We're getting kegs of it at Hashigo too! Might even beat Regional to it.

Looks good Jo. I'd definitely keep the bottle for while. Shame about the glass though ;-)

Good stuff Jo. I bought bottle #571 from Vic Park New World tonight. Hey looks like I'm gonna beat the official launch by a couple of days...

Jo, what's your recommended temp for this sort of beer?

The alcohol is quite prominant in the aroma, so I'd probably start it off at around 8 degrees - by the time it's up to 16 or so it should be pretty well settled in. Last night, it got quite perfumy as it warmed up - kind of like that thing you get with gavertz wine.

BUGGER!!!!! I had fully planned to secretly come down for the tasting but when I went to fire up my boiler this morning, the recirculating pump crapped out on overload - so now I'm stuck here at work until I sort in out. Sorry to all you fellas who were planning on asking the technical questions.

Damn. Will have to focus on tasting the beer then. :P

P.S There's still time!
