Beers – 14/10/16

Anchor Brewing – California Lager. This is good, but todays didnt remind me of my first – which I thought was amazing. Maybe this one was a bit old. It felt a bit dulled and the malt was down and the bitterness quite one note. I will try this again, as it is great and Im sure this was just a bit of a dud.

Mornington Peninsula –Mosaic Single Hop IPA. This is Tinnage 007. A nice single hop IPA. I do like mosaic hops but more for smell/flavour etc, the bitterness is there and it OK but not that enjoyable to me.

Deschutes Brewery – Fresh Squeezed IPA. This smells a bit funky hops and its just Mosaic with Citra. A bit old this one, the hops are dull, the smell could be better. The beer itself seems pretty reliant on it being hoppy, theres not much else I can see going on, and the age had left the hops with only a blah bitterness. Will have to try again with a fresher bottle.

Cheeky Monkey – Southern Wailer Hop Flinger West Coat IPA. Still good, still fucking hoppy.

Anderson Valley – Briney Melon Gose. Still great.

Mornington Peninsula Brewing – Dogs Bollocks Nitro English Special Bitter

Anderson Valley – Briney Melon Gose

Timothy Taylor – Landlord Pale Ale

Shepherd Neam – India Pale Ale

CUB – Melbourne Bitter

Adnams – Ghost Ship  Pale Ale

Had a Dogs Bollocks and a Melon Gose still around. Still loving that nitro carbonation.

The Landlord Pale ale was good, same for the Shepherd Neam IPA and the Adnams Pale Ale. Been reading Shut Up About Barkley Perkins a lot.

Melbourne Bitter is better than VB and Export.

Also had a 4 Pines Kolsch, a Founders All Day IPA and a Tooheys Old.

Beers 12/8/16

Sierra Nevada – Hoptimum IPA

Founders – Mosaic Promise Single Hop Ale

Mornington Peninsula Brewing – Dogs Bollocks Nitro English Special Bitter

Anderson Valley – Briney Melon Gose

Been over IPA’s for forever now, no Idea why I still buy them. Hoptimum was peppery, very hop bitter.

Mosaic Promise wasnt bad, but I didnt get a sense of Mosaic, unless its a standard Founders hop and then its just a common hop taste…
