Cider can be sweet, very sweet. There’s no hiding away from the fact it’s delicious, especially over ice on a hot afternoon in the sunshine. But it’s sweet. Enter Pure Blonde Crisp Apple Cider… which is aiming to solve that sweet little problem. You may or may not know Pure Blonde as a low carb…
Feral Brewery – ‘Boris’ Russian Imperial Stout is a big bad beer. It will knock your socks off, in fact it will knock your shoes and socks off. It has the potential to knock your head off. Why? It’s 9.1% and tastes every bit as strong as it sounds. The stout flavour is delicious, dark treacle…
If I called Ironbridge Brewing Company’s A Fistful of Barley Pale Ale an entry level Pale Ale would you know what I mean? It’s pretty tame on flavour but gives you a stepping stone onto the hard stuff. That sounds like I’m trying to get you hooked on some serious gear, but it’s a pale ale,…
Have you ever noticed how small the opening is to the top of the bottle of Asahi? No? Just me? Next time you have a bottle, look! Asahi Super Dry is one of those beers that tastes delicious on tap in one of those posh glasses out of the fridge at the pub. But I…
I remember first trying Cricketers Arms Spearhead Pale Ale in Melbourne ages ago. When I found it in NSW again recently I had to try it again. From memory it was really good, and that was the case again when this time. It’s not as strong in flavour as other Pale Ales, but it’s got…
If you’re the type of person that buys a new beer because of the label, then it’s likely that at some point you will find yourself with Hairy Mary Pale Ale in your fridge. It looks great, but sadly that’s the high point. I found this pale ale pretty bland in flavour compared to others out…
Dark, caramely, smooth bittery flavours. This is as tasty as it is thirst quenching. I would go as far as saying this is my favourite Lord Nelson brew. There’s no bitter aftertaste, but there’s plenty of taste when you drink this delicious beer. Lots of malt, almost a sweetness to it, I would highly recommend…
If, like me, you’re in your late thirties, have a child, and aren’t exactly ‘pub fit’ then you can definitely be forgiven for feeling a little light headed after a bottle of this Young Henry’s Hope Ale. It’s delicious, packed full of flavour but at 6% made me notice the strength as soon as I…
For a beer that brand itself as being a ‘knock out cold’ it’s surprisingly mild in flavour. Saying that, Murray’s Angry Man Pale Ale isn’t unpleasant, it’s just not one of those face slappingly fruity pale ales which are prevalent these days. It’s tasty and light on the palette, would match well with most foods…
I’m not usually one to categorise beers on when you should drink them because of the weather, mainly because I don’t want to miss out on my favourite brew because it’s just clicked over 20 degrees. I will however make an exception for this Prancing Pony Amber Ale. That’s because it’s deliciously warming and tasty,…
