Bridge Road Brewers – Chestnut Pilsner
Poured a cloudy straw colour (resembled a ginger beer colour) with sediment and a lasting medium, fluffy white head. Good carbonation
Aromas are sweet fruity, grassy, almost a cider style smell, and slight notes of chestnut. Quite a good unique scent. It has a real malty flavour and again only a slight taste of chestnuts, not overly hoppy and has a good bitterness ending. Nice lingering aftertaste.
A drinkable refreshing Pilsner with unique flavours and aromas.
ABV – 5.0%

Bridge Road Brewers – The Harvest Fresh Hop Ale 2014
In the glass (using a Spiegelau IPA glass from Bridge Road) this beer is a clear golden colour with a light white head. Has a beautiful sweet strong hoppy aroma, a nice choice of 2 new hops gives this blend a fruity nose. This ale has a real bitter finish and not overly flavorsome although some fruitiness is evident. Still a smooth drinking beer that I’d have again, maybe from on tap!
ABV – 4.4%
Style – American Pale Ale
Sourced from – The Vine Liquor Mart Cleveland
Brewery – Bridge Road Brewers
This India Red Ale pours a darkish copper-red colour with a generous white head. The Aussie Galaxy, Topaz and Enigma hops gives this beer a real fruity sweet aroma. There is strong fruity hop flavour with sweet caramel malts prominent.
The Fat Man is an enjoyable beer, originally brewed for Canadian export, luckily us Aussies got a chance to taste it….but only as a special release!
