle stone fruit in the hop profile. I only bought this one because the label had my name on it. Continue reading Hawkesbury Brewing – Pale Ale
Brewery: Young Henry’s in Newtown, NSW Style: IPA ABV: 6.0% Rate Beer: 72/100 Pour: Light golden colour with a big fluffy head that sits for a while Improving their standard Hop Ale with seasonal flavours. I really liked their winter Red IPA and their previous summer IPA was a fruity punch and nice bitterness. This one has less fruitiness but does marry the modern west coast … Continue reading Young Henry’s – Summer Hop Ale
Brewery: Mudgee Brewing Co in Mudgee NSW Style: Pale Ale ABV: 4.4% Rate Beer: 13/100 Pour: Orange yellow colour with no head Lacking a little carbonation and quite sweet for a pale ale. It has a small hop bite but otherwise a little too homebrew for my liking. Having said, it does go down well while I’m prepping a home brew, so there’s that.
