What would happen if the Rev. Sidney Chambers and Farther Brown were to be appointed to the Anglican and Catholic churches in Midsommer?

When I watch the live feed of the NOAA Okeanos Explorer, I want to point at the black spots and say "You missed a bit."

I can't help feeling the aim of every change LiveJournal makes is to drive non-Russians off the site.

Anything can happen at night when you're driving around the mean streets of the little city. Most nights, nothing happens. This was one of those nights.

Pours a slightly cloudy* dark amber colour. The head is large and foamy, made up of extremely fine bubbles which fade away to a thick cap.

First sip: Lots of toffee malts with a faint hint of coffee. Mild hops taste at first, but it builds into a very long-lasting, almost pine resin hoppyness on the back of the tongue. Mouth-feel is medium, slightly creamy, and a little astringent, with a mild carbonation tingle on the tongue.

Oh, this is a yummy beer. It is perfect for hot Summer days. And, as I discover, hot Autumn days. I think this is the perfect BBQ beer, but I may be a little biased about this because I am using it to wash down a left-over sausage and hot mustard sandwich**. Like the Brewbacca last episode, I could easily smash a six pack of this - and then fall over because the wobbly boots get me*** - because oh boy does it go down easily. Even so, it is worth taking time to drink because the beer tastes better was it warms slightly in the glass - the malt becomes more prominent and you become used to the hops. It is very English that way.


Jaxon IPA
Badlands Brewery, Orange NSW
5.6% alc/vol
500ml bottle

*Or very cloudy if you pour in all the beer and yeast. Can't be Wasting Beer.
**Left over sausages from dinner last night. Not left-over sandwiches. Just wanted to make that clear.
***That's 3 litres of 5.6% beer!



Same again, sir? Yes please!

I should do a little opening sequence for these videos.

I have to say that, no matter how hot it is, it's never too hot to eat a curry meat pie.

mmmmm
