BEER REVIEWS: Jamieson Pale Ale

Country - Victoria, Australia

Percentage - 4.6%

Brewing Company - Jamieson Brewery

This is a chance for Jamieson Brewery to be rid of its shame! This beer when poured is a cloudy golden orange coloured beer with a frothy white head. Extreme effervescent cascades through the beer - Not for the novelist pour! There is an excellent aroma but as the head dissipates it becomes a little skunky. On tasting this is a funky bitter beer with a medium palate that is carbonated to buggery. What little flavour there is to begin with is washed away with the carbonation. All in all, Jamieson in our opinion fails to deliver as a brewery, whilst the labels are creative there is little imagination to the beer. With the slogan " Save water, drink beer" (Not the most original) if offered a Jamieson take a water. At least you won't regret it.

Verdict - OK

Rants, information and shit like that...

This Blog might seem a bit disorganised for a while, it is still very much in the construction stage but stick around because good things are to come.

At the bottom of this page click on the 'More Beer' button to see more reviews, because we've just got too many for one page.

These reviews are shaped by our personal tastes and so you should know that both Maca and myself don't find Belgium styled beer particularly appetising and Maca is not a fan of dark beers. Also we both think ginger beers are fucked.

To see some our funnier reviews have a look at anything that scored less than good, we usually go to town on these beers.

If you feel that we've got it wrong feel free to comment on any of our reviews, we're always up for another tasting to see if you have a valid point.

It is important to look close at the beers you are buying. Many beers that you think are imported may be brewed under license and these beers are nowhere near as good as there imported brothers, so always look for the 'Imported' logo. When shopping it's well worth the small amount extra you'll pay.

You may of heard someone say 'why pour a beer? Its already in a glass' well those people need to understand is that to get full flavour out of your beer, aroma is key and the only way to truly appreciate the aroma is to pour it. So everyone pour it if you can and tell any wanker that says that to 'fuck off'.

If you've had look at this blog and are thinking... gee it would be nice to try some of these beers that i've seen here but i really can't afford it, well we think you need to get your priorities in order, however here's a top tip from Maca and myself. We brew our everyday drink at a local Brew By You, a chain of microbreweries that allow you to use their equipment and their recipes to brew excellent quality beer for only half the regular price. So the money we save we put into buying new untried beers. This is a great option for someone who wants to make there wallet a bit heavier, get involved in the brewing process or reduce your intake of preservatives This is good for your health but it also reduces the effects of a hangover.
