Well, what an 'interesting' day. Glad I live in NZ. Had a beer to relax - an Eagle Märzen Oktoberfest beer 6% - interesting flavours, almost a red ale. Easy drinking and nice for the style but not my cup of tea.

NZ is certainly a place to try beers these days! I remember when it was Lion or DB and various (some not nice) beers 
. Unless you could pay a huge price ... even then not much variety availaible

Snapped on the Pentax K-5 - Garage Project 'Beer' 4.8% - nothing special, its good because its a GP beer but it is kind of like their take on 'Duff'.

8 wired Mahu lager. This tasted quite robust to me, so I put a good dash of lime in it. It's described as "Inspired by sunny Kiwi summer days and named after the beautiful area surrounding 8 wired. It's a German style lager that's going to get you dreaming of the beach, the bach and sailing around bays in the old Optimist." brewed in Warkworth.

Urbanaut Bourbon Barrel Aged Strong Ale 12% - potent brew, easy to drink and the soporific aspect didn't kick in until a little later. Very more-ish. Good day-nap beer. Love the little mini-cans too - nice way to have tipple-size high-% beer.

A pale ale today.

Blue Fridge Sticky Palms Mango Pale Ale 5.5% - not bad, nice hint of mango which can often get lost in a beer.

Today's ale is described as a feijoa NZIPA. I was curious about this as I love feijoas, but couldn't see the flavour integrating into beer. as it is, I can't taste feijoa at all, however it's a pleasant drink, brewed in Freemantle Western Australia.

Urbanaut Triple Imperial Hazy Ale - 14% Epic beer which mercifully comes in a cute wee can so as not to get too blotto. Really nice, rich, creamy flavours. I have another similar Urbanaut in the fridge which I can't wait to try today.

Last one in this series - Urbanaut Doris Plum Belgian Quadruple 10%. Lowest alcohol content compared to the other two but tasted the most potent - almost like a plum liqueur. Nice but I needed a nap afterwards.

Dugges Little Tropic Sour Fruit Ale 3.5% Nice beer, great summer drinking. Faintest hint of mango in amongst the sour.
