The dark version that I supped in Budapest was rather tasty....
Go easy on the fags Vern, beer's good for you but I believe the Victorian thing about the medicinal properties of cigarettes has been called into question.

American IPA, very nice.
Red Trolley Ale from CA
This was the best Australian bottled beer I tried, at 6% a bit more about it than the others.
Another half decent brew.
Scotch ale, about 8.5% from memory, nay bad tha noo.
The tasting paddle from Townsville Brewery, good stuff, range from light ale to heavy inc stout and wheat beer.
Sanity restored
Moo pale ale from Moo gourmet burgers, moovelous.
All in all the Aussies go for a smooth brew with nothing too challenging, however there are a few gems about if you hunt hard enough.

I've always liked the look of the Moo brew stuff! The bottles and labels look really good.
It's ages since I was in Oz. Cairns lager in a polystyrene holder was the order of the day back then. Oh, and 4 litre pillows of port!

There were 3 on offer; the pale, a wheat and a pilsner. Cairns has moved on a bit DP, it's only 30 years behind now, plenty of nasty xxxx but no port pillows as far as I could see.

The local Black Forest filth in matching Art Deco glass.
We visited the beer garden next to the brewery where you could get their cellar beer - an unfiltered version of their pils - the best I've had from them.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
In a pub, meantime IPA is a weak gassy fizz served too cold and with too much bitterness. In a bottle ( 750ml bottle) from Waitrose served at room temperature it's a smooth, strong drink where the bitterness is tempered by the 7.4% alcohol.
Crumbs.

Glad you like it. I think Rob (my mate the brewer!) did a really good job with this one. Its got a good grassy pine kick, but a hefty dose of malt to balance.

I managed to find a new (to me) Innis and Gunn beer today in Aldi - Toasted Oak IPA.
Very nice, as always, quite a tight oakiness compared to the "Original", nowhere near as deep but not any less enjoyable, just different.
I like oak, I like beer. I like Innis and Gunn.
