Temple Brewing Co – Anytime IPA

Temple Brewing Co – Anytime IPA

This IPA pours a golden amber colour with a large tan head that settles down. Has a real sweet flowery citrus aroma from the use of ½ dozen or so hops. The hops make this beer well bittered, could probably do with a heavier hit of flavouring hops. Although there are sweet flavours to this beer, malty and hints of citrus.

Medium to light bodied beer. Not a heavily hopped IPA, but then again it’s been made to be a sessional drinker or as the name says – Anytime IPA!

BrewCult Magic Rock Brewing – Salt Dick IPA

Salt Dick IPA

A collaboration beer between the two breweries, this beer pours a cloudy golden colour with a white bubbly head that sticks around. It has a tropical citrus aroma due to the use of the UK Pilgrim hops and the new Aussie Enigma hops. It has a nice flavour balance of malt and hops, not overly bitter (not heavily hopped). Quite a sessional ale with a sweet lingering aftertaste.

A unique name for a beer – nothing phallic – it’s actually an Afrikaners term (in this case) for someone (or something)  that has one foot (brewer) in the UK and the other foot (brewer) in South Africa (Australia) and their dick dangling in the ocean.  Fortunately the bottles artwork doesn’t show the third leg!

Thomas Cooper’s Selection Celebration Ale

Cooper’s Celebration Ale

Twist Top! Pours a cloudy copper colour with a short lasting head, although well carbonated as you’d expect from this established brewery. The malt aromas come through more than the fruity hops scent. Has a mild malty sweetness, and a slight fruity hop bitterness.

Not a bad beer, but I prefer a beer with more flavour and heavier hopped.
