Mountain Goat Brewery - Summer Ale

Number 6 of the Local Taphouses Top 100 Australian Craft Beers.

This is a very fruity beer.  I get stone fruit with cream.  It is not a big beer but quite restrained and subtile.  I'm not sure I'm sold on it but its a tasty beer.

6/10

The Australian Brewery - The Pale Ale

Number 61 of the Local Taphouses Top 100 Australian Craft Beers.

This is a beautiful beer.  It is cloudy with a nice smooth feel on the pallet.  It has a subtile citrus note with a clean and fresh flavour.

8/10

Doctors Orders Brewing - Defibrillator Weizen Doppelbock

This beer is really malty and wheaty.  There is slight touch of vanilla with a bit of citrus.  Sour.  Five spice.

4/10

Dennis Brewing Company - Milk Stout

Light on the pallet with a strong coffee hit.  This is pretty tasty.  Not creamy enough for me.

6/10

Doctors Orders - Electrolyte Forte

This is like tequila and salt with lemon.   This is a fucking mad beer.  It is so in your face and pretty unpleasant.

2/10

6/10

This is a bright IPA.  It has a nice bitterness at the start and a tasty fruit flavour.

7/10

Morning Peninsula Brewery - IPA

Number 74 of the Local Taphouses Top 100 Australian Craft Beers.

This beer has a sour milk flavour which might sound bad but it's ok.  Not great but ok.  It isn't something I would revisit or really recommend.

4/10

Mornington Peninsula Brewery - Pale Ale

Number 99 of the Local Taphouses Top 100 Australian Craft Beers.

This is a really flavourful beer.  I get a really strong orange and creamy flavour.  It reminds me of summer like an orange sorbet.

8/10

Riverside Brewing Company - 88 Robust Porter

The first thing I will say about this is that the nose id a bit tough so keep it in the bottle.  But the beer is much better than it smells.  It is slightly sour with a crisp coffee note.  It has a warm yeastiness.

7/10

Wayward Brewing Company - Charmer Indian Red Ale

This has a chocolate caramel and Manderin profile.   It has a slight tartness on the start with a nice rich flavour.

6/10

Holgate Brewhouse - Temptress Chocolate Porter

Number 13 of the Local Taphouses Top 100 Australian Craft Beers.

This beer has a really heavy malt flavor.  I also got charcoal and smoke from it.  It feels a slight bit slippery.  Ok but not all the good parts are in the ESB.

5/10

Holgate Brewhouse - ESB Extra Special Bitter

Number 70 of the Local Taphouses Top 100 Australian Craft Beers.

I get burnt caramel and cream from this beer.  I really like one but it is quite short on the pallet which is a bit of a letdown.

7/10

Holgate Brewhouse - Road Trip American IPA

Number 18 of the Local Taphouses Top 100 Australian Craft Beers.

This is a very sour beer that has very brief on the pallet.  It doesn't gave you very much in all honesty.

3/10

Holgate Brewhouse - Mt Macedon Pale Ale

Number 13 of the Local Taphouses Top 100 Australian Craft Beers.

This beer is creamy with a nice mandarin note.  It is a really clean beer that is really nice to drink.  Very enjoyable.
