Sweet, fruity, refreshing. 4.5 means you can give it a belting. Easy drinker, hoppier than the other one.
Esb style bitter, ale-y colour and viscosity. Sweetwater is a good shout.
It's sweet and mild, but packs a punch at 5.2%. Goblet, 330ml crown seal. Mount beauty. Balances hops and malt evenly, and is refreshing for its darkness.
And now it's time to pass the mic to rauch! Nowhere near the Bacon reek of schenklera, but it brings the smoke flavour. Less length than bamberg's meat fest, but that was a life changing experience. Three rivers thornbury, 5.2% 330ml.
Nutty, malty, some berries. Not a huge fan of the darker stuff, but this balances mellow and bitter. Almost a blackberry colour. 4.7%, 330ml, 2 brothers, moorabbin.
Toffee and caramel in an English style amber. Could easily be underestimated, but there's more flavour than first thought. Almost Belgian, and that's high praise indeed. Same as pale rider, but 4.9%
Crisp, hoppy pale, thin light head, but I fucked the pour up pretty badly. Drunk in goblet. 330ml crown seal, 5.6%, purrumbete brewing company, camperdown, vic. Didn't knock the socks off.
Deep and dark. It's a porter, dumbass. Thin, light head. You do get the chocolate, and it's dark and mellow. Then comes the alcohol. 6% one of the better porters I've put down, because I'm not a huge fan of the variety. Mellow, mellow, mellow. Goodnight, ladies.
Excellent pale ale colour, pearly, creamy head. Hoppy on the nose, then aromatic on the first sip. 5% they say grapefruit, and they're right, it's there. maybe a little mellower than some pales, but that might be because those hoppy alleged ipas nuked my tastebuds. Decent, but not one to totally chase.
Belgian witbier, apparently. Nose is peachy, and the flavouring is sweet and less grassy than a lot of the wheat beers out there. Thin, fine head, and the usual straw colour. Far easier to drink than the others in this session, mainly because it has far less hops. Half pint, 5.5%
Again, ipa? Aromatic, fruity nose, less hoppy than the Stella, and more drinkable. Half pint, bridge road brewery.
Ipa? Surely far too light. Again, juniper/passionfruit tones through the hops. Doesn't seem to be much behind the skunky hops. You just don't do it for me, friend. Bridge road brewery. Half pint.
Burleigh brewery qld, 330ml crown. 4.8%. Slightly chemical flavour, but strawberry also comes through. Hoppy, drinkable, but not something I'd bother chasing.
Pint, 5.4%, English bitter style lager. Crisp and hoppy, finishes dry. nose smells of passionfruit pudding or even the distant whiff of passiona, and the flavour comes through. Brewed in Victoria.
Juniper flavour that comes through some ales came through with a burp!
