Beer 6 - COOPERS Best Extra Stout....first time. Just had to try another Stout while the Cascade was fresh in my mind.
This one reaffirms what I thought a Stout should be like! It seems to have much more substance....and a real bitter edge to it. Definitely like this one!
Thought for the Day....Choose today's actions wisely - they create tomorrow's memories and your future reality!
Beer 5 - CARLTON DRY....first time. Boring!
With all the money they're throwing at the ad campaign, maybe I was expecting something more. But this beer is about as exciting as Steven Segal...seriously!
It had very poor head retention, and little flavour. Seriously lacking in character.....which probably makes it easily drinkable to the masses. Hey if it was on special it would serve it's purpose!
Thought for the Day....Worst analogy ever "Is the glass half full or half empty?" What the? If it was full when you started, then now it must be half full. If you're expecting to drink all of it, then it must be half empty. Positive thinking has no relevance. Both answers are correct!
Beer 4 - Budweiser....first time - interesting.
Extremely light in colour. For a full strength beer surprisingly light in aroma and taste - almost bland....though that might be a bit harsh.
Very crisp and easy to drink. Interesting use of rice in the brewing process probably creates the extra light colour and unique flavour.
Thought for the Day - How good is Junior Master Chef? (not that I watch it). Our 12yo daughter is now cooking mains......Cottage Pie for dinner last night. YUM!
Beer 3 - MILLER Genuine Draft....first time - what a good selection!
Full bodied with great heat retention. Dominant yeast smell, perhaps a little light on hops flavour....but very easy to drink!
Will definitely be revisiting this one.
Thought for the Day....How great it is catching up with family and friends. Religious or not - Christmas is the best time of year!
Beer 2 - BARECOVE RADLER - glorified shandy...not that there's anything wrong with that!
Had a few of those Barefoot Radlers a couple of years ago and quite enjoyed them.
Probably not for the serious beer fan...strong hint of lemonade and poor head retention. Refreshing just the same!
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - Gotta love a Queensland summer....great beer drinking weather!
Beer 1 - STEINLAGER PURE....first taste.
Quite a strong yeast smell caught me off guard, though the flavour was surprisingly subtle.
Very light in colour, crisp and easy to drink - perhaps lacking a little in character.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - It's great to experience new things in life!
Getting close...warming up.
Beer 1 - CASCADE STOUT (smooth & rich).....so it says
Sorry, did't find it particularly smooth or rich. Lacks flavour and body for a stout.
THOUGHT OF THE DAY......"First Xavier, then Ricky, now Cascade.....not a particularly memorable month for Tasmania!"
