Brooklyn local 1

750 cork, 9% ale. Palais imports, seacliff pk sa. Brooklyn brewery. Bottle fermented, long lasting, fine long lasting pearly head. Belgian style, nutty malt, well balanced with hops. Tastes less potent than the alc vol. Blackberry aftertaste. Wouldn't pick it as a us beer. Extremely enjoyable!

Kirkland pale ale

5.4% fruity and hoppy, slightly medicinal. Like a cascade pale with a higher alcohol content and more bite.

Kirkland amber ale

5.7% 354ml crown. Usa. Bitter, malt, moderate hops. Billed as English style, but still tastes of us microbrew. A little too bitter for my liking.

Kirkland Belgian style white

5.4% usa 354ml crown. Citrus nose, medium bitterness. Slightly medicinal flavour. Not horrible, though.

Sapporo

334ml 5% Japan food corp, lane cove. Soapy, but evenly balanced hops and malt. Nothing special.

White rabbit white ale

Hops are there, but they're mellow. Such a mellow, earthy beer, like a lot of the Victorian ales. Strange colour for an ale, a nice drinker, deceptively light on the booze at 4.5.
