Not too shabby at all... easy to drink, not sweet, slight hoppy flavour.
5% alc.vol
Probably to challenge market share of Amstel, Heineken, Windhoek Lager, etc.

Saggy Stone is excellent. They have a beer stop on their farm which is part of the Willow Creek MTB ride, I always stop for the ale. Enjoying some Wild Clover Double Owl right now.

You do like opels so not sure I need to take your taste in beer seriously.

But to each his own

Will be swallowing liquid soon...

Huh... Not a single note of IPA. Just tastes like a light Lager . Something not right here.

Had my first Brewdog Punk IPA (not much choice in the sticks). Pretty decent. I thought it was a SA craft beer but I see it's Scottish.

I poured my first swagga IPA down the drain.

Love that IPA. Their Hardcore IPA is also a winner.

Some IPA's are too bitter for my taste, but this one is mild.

I have yet to taste a ****ty bear, except for everything served at bierfest this year. Perhaps you guys are a bit too... erm... snobby?

I thought this might just be a dud but seems it might just be how their IPA is. There's absolutely no bitterness or hopiness to it. Won't be buying again. On to the next one....

Then skip the aegir. You may well like the long Beach green room. You probably like &union Sunday IPA?

I've had a mix of off beers (infection / other issue) and beers that just didn't taste like anything special at all. The whole point of craft (for me at least) is a superior product in taste and experience. If I wanted meh I'd go shopping for SAB, which is at least predictable and cheaper.

At Checkers again.

Am I the only one that don't like the Skeleton Coast IPA? I like their other beers and I like IPAs... Just really don't enjoy this one.

I bought the gift pack to get the glass, but I will not be paying money for any of those 3 beers again

It's a little different than all the other IPAs available locally - As long as it is fresh it is fantastic.

You're probably drinking from the wrong end…
