    In the same boat as mulder. The week got away from me.

    Box will definitely be going out first thing Monday, before I go to work.

    Apologies to my BIF target.

    It would be good to get the last couple of BIF haul pics but otherwise, I would like to thank everyone for their extreme generosity and participation. It was clearly a successful exchange for everyone who took part.

    I am considering doing another one in the second half of this year if we get a similar level of interest. Otherwise, I hope everyone enjoys their beers! :slight_smile:

    So wrap up of my case:

    PACT beer: 100 acres
    not bad, ipa/apa thingy odd mid palate though,
    really muted

    Sauce brewing: Hop sauce
    pleasant APA

    Sauce brewing: Saucey Saison
    really pretty good, nice brew
    -------------------------------------------

    Night by Casey's Brewery:
    dark /brown ale,not bad

    Tortured Gum:Majura Brown:
    Tasted like a Oud Bruin,which was ok,but suspect wasn't supposed too.

    Tortured Gum: Oinkenstine Bacon Beer:
    The worst beer I have ever tasted

    Blackmans brewery: Winter Brown:
    ok

    Blackmans Brewery: Arthur
    very thin for what its listed as

    Casey's brewery: Lounge Blonde ale
    ok

    Tortured Gum: Duntroon Pilsner:
    awful like vinegary cider

    Six string: Ram Stein bock?
    not bad

    Lord nelson: Backburner IPA
    tasted like a oxidized ESB
