RANK | BEER | RATING (10) | JUDGE'S COMMENTS
|
1 | Cascade Premium Lager | 8.7 | Aromatic with a capuccino head and a pilsener colour, clean, crisp, yeasty flavour, vibrant as a golden summer afternoon and fresh as mountain water; too clear for the taste of some. |
2 | Caffreys Ale (Ireland) | 8.42 | The Vampirella of beers, almost too gorgeous to be real or a Pamela Anderson cariacture of itself; intensely smooth and creamy but a little clammy at times too. Buttery and rich but it seems almost fake too. |
3 | Heineken | 8.10 | Almost thin, clear honey-blonde, flowery, left-jabby, almost a little cloying but similar to the Cascasde in colour. A genteel beer, clean and refreshingly crisp. |
4 | Crown Lager | 7.82 | A head like Waimea Bay, a pretentious beer for an unpretentious man, amber-like, where's the prehistoric insects embedded inside? Rich with a hint of beer nuts |
5 | Victoria Bitter | 7.54 | Full and firm, earthy, of the foundry, darker like caramel, almost a touch of sienna in this beer of the bar. You could drink a lot of this beer and some members of the Society do! |
6 | Coopers Sparkling Ale | 7.42 | Intense sourdough yeastiness, like coffee scrolls; you either love its distinctive murkiness or hate it. Organically overpowering. |
*About the Winner - Cascade Premium Lager is brewed in Tasmania, Australia
