Beer Radar for TWTW Friday 28th June 2013

By John Krüger

Forget blowing the rest of your EFY budget on copy paper. That’s no fun. The following winter warming beers we couldn’t fit into the latest Beer Radar in WBM would be loads more fun.

Little Creatures Single Batch “Mr Obadiah” is a rye porter that has a beaut spicy rye character and that burned black Chinotto flavour that is pure beer joy right to the last drop. Pour the whole 568ml bottle into a large glass and marvel at the wonder of a great smooth dark beer.

Coopers have sent out a few stubbies of pre-release 2013 Vintage Ale and holy shitballs, it’s a cracker! It’s very different from any other Vintage Ale they’ve released and possible the most drinkable so far un-aged. This year’s will take quite a lot of willpower to let some age and reveal the more balanced version within. This year, Coopers have utilised a trilogy of “C” hops; Centennial, Chinook, and Citra with a dash of Styrian Goldings. The Citra adds a bucketload of citrusy “Wow!” Nice work.

*Coopers and Little Creatures supplied the beers mentioned above
