Barons Black Wattle Superior

Another one of Baron's beers today. Can't say I knew much about Barons when I was living in Australia, but since moving here I have discovered their Pale Ale and now this Wattle Seed Ale and have always been pleasantly surprised.

This beer has a lovely dark amber colour and unique floral aroma. Presumably this is what wattle flowers smell like. The head is a little thin, but this one has been in my fridge for a little while. The taste is sweet, floral, and complex with a wheaty finish. Overall, this is a surprising and delicious beer that's well priced. Drink it with dinner.

I will definitely buy another pack of this one.

Molson Golden

So I have been trying to sample all (well, maybe not all) of the beers at my local supermarket. I figured I would write a little about some of my impressions. Today's beer: Molson Golden.

I think this beer is a stereotypically North American beer. On the upside, it's quite refreshing and has a clean finish. On the downside, I think it lacks character. It has a pleasing hint of malty-bitterness but I would like some more flavour. I think it would be great on a beach trip, provided it could be kept super cold.

Bottom line, $9.99 for a 6-pack is too much.
