Croucher Pilsner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We’d been lucky enough to have this and the Pale (which is further back<\/a> in the Diaries) on tap at work once, so I already knew I was a fan of this, and it seemed like the perfect consolatory beer after a bit of a Day. It’s lovely, really. (They also do a ‘Hef’ wheat beer, which is decent, and good for evangelism; a Gateway wheat, really — I prefer mine a bit more full-on.) It’s got a blunter, more bitter hoppy nose to it than the ubiquitous Tuatara Pilsner, but actually opens into a lighter, fruitier flavour. Lusciously smooth, where other pilses tend crisp.<\/p>\n

\"Croucher<\/a>
Diary entry #71, Croucher Pilsner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Verbatim:<\/strong> Croucher Pilsner. 13\/1\/09 $3 330ml 5% at home. Another one of those days. Compensatory beer. Had it on tap at work before, and I’m a big fan. As opp. a Tuatara, it’s got a blunter, bitterer hoppy nose, but a lighter, fruitier flavour. Lusciously smooth.<\/p>\n

Afterthoughts, November 2010:<\/strong> I lived at this place on Willis Street just briefly — between my Terrace apartment and my house on Mount Victoria — and while it was nice in its own way, it was very difficult<\/em> to take good beer photography in. Just something weird about the lighting. Though that strange Freemasonry building in the background does come out looking unfairly good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
