German Chocolate Cake Stout by Untitled Art. It tasted fine (chocolate, coconut...) but it was one of the lightest stouts I've ever had and the taste fled really quickly. (4.13 on Untappd). Not one of theirs I would get again.

Polished off the Pale ale and hazy pale ale.

Just have the hoppy pilsners left. Great 6 pack of basically cheap craft beers.

Think I've done this one before.

Back of the can. 7.5ish out of ten it's nice the others were better


Hoppy pilsner aka NZ pilsner. This is a good one as well.

Used to buy this one a bit.

As the handle says BRB Pilsner.

Completely not exciting boring lager slightly sweet lingering aftertaste. Acceptable but not great perfectly adequate.

6.75/10 being generous.If buying from the supermarket it's closer to seill prices though so it's a decent cheap beer.

Better than the usual NZ swill beers but not by much. Should have got the supercharger it's only a $1 more lesson learnt.

Would probably rather drink aBud and would have to think about it vs Heineken. Problem is Krombacher is also a cheap beer.

Gonna lower this to a 6 just kinda don't want it.

What one should I sample first?



Sold out of Emersons so bought a different 6 pack variety.

Eh, hazy is lazy. I'd reach for the hefeweizen.

Okay, last night I had this IPA that was flat out delicious, but I swear it knocked me on my [naughty word]. Seriously--I was bouncing off the walls of my house after ONE 12-oz BOTTLE. It's called Dogfish Head 120-minute IPA. One of the most complex flavors I've experienced in an IPA and had it not put me onto the floor, I would've run out to the store and bought a six-pack. As it is, I just can't see making a habit of something that strong.

EDIT: I just looked it up: 20% ABV. So yeah--proceed with caution.

20% is a lot for beer. Strongest I've had is 12%, strongest I've liked is 10%.

I was so very unprepared for what that brewery had in mind...
