Beer and Cider of the Week


Original Apple Cider - 4.5% - Redoak Australia - mouth puckeringly bitter and lots of 220 (sulphides) even though the label says " minimum 220 used ". They use "220" on the label as a way of not saying "sulphides". That said given how good their beers are I am willing to say this may have been a bad bottle a give it another try.

Mango Beer - 4.5% - Matso's Brewery Broome Australia - With a mango aroma and big mango taste it's more like eating a mango than drinking a beer with just the barest malt taste.

Saison - 5% - Brasserie De Silly Belgium - Amber colour and caramel notes combined with a slight sour taste remind me more of a Trappist or Abbey Ale than a Saison. It's very sweet and easy to drink with none of the esters that you would expect to find in a Saison.

Disclaimer : We are not recommending these beers, merely commenting on ones we have found in bottle shops.
