Chris M: First thought I'd had it due to the green coaster to the top tight of the photo.

Pretty delicious. A little sweetness and a creamy/pillowy texture. Like the label says, it’s a bit of a fruit salad. Cantaloupe, passion fruit, lime zest. Some soft citrus. No overt bitterness, but tends to pink grapefruit.

Poured at room temperature and the head was extravagant. Milk chocolate, decent texture, a bit ashy.

Hoppy, resinous, piney bitter. Passion fruit and berries. On the astringent side. Herbaceous. Should have got a 4-pack. About a week old I reckon, hope it travels well.
Purchased at Cellarbrations
Simon Diaz is drinking a Zeit (Cellar Series) by Põhjala at Redwood Forest
Barley wine-like. Quite still and caramelly with a smooth body. A lot of red wine about it and without the sweetness you’d expect from port barrel aging. Herbaceous in its bitterness.

Lots of mango, moderate sweetness, bit of astronaut Tang.

Simon Diaz is drinking a La La Land by Fox Friday Craft Brewery at Redwood Forest
A lot of citrus/Citra in this, initially quite sweet, best coast IPA. Seems thick, heavy, low carbonation. LCI (just struck 5am).

Poured oily black with a brief tan head. Sweet heavy chocolate cake with a savoury molasses and caramelised plantain sauce. A bit of a round flavour like vanilla. Nice but not my fave. Room temp, 18 C; Sweetness 6/10

Simon Diaz is drinking a Crescendo - Series II by Dollar Bill Brewing at Redwood Forest
Wild Ale. Funky and acetic, honey softness, and some light smoke.

Simon Diaz is drinking an A Tale of Two Persimmons (2020) by The Rare Barrel at Redwood Forest
Had to remind myself of what a persimmon is. Waxy, sweet and squishy. Sort of like a Kangaroo Apple. You do not eat it like an apple. Beer is great. Smells sweet but is bitter/tart, kind of acetic, with wild pear and apple cider notes. Drying, tannic/wood

Simon Diaz is drinking a Strata Smash Brew by Rocky Ridge Brewing Co. at Redwood Forest
5.5% and I think it’s a good session IPA. Lots of flavour, full bodied, piney bitey bitter. Tropical fruits, melon and something I can’t quite place.

Simon Diaz is drinking an Al Dente by Sobremesa Fermentary & Blendery at Redwood Forest
Yum. Some proper tart cranberry (I’m yet to find unsweetened dried cranberries in Oz, these were fresh presumably). Spritzy, a bit of barnyard. So drinkable. An imperial high alcohol barrel aged version of this… 🙀
Purchased at Carwyn Cellars
mel k: The lack of Real Cranberry Variety in this country is real! (As is dearth of jellied-cranberry-in-the-shape-of-a-can). But sounds like this may help tide me over . . .
Simon Diaz is drinking a Pavlova Palaver by Mountain Culture Beer Co. at Redwood Forest
I really like this. Fairy floss like sweetness (cotton candy if an American peep is listening) with a a long piney bitter finish. Along the way there’s a veritable fruit salad, or perhaps Aussie Pavlova, of fruits to enjoy. Nails the meringue imo. Good!
Purchased at Carwyn Cellars
Richard P: I think we must have got a bad can. Didn't dig this at all.
Simon Diaz is drinking a Shubie by Fox Friday Craft Brewery at Redwood Forest
Nice and hoppy American style pale ale. Kind of lean in the body but quite slick at the same time. Dry and bitter, citrus and stone fruit.
Purchased at Redwood Tasting Room
Simon Diaz is drinking a Seven Southern Seas by Deeds Brewing at Redwood Forest
Sweetness then quite sharply bitter. Marmalade and pine. I liked it better as it warmed and an initial cold ipa impression disappeared.
Purchased at Redwood Tasting Room
Simon Diaz is drinking a Christmas Ale (2019) by Black Heart Brewery at Redwood Forest
Has a lot of Belgian dubbel/tripel sweet ale about it. A lot of sweet spicy preserved fruit and cinnamon apple pie. Slightly bitter, herbaceous perhaps. This is 4 years old however.
Purchased at Olinda Cellars
Simon Diaz is drinking an Apple Brandy Barrel-Aged Barley Wine by Dainton Beer at Redwood Forest
What a good beer! I was a little leery about the price point, but now it makes sense. This beer is somebody’s baby. Rounded caramel, vanilla, warm apple sauce, & umami funk. ,
Purchased at Olinda Cellars
Simon Diaz is drinking an Oude Kriek by Hanssens Artisanaal at Redwood Forest
Excellent Oude Kriek. Tons of jammy cherry fruit, but stewed in a sharp balsamic vinegar. Good colour, dry and tannic, and 🍒🍒🍒 Jackpot!

Easy drinking cherry sour. Not that bright medicinal cherry flavour, not sweet, but mildly sour and quenching.
Simon Diaz is drinking a T-1000 by Fox Friday Craft Brewery at Redwood Forest
This Doppelbock is on the dry stouty end. And delicious. Roasty dark bread crust, maybe smokey, a bit of sweetness that hides beneath a burnt bitterness. Good looking can to boot!

Earned the I'll Be Bock (Level 5) badge!
Pretty good as a tropical hazy pale. Price point though… I reckon this beer deserves the 375ml treatment.
