    <p>I still go between Waikato, Panhead Blue and Garage Project 'Beer'</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I love one of the Emersons too. The Pilsner I think it is.</p>

    <p> </p>
    <p>Had a crack at these bad boys. Not a bad Pale Ale, more on the bitter side, perhaps a tad fruity? Good for the price. Has sessionability. However they seem to have some issues with consistency, i have had a couple of bottles in the carton that tasted noticeably different to the others</p>

    <p>If you feel like splashing a bit on those wildly expensive beers i was railing against earlier, it would be hard to go past these bad boys. They come in packs of 4 for fucks sake, and still cost $20. But it tastes awesome</p>

    <p>You have to try Rocky Knob when you come back home for a holiday then, had one last week and boy it was good. In true beer piston wristed gibbon style I poured it and let it sit in the jug for a few minutes which I'm fairly certain does nothing for the taste but feels right to do so with such a top quality drop.</p>

    <p>Had a beer disaster over the weekend. Chucked a couple in the freezer and forgot about them and put them on the bench to hiff out.  True-love sees them and throws them in the fridge.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I go out to the farm and grab acouple of cans as I will be a while and of course grabbed the two that had been frozen (hadn't buckled). Got to otherside of farm and cracked one to have a really cold flat beer.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Was gutted as it took a while to get through and then I had a not so cold flat beer to follow up!</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>These are the life problems I get stuck with!!!</p>

    <p>I reckon you probably have it right with what you drink. That 'Beer' from Garage Project is a well made drop.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>But if you can drink Waikato I can't understand how you could find any non-Australian beer terrible.</p>

    <p>Well, you could say that.....or you could say they're taking the piss and charging 3.99 a can for something which is basically identical to Macs Gold.</p>

    <p>'Beer' is a nice clean crisp brew. They purposely set out to make a 'straight' Pilsner type with good ingredients but not trying to be clever in any way. I think they succeeded well.</p>
    <p>Macs Gold is more malty than Beer.</p>
    <p>The biggest difference is that it is properly brewed and not a 'malt liquor'.</p>

    <p>Macs Gold might not be the best example granted but it is still pricy for what it is.</p>

    <p>I finally tried Orange Panhead and the first dip into it was awful and I regretted my purchase. But by the time I got to the end of the bottle, I was quite enjoying it. To be fair, I haven't found an APA that I have liked but that was one I didn't mind.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Still prefer the Blue one but I think Iyou be hard pressed to find an APA that I would enjoy.</p>

    <p>Still appreciate the tip</p>

    <p> </p>
    <p>Had me the Orange tonight, and quite liked it, will have to get the Blue next...</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I have a home brew wheat beer that is ready to drink from tomorrow, so that will be interesting! </p>
