What are you drinking ?
Ok, so What Are You Brewing was a hotty, as topics go.
Now I'm 15 pints into a keg I only filled on Tuesday and wondering if anyone else has a favourite at the moment ?
It's my second brown with US-Oh05 and it's better than the forst, maybe Ikept the temps down a bit during the scorcher we had in januray

Glad I'm not completely mad (or, at least, the only one mad)...
These updates from @thornbridgekel on twitter:
http://twitpic.com/13pqzj Trying Mata Feijoa beer. Great Feijoa character with little sweetness. Dry and fragrant. Yum!
Back at the Coach, 42 hours since I last saw a bed. These beers made it back from NZ http://twitpic.com/14q1mu @yeastieboys @EpicBeer

"but he also liked Tui."
Definately renders any opinion invalid :oP lol
But yeah, I definately found it dry as well Greig - are you sure you tried the right beer?

I tried it a few weeks after it came out. Might have been first batch syndrome I guess. But I tried it stone cold sober too, and my overriding memory was a sweet feijoa-only beer. Will give it another crack soon and report back.

he never said he liked it - just that it had less fruit ester than montieth's (which he liked)
Still... it's only your own opinion that really counts, isn't it? No beer facists around here. I've said I like Stella and you guys can say all you like about that.

"Still... it's only your own opinion that really counts, isn't it? "
Absolutely, but its fun to hassle ;o)
And I also have liked Stella when I didnt have a choice, Stella or NZ draught style beer is a simple decision I reckon! I also find Stella isnt carbed to like 5 volumes or whatever highly carbed NZ draughts are at...

I am with you on this Greg...
Monteith's Radler is not bad for a drink, in the same way a wine cooler may not be bad.
I just wouldn't call it a beer either. :)

From memory the comment I made when I rated it was along the lines of "watery and tastes like it's been filtered through old socks from someone who trod on a feijoa". It smelt kind of like feijoas (which I love, by the way) but didn't have enough flavour - either of fruit or of beer - to be successful in my book.
To me it's a beer that I'd purchase once for novelty value, but I'd definitely never buy it again. Guess that leaves more for the people who like it!

Coopers Original Pale Ale
Tastes a little yeasty, not an awful yeasty flavour, but a bit yeasty.
For some reason it reminds of me of Coors Banquet beer, except for the yeasty bit.
