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.

Gage Roads – Back Yard Brew ESB. Limited release and a colab with Grant Smith, winner of a competition they ran. MALTY, this is hella malty, roasty, nutty, brown, and English hops. That initial malt hit is really nice, then it balances out and is just a good drink. This was a good beer.

Red Hook – ESB. Sweet smelling carmel malt smell, crushed malt grain smell, light lacing for a head. Tastes malty grain, like eating some malt grains, bready, bitter orange? A malt sweetness that ends quickly in a nice bitterness. Has a good mouthfeel as well, not light or watery and a slightly dry finish. This very nice, a solid ESB with a bit more nice and enjoyable range/depth in flavour than many, but not at all out of character.

Anchor – Porter. Still good, reviewed previously.

Brauerei Heller-Trum / Schlenkerla – Aecht Schlenkerla Eiche  Doppelbock. Good, but not as good as their others I have had. The doppelbock doesnt do it for me as much as say the Rauchbier Urbock or Märzen.
