Brew mow m mow mow, brew mow m mow mow - It is the real ale.

Hey guys,

This was a surprisingly good beer. It was simply a kit beer, bought from Coles (the supermarket) and using the recommended cooper's dextrose mixture. All up this beer cost about $15.

We used the kit yeast, nothing fancy was done.

The beer had a good colour, was extremely drinkable with good head. It tasted something like Resches with a little more crispness. It had a rather nice, sweetness to the after taste that really mellowed it out and melted the first taste bitterness of the brew.

Being 'real ale', as one may think it rounded out like a 'real' australian ale. It had all the earmarks of the ausie brew; no real subtlety, relatively shallow pallet but otherwise drinkable. In fact, it was very drinkable.

Conclusions: I would definitely do this one again and would have paid around 40 dollars a case for it commercially.

Tastes like: A mixture of James Boags and James Squires - crisp but definitely aley
Better than: lower shelf
Worse than: Anything foreign... well that's not true, anything imported that i have tried from mainland Europe.

Thoughts?

Tom
