Going to Extremes – Podcast
Posted By John on May 8th, 2009
Episode 139
We thought it would be fun to go to extremes this week. Bringing in Lucky beer from Australia and Sierra Nevada’s Torpedo Double IPA. The contrast of a light lager and a double IPA seemed like a good idea and fun to try.
For music this week we went with a song that describes the luck we all sometimes have. We listened to Jonathan Coulton and his song Screwed. Life is good, but every once in a while this sums up the feeling. Next week we’ll listen to something more inspirational from Mr. Coulton.Thanks to the Podsafe Music Network for providing the tunes

Luck Drink Co – Lucky Beer
Posted By John on May 8th, 2009
Beer: Lucky Beer
Brewery: Lucky Drink Co. in Australia
ABV: 4.8%
Reviewed: 06-May-09 on episode 140
Appearance: Straw color with a loose white head.
Aroma: Light malt with a slight aceldaldehyde trace.
Taste: Light malt flavors. Low noble hop taste in the finish. Trace aceldaldehyde, which in this case does not detract from the taste.
Mouthfeel: light body with a high level of carbonation. Kelvin described it as a champagne feel.
Aftertaste: Overall clean finish with a slight lingering malt sweetness
Overall: A well made light lager.
Notes: A surprisingly enjoyable light lager. We were skeptical of his beer. A light lager in a green bottle, albeit an admittedly spiffy one, is usually not a good thing.
