What are ya having yourself??

That's what I asked the man in the off license or bottle shop as my friends down under would say.. He recommended a few, and this bad boy was one of them. I won't lie to you this one absolutely hit the spot... Now the sun was beating down some delicious waves and I was chilling in my back garden, chomping on some sushi, so the setting was spot on... If I was sitting in a bus shelter in the rain waiting for a bus that seemed to be never arriving, would I have enjoyed it as much??

Possibly not, but I wasn't so, suffice to say this was bloody lovely :o)

So without further rumblings...

This weeks beer of the week is.....

Whiplash Body Riddle IPA

Review

A massive citrussy hit of this IPA - right up my street. The can explodes with hoppy deliciousness on opening, and the taste delivers on the promising aroma. Packed full of flavour.

It was really cloudy, and had a nice golden colouring. Check out the sediment in the pics below.

A toast to the sky

Now that's what I call sediment...

The carbonation was all good as the fella says...

...

This week, the food that went with the brew was a little tray of sushi....

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Sushi :o)

Can Art

I loved the can art on this one, the name captures it perfectly really..

What they say: Our interpretation of a modern American Pale Ale - Body Riddle arrives at near pilsner straw colour from its minimal malt base of Floor Malted British Pale Malt, Carapils and Wheat Malt so as not to crowd a busy bright hop bill of Lemondrop, Galaxy, Simcoe and Ekuanot hops.
As per our usual delivery we’ve packed this one out with a nose of lemon rind, passionfruit, grapefruit juice and fresh piney goodness that follows through to a silky soft, sessionable body.
