Gages Road Lager

Tried a couple of these tonight - very impressive lager indeed. Extremely easy to drink but with real flavour. Awesome.

Went into Dan Murphy's a few weeks back, and saw some beers from Gage Roads (which I had never heard of). So I bought 2 of each of their: Lager, Pils and IPA.

Didn't enjoy the IPA very much at all. Although I've never been much of an IPA fan for some reason.
Lager was nice. Pretty decent flavour.
I enjoyed the pils the most out of all of them. Easy downing, but still with a good taste and some great flavour.

So basically I recomend trying them all, but go for the pils if you can only get one.

I agree Tim, the Pils is about the best mid-strength beer I've had. I do like the Lager, and really like the IPA though.
Would love to put it up against the U.S. IPA brews in their championship.

I had one of their Lagers a few weeks back and I really did not like it at all, in fact as far as Aussie micro Lagers go I would have to say it is the worst I have had. This of course can be influenced by a lot of things and I would never judge a brewery or even a beer on a single bottle from a single commercial source...

I hear that. I have a sour taste of Bee Sting because of an infected six I got. I'll likely give them another chance someday.

What do you consider a "good" Aussie lager?

Well my fav ATM is Knappstein, but I also like Burleigh's Duke Lager a lot!

I had some in Wollongong recently....I thought it was OK, not in my top 10 but ...mind you this was after I had purchased some out of date FIBC beer earlier in the arvo....

Duke miles better I concur Kev
