NOB , Paulaner and Mildura Beers

Paulaner munchen hellTime for a quick handful of beer views… kicking off with Paulaner Munchen Hell!

Just to kick off, Hell is the German term for ‘light’ and does not reflect on any obscure or satanic fermentation techniques.

The beer looks like a standard light ale, but lacks aroma and tastes quite sweet with undertones of chemicals. We were drinking this with a NOB open as well, and to be honest I would prefer the NOB , a more drinkable beer by far.

Mildura Brewery – Mallee Bull.

I recently went to the excellent ‘bottlo’ behind the Regatta ‘Hotel’ and spotted a selection of the Mildura Brewery offerings from the light ales to the ‘Mallee Bull’ heavy ale.

The head had gone awol before I managed to get a sip, however the rusty colour looked promising. I was expecting a heavier beer in its texture, yet it is a slightly stronger beer at 5.6% which is reflected in the ‘full’ flavour when in the mouth.

The beer is not of the normal heavy ale style in taste or feel which I did expect from the label, yet is a decent crack and very drinkable.

I would possibly stick my neck out and say this is the best ‘british proper pub style’ beer I have had out here in kangerooland and shall get a few more bottles before comfirmation.

Nick and Rob Brewery, Brisbane. NOB Beer No. 1

Oh yes, we opened one!

NOB Open and Tasting
Look at that nice beer and decent head!

The first one opened was taken from Cellar Clarke over to Nick’s missus’ place, and thus the sediment had stirred up slightly. The beer tasted quite young but was a great pint. Considering we had not racked or used finings (both are used to make the beer retain less sediment) the beer was quite cloudy, yet not overly so.

Since the above I cracked one open along side the Paulaner and had another since… tastes decent enough and cant wait until another couple of months time.
