This is Part 2 of Eli reviewing the\u00a0BoozeBud Advent Calendar<\/a> for Christmas, which is apparently the best gift I have ever given her! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Days 6 – 10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Day 6:<\/strong>\u00a0Temple –\u00a0Powerstance Pilsner. Went down too quickly to have an opinion! “It was nice.” – Eli<\/strong><\/p>\n

Day 7:<\/strong> Stockade Brew Co. – 8bit India Pale Ale. This one gets points for its cute logo! Not very hopsy, but still bitter enough.<\/p>\n

Day 8:<\/strong> Holgate brewhouse – Extra Strong Bitters. Nothing special. Not my favourite.<\/p>\n

Day 9:<\/strong> Mountain Goat Beer – Fancy Pants. This beer is literally called ‘Fancy Pants’. Tiny head, dark colour. Not my flavour, not bad.<\/p>\n

Day 10:<\/strong> Balmain Brewing Company – Originality Pilsnar – Nice. Hoppy, but just the right amount. Could go another.<\/p>\n

It was a close call between Day 6 and Day 10. Day 10 may have suffered because Eli simply had to drink it with Day 11 due to going out to a work Christmas party!<\/p>\n

Temple –\u00a0Powerstance Pilsner<\/strong><\/p>\n

Temple’s Powerstance Pilsner is brewed with 100% German Pilsner malt and noble German hops. This pilsner displays complete traditional characteristics, true to style. An 8 week lagering period ensures a smooth, full flavoured pilsner with a slight malt sweetness and a crisp, dry finish backed by a firm spicy bitterness.<\/p>\n
