Had the pleasure of sampling a different beer this evening. Never seen this one before let alone try it...but the wait was well worth the trouble, it is most pleasant.

Cheers, Vince

I don't know if it will make it that far but if you ever get New Belgium 1554 give it a try it is alot darker then it tastes it is very smooth

I've tried the 1554...very nice. My mate belongs to a group called the Beer Masons out here... www.beermasons.com/

They send out a mixed box of beers each month...all hard, if not impossible, beers to procure in Australia.

Cheers, Vince

Sorry Elvis...very rude of me, not to mention slack and idle, to miss replying to your post mate.

The taste was very nice...a slightly darker brown ale with nice body and lingering after taste. Not as "bright" or "crisp" as Tooheys Old...closer to a stout without being as full bodied or heavy. All in all, a rather easy and pleasant beer to drink on a warm afternoon.

Cheers, Vince

No mate...not all are good. We tried one particular European beer (the name escapes me at the moment) that has a balsamic flavour to it...bloody terrible....I took one mouthful and dumped the rest. Horrid shite, never again.

One rather nice beer that I find far too easy to drink on a hot afternoon is Carlton Dry Infusion. The infusion of lime is very refreshing and pleasant.

Cheers, Vince

Yeah mate there had to be at least one bad one, and how much looking did it take to find it. Theres a lot more good than bad.

How much looking...well let's see...I'm 59 now and I've only ever found one crook beer...a damn long time and many, many beers. Very Happy

Cheers, Vince

If you can find it try some speights summit. Its a lager and VERY easy to drink.

+1 on the Summit Lager!
Not a bad drop at all, like most of the South Island Beers Monteiths, Macs etc

I'm definitely going to have to find some of this elixir and sample it from the way you guys are laying down the praise.

Cheers, Vince

My favourite style of beer is IPA & the stronger stuff at that.
I really like a beer with a good bite to it.

Vince,
obviously the radiation treatment didnt trash your taste buds.
I cant tell the difference between beers anymore, you could give me a crownie in a glass and later slip in a southwark and I'd probably be none the wiser. (and what a horrible thought that is btw)
If this wasnt the case I'd be asking questions about your beer masons and get the secret handshake and carton deliveries sorted.
