Whats the best beer you've had & why?

[dirtdad]

Best beer recently has been this hazy NEIPA called "fuzzy recall" from London Beer Factory. Was a collab with Gamma Brewing in Denmark apparently. In tall 440ml cans, and at 6.3%, it can cause quite the fuzz brain.

Super juicy, full of flavour. Had a hint of something I couldn't quite pick. But now I'm thinking it's closest to a slight rosewater flavour on the finish. Really tasty.

Back of can says... Malts = marris otter, lager, wheat, oats. Hops = cashmere, eukuanot, idaho 7, and azacca. (Not sure I've had any of these hops before).

Haven't tasted yet, it was only on the shelf not the fridge at DM's, it's undergoing a quick run in the freezer now. Don't worry though I have a selection suitably chilled in the fridge ready for a home.

@droenn what brewery is it? Not obvious from the label!

While not the best beer I’ve drink, I bought a couple of 6 packs of 0% (yeah, what’s the point...) and midstrength ‘Tinnies’ from Liquorland - got me through the festive season unscathed and ready to ride on Boxing Day morning
Having said that, now smashing pints from my keezer so not being good all the time!

@Rorschach Prancing Pony - Mt Barker, SA. One of my favs!

Could that hint of something actually be beer?

Found it.

Cause it says so on the can. Actually quite nice but at $8.99 a can it is not a go to.

This arvo I popped into a new brewery one the way home, that I did some work on approvals for a few months ago. 100m off the bike path on my commute .... could be a regular Friday arvo stop off!

Somebody help me here. IPA is heavily hopped and session beers have a lighter flavour so what is a session IPA?

I find IPA to be awful. Go weissbier or go home.

Yeah.... so a "session IPA" is meant to refer to its alcohol content rather than its flavour. Being 3-4% booze makes it "sessionable."

Personally I just "session" normal IPAs but I may have a problem.
