Kickstarter WCIPA from Hudson Brewing

6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 5.5 Texture 6 Overall 6

Hudson x Fuel Brewing Kickstarter WCIPA
6.5%

Amber gold color with thick off-white foam that lingers. Full bodied and bitter piney but it does have a hint of buttery (diacetyl?). Really quite bitter and not very well balanced.

Disappointing.

Pirate Life Acai & Passionfruit Sour 3.5%

Pink-tinged gold with a tart sour fruit aroma. Medium bodied but smooth. It is really quite sour and acidic with a nice açai/passionfruit flavor. Solid.

Picked this up at Malt Traders as I really enjoyed the Range beer from my advent calendar and it looked like it was a hot seller.

DDH Pale Ale

Milky gold with thick white foam that leaves generous lacing behind. Big juicy hop bouquet with subtle woodsy notes. Fairly full bodied with a prickly carbonation.

This one is great, juicy aroma and flavor but not over the top. Yum.

Day 21

Reckless Red IPA 6.5%

It is a cloudy cool winter day in Australia today so I thought I’d crack this beauty. Reddish amber with thick fluffy beige foam and a big peppery malty aroma with piney hop notes.

Medium to full bodied and smooth. This is a bitter piney IPA with some peppercorn, tobacco leaf and biscuit notes. It hits the spot, tasty.

Golden color with thick white foam and a great fragrant resinous pine hop bouquet. Full bodied and smooth this is a classic well-balanced IPA out of Melbourne.

Wayward Raspberry Berliner Weisse 3.8%

Pinkish-Orange color with fast-disappearing fizzy foam and a big tart raspberry aroma. Considering the last two beers I’ve had from wayward brewing were disappointing this one is making me re-evaluate them as it’s a really nice tart but balanced light sour brew.

Good stuff.
