I'm confused....is this beer or wine? The stubby tells me this brewery (core business is Winery) is based in the Clare Valley. So I was immediately suspicious. On popping the cap there was an immediate fruity aroma of grapes. And surprisingly....not...it poured and extremely pale colour - a marginally darker hue than white wine.
Easy enough to drink - it just doesn't have the characteristics of beer I've come to expect. I even got Trish to give me a second opinion and she agreed, "Yep, smells like wine"! But as far as wines go - I like it (because I don't like wine at all).
Despite their debateably intelligent and undoubtably successful transition into the beer market - Knappstein should stick to wine....it's obviously their target audience. I've been unable to track down an ingredient list online, but have come across many positive reviews from punters. They're mistaken - calling this one of Australia's best Lagers.....it is quite simply not a lager!!
My rating.....2
Thought for the Day......Cyclone YASI......Oh my GOD. Stay safe in North Qld!!!
