So I finally tried Hoegaarden the other day. Absolute rubbish. I love wheat beers, but this was just swill.

As for Hoegaarden, you must have got a bad bottle...I reckon it's a nice beer, but just a fecking ripoff. 4.70 per 330ml bottle is a joke. Like Corona, it has become metrosexual to be seen. I hate people who refer to it as a 'girly beer'. It isn't. It's a wheat beer. It is a legitimate beer that doesn't rely on an alcopop image to sell to those that know what it's about... I would give Hoegaarden another go...perhaps buy it somewhere that has a higher turnover of stock if possible (in the off chance you shop at a comparatively low-turnover outlet).

Big Helga... Label says 'Dry Munich Style Lager'. Id agree with that. Quite nice. And the label has a nice sillhouette of a busty beer wench: always a winner

hey guys....this thread has gone a bit quiet. Anyone tried the JS limited edition (for winter) Malt Runner? Just got my hands on a six pack. had my first one just now.
Prettygood but nothing revolutionary. Mostly expresso to start with then a deeper chocolate flavour comes out. Hard to pick up the cherry flavour (added cherry juice at the end of the ferment) but is there upon completion of the glass. Not as good as some other styles out there....am putting on a home brew of a fresh wort cerny pivo soon which based on a recent taste test from my supplier will beat this JS LE easy. Recomend drink a bit warmer than usual to get more flavours. Seemed a bit wattery to me so far. Some guys are putting this down to the brewing at SAB adelaide (Lion nathan under licence) which is affecting other JS brews as well (golden ale esp, but also their amber and pilsener which are all at SAB). Would love to hear the opinions of some other js beer aficianados on this issue also....

I actually tried a Miller the other night, and for an American beer it wasn't to bad, no Aussie beer though!

For me, I find it quite nice. I like the taste of darker beers and stouts, but I usually find them bit too much after a few sips. I think this is the perfect combo for me - not quite a stout, not quite a lager. Very tasty, I will be hunting a carton down for sure.

I got my six pack from Vintage Cellars (indooroopilly). They told me they have cartons available (how many i dont' know). 1st choice toowong (my usual supplier) doesn't have it according to some mates i've spoken to. Check the JS website for locations. PS. Anyone on here tried the very limited edition LC IPA?? I heard it was in pint bottles only but can't find anyone that has in Brisbane at all. Maybe its all run out by now anyway.....

Malt Runner is limited to 9000 cartons Aus wide. I got my six pack from Dan Murphys, they had no cartons available, but they said they can order one in for me.

Yeh I can't wait...especially with the cold weather that Brisbane has been having. Looking forward to drinking it sitting in front of a nice warm fire.

I agree, I'd hardly call it a cherry ripe in a bottle, however the cherry undertones are def. there

Can any of the wheat beer aficianados on here explain the difference between a Schofferhoffer Kristallweizen and the Hefewiezen? Had the Kristall some time ago and liked it very much....best wheat beer i've ever had (not that i have had many). Had a Hefewiezen yesterday but based on my memory they seemed much the same baring a more prominent 'yeasty' flavour from the Hefe. More bitter finish too?? All i could find was some reference to the kristall being cleaner with less sediment (hence the crystal reference..)

Moved on from dry fusions to Millers Chill now...not bad!
Also got myself a slab of 'Mythos' a while ago...Greek beer. Didn't mind it. Oh and I had an interesting beer at dinner a week or two ago. 'Outback Chilli Beer' from the outback brewery...Was a tasty beer!

I personally prefer Hefeweizen because I love sediment. Helps to keep the flavour, plus I love cloud. I also like a 'yeasty' flavour. It's all about personal preference. If you like Schofferhofer, try 'Erdinger'. Another fantastic wheat beer. I also recommend Grand Ridge 'Blonde' (no, none of that low-carb crap), which is a wheat beer with great citrus tones (my choice in summer), as well as Moo Brew's Wheat beer, which has a great banana finish on it. Stay away from crap like Redback and all that...they're terrible.
