Rusty Amber orange color with minimal foam but it’s a solid APA.

Y market x Inkhorn Dollarbird
WIPA 8% 32 IBU

This collaboration is on point with a big juicy overripe citrus aroma, medium to full body and rich flavor profile. The beer has a bit of green vegetal hop burn but overall delivers a huge punch of juicy hoppiness.

Tasty stuff.

Suntory Master’s Dream #37 5%

Clear deep amber gold with thick white foam and a rich malty aroma and quite a full body. The taste has a nice slight crisp bitter herbal bite.

Solid lager that’s crisp and not overly sweet. On the fuller and maltier side.

Yesterday, the Y Market Mexican lager had sold out but thankfully I had this in my fridge.

Balter Cerveza
Mexican Lager 4%

On sale for 4$ at Dan Murphy’s in Brisbane. Nice clear gold with thick white foam and a crackery sweet aroma. Light bodied, crisp and clean. The taste adds a dash of lemon.

Solid summer crusher.

As I had an excellent West Coast Pils at Yamorido last weekend I decided to give this a go:

Craftrock Glimpse 5.5%
WC Pils

Matte gold with a thick white head of foam. The aroma is fruity and spicy, but the hops kind of clash in your mouth though as uiu get sharp pine, soft coconut in the finish and brief flashes of tropical fruits.

Good but not as well integrated as Yamorido’s Skip.

This ale smells very Belgian with sweet tart spicy notes. The medium bodied brew has a similar flavor with tangy fruit and light spiciness. Pretty good for a brewery I know not much about.
