1DozenBeers: Vale IPA India Pale Ale [8/10]

Vale IPA India Pale Ale

"Now this is good. It's crisp on the tongue, fruity, has a great flavour and an excellent finish. Easily one of the best beers I've had in months."

Style: Pale Ale

1DozenBeers: Bighead No Carb Beer [4/10]

Bighead No Carb Beer

"The brewer's site describes this as 'we managed something no Australian brewer had done before. Full flavour and zero carbs'. I wouldn't say that they managed to achieve this. My thought, on first sip was 'this is a bit weak'. Not a great taste, little flavour, not much bubbles - all in all, a somewhat disappointing experience."

1DozenBeers: Prickly Moses Summer Ale [6/10]

So, I got a box of a dozen craft beers for Christmas and I thought I'd resurrect an old blog I used to write that detailed different beers I'd tried and what I thought of them. This is the first one.

Prickly Moses Summer Ale

"There a few review sites around that didn't give this one a great score. Phrases like 'poor head', 'weak colour', 'not enough hops' and 'little taste' are in some respects completely correct. But another way to look at it, this is a great little summer drink for those hot days when you don't want anything heavy. I tasted this in 31c heat and it was bloody good. Easy to drink, crisp finish and a nice enough taste. The aftertaste hung around for about half an hour, but in all quite drinkable. Easy recommendation for a hot summer afternoon."

Style: Golden Ale
