Boatrocker Hop Bomb IPA

This Victorian beer is a real find, high in the hops with a malty finish it oozes class with a fruity aroma. It is bitter at 60 IBU and sits at 6.5 % so not to be taken too lightly. The hoppy taste is sweet and flavoursome and really dances on the tongue. I am really starting to enjoy the number of great IPA beers being made in Australia at the moment and this is no exception. This beer lives up to its name as it has hops added throughout the brewing process and it really shows. Score 9.5 out of 10.

The pirate Life Double IPA

Really impressed with this double IPA from this new South Australian brewer. Full on sweet on the pallet with a bitter twang on the finish. Great golden colour, good head, a brilliant combination of Maris Otter, Carapils and wheat grain combine to produce a real IPA at 8.8% it packs a punch. Do not let the sweet aromour fool you with its inviting,  lingering smell. Awesome beer that makes you proud to come from this great southern state! At 120 IBU it certainly is bitter but I like it like that when the flavour is full and fruity. Not cheap but an Excellent beer please serve often a perfect 10.
