Why So Cereal - Mornington Brewery

This is a limited release from the Mornington Peninsula. I had to try it! Clean and crisp on the pallet, refreshing and fruity with a shot of bitterness to invite the freshness to balance on the tongue. The brew combines fruity hops with oats to creat a fine American style Pale Ale that is a fresh change in the beer landscape. The aroma is subtle fruits which connects well with a bitter almost salty dance in your mouth. A fine beer from a fine brewery which is amongst the finest in Australia. If you are lucky enough to have an outstanding brother buying you this kind of quality then you are in exceptional company my friends!🍺🍺  Scire 9 out of 10.

MisMatch Brewing Co - Benoffee Pie

I

Yesterday I sought out one of my favourite beers by one of South Australia's best craft brewers, MisMatch Brewing. The beer was their Benoffee Pie, exquisite half time brew in North Adelaide at the Archer Hotel, dark chocolate coffee tones with a hint of banana, awesome! Sweet on the pallet, worth a quick walk to warm up, the beer has a complex maltiness that is to be savoured on the pallet, this one is heaven. At 7.1% be wary, Score a perfect 10.

Brew Cult - Outta Sight

This White IPA from Brew Cult in Victoria is a class act, hoppy and fruity with a bitter finish. Sitting at 6.2%, in a 500 ml bottle it will hit you for 2.5 standard drinks. I enjoyed the crisp taste although I prefer them cloudy as a rule. The impressive after taste is a result of the fermentation including lots of hops. The craft brew scene is really starting to include some magnificent beers and I would put this one in the top shelf category score 9.5 out of 10.

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.

Young Henry's Hop Ale

This is an awesome hoppy ale from Western Australia, full of malty Caremel flavour that is not as bitter as I expected given the hoppiness. Sweet and fruity as it dances on your tounge. Lots of Australian hops combine to make an awesome experience to saviour on the pallet. A wonderful ale that makes you proud to be Australian, score 10 out of 10.
