Gentlemen’s Pale Ale 4.8% Alcohol – SA

admin — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 02:36:57 +0000

Wasn’t quite sure what to expect of this beer with it’s very original label. Pouring it into a glass presented a slightly hazy straw coloured brew with a mild aroma that displayed hints of plum and and tropical fruits.
Tasting this beer was definitely no chore it’s a beautifully balanced ale, on the palate the drinker is presented with an interesting initial hit of bitterness on the front of the palate, with hints of fruit and leaning toward apple and citrus.This then transitions at the back of the palate to a warm toffee flavour leaving a pleasant slightly sweet and tangy after-taste. This beer uses 2 varieties of hops (Sterlings and Goldings) that helps give this beer a high level of complexity, and keeps the drinker with the impression they are missing some of the more subtle flavours.

Verdict:This is without a doubt one of the best pale ales i have tried in a while, the after-taste keeps you wondering and drives you back for more.

Rating: 8.0 / 10

Hungover? You better grab a bacon sanga!

Still no cure for cancer, but it seems researchers are working on things just as important! The boffins recently announcing that a bacon sandwich can provide relief to those suffering a hangover.

Apparently its all about the carbs and amino acids. Personally i don’t like to take half measures so just to be sure i like to throw in some vegemite and eggs. Vegemite is chock a block full of B vitamins, which are known to magically go missing from your body after you have been drinking.

The humble egg also helps by being packed with large amounts of cysteine which helps rid the body of acetaldehyde. A nasty chemical created in the process your liver uses to process alcohol.

If you can stomach them three and still feel like the walking dead, simply go back to bed your hangover is not going anywhere in a hurry!
