Recent Tasting Notes
Feral White (10/20)
Fairly ho-hum stuff and not really up to the standard that I assume this mob pumps out. It is however brewed at AIB so maybe this explains why this beer is a fairly mundane wit. Fizzy, lager-like body with soft spice character and some wheat malt coming through. Dry finish. Hard to recommend.
Red Duck "Red Admiral" Celtic Ale (13/20)
Solid winter quaffer style. Nose shows a surprising level of malt sweetness at an almost Belgian ale-like intensity. Settles down substantially in the mouth with a dry savoury layer coming through. Not many beers made like this in Australia right now.
Thorogoods "Medium" Scrumpy (12/20)
Not as sweet as expected. Apple and grape fruits to smell but well underpinned with a dirty woody note. Stalky perhaps? Flavours start out quite light but the intensity builds very quickly with acidic citrus fruits, salt and olives, and a kick of alcohol. Good enough but the bubbles version is definitely more my bag.
