\"Jamieson<\/a>
Jamieson 'Beast' IPA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

These guys are a popular “little” Victorian brewery, but I was distinctly underwhelmed when I tried their stuff<\/a> during my years in Melbourne. This bottle in particular, though, was recommended by the guy<\/a> in the South Melbourne Markets. Actually, he didn’t so much recommend as insist. And took care to apologise on their behalf for the utterly hideous label. Godawful packaging, great beer, he promised. And damn, was he right. Pouring a nice, slightly cloudy amber, it doesn’t have a hugely hoppy nose but that’s because they’re all hiding in the taste. Which is good and big, with stonefruity bits all over the place. And it weighs in at 7% booze, so it earns its name, as well as excuses its own ugly bottle.<\/p>\n

\"Jamieson<\/a>
Diary entry #59, Jamieson Beast IPA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Verbatim:<\/strong> Jamieson ‘Beast’ IPA. 7\/10\/08 $3.5 @ Markets 7%. Recommended by the Swords guy. Hideous label, great beer, he said. Nice slightly cloudy amber. Not a hugely hoppy nose, but it’s all in the mouth. With stonefruity bits all over the show, too. Big + grunty. So excuses\/earns the label\/name.<\/p>\n
