Hi, Yer last year was sold out so bloody quick. We will be having Oktoberfest at Duckstein down here. Their first, should be a cracker. I'm actually really looking forward to it. On the side, Mondo's is the most amazing meats specialist. That'll be ace. Cheers, Nik

Hi, "We believe Murray's Pilsner is the best beer of its style brewed in Australia." Umm. Massive claim. I will have to try this brew. Cheers, Nik

[Claydog]

Also tried the Weihenstephaner Pilsner and Kristall Weissbier. Loved the Pils, but opinion still out on the Kristall. Cheers!!

i gotta find this import stuff, im smashed off my standard carlton draught but some of this sounds interesting, gotta get on it me thinks

[skillionaire]

Hi, Just grab one each time you get a carton of CD. Though you can drink most of the beers mentioned so far by the case, they are expensive, and sometimes the flavours are so strong that it gets a bit overwhelming after two or three. Specialty stouts do it to me. So I usually only have one. Cheers, Nik

:/

Not a word of english on this single label, which looks unfinished hahah

its uhhh, unique

It has an interesting smell.. kinda makes me think of sherbert (or maybe I'm smelling what would normally be banana smells as apple.. hmm). It does not taste like any other wheat based beer i have had before. Hops maybe ?? it does have a bit of a mouth feel to it. I'm completely stumped. maybe it was just too cold, but it was still cloudy ? help!!

Just bought myself a little father's day prezzy. *Badger First Gold *Scotch Silly *Belhaven Fruit Beer *Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Smoked Beer Can't wait to try the "smoked beer", sounds very interesting. Anyone tried any?

[Richo]

Yes, and I wanted to throw up. Go suck on some charcoal (but then again, I'm not much of a "smoke" flavour person (so most stouts are meh to me) Whats the fruit beer based on ? I have had a few and by far the best was redbocq (http://www.bocq.be/e...ds/redbocq.html)

LOL, fair enough, I love smoked stuff so hopefully it'll go down bit better for me

www.beerstore.com.au describes the fruit beer as:

Golden coloured. Interesting, strong fruit aroma: raspberries and apples. Sweet and clean with notes of vanilla. No bitterness in a finish dominated by black currant.

Again sounds very different...

Hurry up Mr Postman!!

the silly one looks like it will be really malty
