India Red Lager from Good Folk Brewing

1 month ago

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7

Can. Amber with an off white head. Grapefruit grilled with brown sugar on top aroma with some stewed berries and bread. Light bodied, spritzy. Some dark sugars but not all that much sweetness. Some berries, then a nice zesty punch. Refreshing.

69 IPA from Repubrew

1 month ago

7.3/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

Can, bb 10/26. Gold, a lasting 2cm white head, high bead. Shyish grapefruit peel and cracker aroma with hints of tropical fruit and mandarin. Light bodied. Lots of bitter citrus, tropical notes sit a way back. Dry so the citrus stands out but also doesn't give the strong bitterness much to sit on. Stern but good.

Gold, white head. Grainy and sugary aroma. Meek with light grain and very light grassy bitterness. Competent bland junk is still bland junk.

Beyond the Pines from Margaret River Beer Co.

7.3/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

Over here on the East Coast, we'd say "ramped up" - "ramped" would be waiting outside a hospital in an ambulance for budgetary reasons - decidedly unusual for a beverage. Very hazy orange with a 2cm white head. Not all that vibrant aroma of stone fruit, pineapple, gentle floral notes, light bread. Luscious with sweet stone fruit, pineapple, hints of pine, citrus blossoms and herbs. Bitterness is not a big feature, but it's enough to stop it seeming too sweet or tiring. Another pretty good one.

Tethered from Cypher Brewing Co

2 months ago

5.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 5 Overall 6

Can, bb 12/26. Clear golden amber with a fat cap of white head. Shyish aroma of kumquat, nectarine, boiled lollies. Fruit doesn't really sing in the taste either with stone fruit, lolly-like malt and nagging bitterness.
