Jack McMack is drinking a Lazy Slam by Yeastie Boys at Hawkes Bay Hockey

I wouldn't get this for myself... it was in the fridge. it's aromatic and tastes pretty good. almost feels like it has some bitterness. ā bit of citrus and not much creaminess. I'm starting to think this might be a proper NEIPA. I could be wrong. cheers!

Jack McMack is drinking a Spicy Pickle Beer by Garage Project at Hawkes Bay Hockey

I think I gave the pickle beer 4.75 so I have to give this a 5. this is amazing. it's the pickle beer with pickle juice and spice. ticking all my boxes. it's spicier than chilli beers and, well, it's just a pickle. cheers!

Jack McMack is drinking a Chaos India Stout by JuiceHead Beer at Hawkes Bay Hockey

this is my third black of the afternoon/night (all in a row), and this is the worst of the three. tastes rough and unpolished, it's not smooth at all and I've let it warm up! not something to return to. cheers!

Jack McMack is drinking a Waifly 9 Fresh Hop IPA by Baylands Brewery at Hawkes Bay Hockey

got to love it when fresh hop season is over but you can still get fresh hop! this is a fantastic beer with great fresh hop flavour. tastes quite oily and all those lovely things you come to expect from said brew. cheers!

Jack McMack is drinking a Lager by Whistling Sisters Beer Co at Hawkes Bay Hockey

very slight to nil aroma and if anything, it potentially smells of a cheap lager. it's light and refreshing, with that classic lager flavour. nothing to cross the road for but definitely not worth tipping down the drain either. cheers!

Jack McMack is drinking a ROOT by Epic Brewing Company at Hawkes Bay Hockey

fairly benign in flavour, however that may be because it's so cold. don't really have time for it to warm up. aroma isn't punching out at me. it's subtle and easy too drink. it's a good brew however I wouldn't mind having one at room temperature. cheers!

Jack McMack is drinking a Gatecrasher Disco Beer by Urbanaut Brewing at Hawkes Bay Hockey

oh ouchy. not anything that one would think a lager should be, potentially due to the high alcohol content? maybe it's the champagne yeast? smells of high alcohol and it has a really bad aftertaste kicker reminiscent of home brew. ouch. cheers!
