Pouring this into my glass I was amazed at how dark it was, very dark for an Aussie ale, but this Balter Alt Brown Ale is incredible. To be honest it wasn’t what I was expecting. It’s smooth and easy drinking, with a slight taste of treacle and chocolate along with some nuttiness. Let’s be honest…
The Six String Brewing Co Pale Ale is another craft beer opting for a can over a bottle, and this one has a cool medieval style logo on it. Brewed on the central coast of NSW, this is a light and delicious pale ale, I poured it into a glass to see just how light…
When I first read that the Das Helles German style lager from Batch Brewing weighed in at a hefty 5.5% I was a little apprehensive that the alcohol content may dominate the flavour. That most certainly isn’t the case and this is one of my favourite beers going around. It’s so smooth and creamy without…
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…
