THIS JOURNEY IS NOW COMPLETE! This was a challenge I undertook from Feb 2011 to Feb 2012. Thanks to everyone that kept me going! Feel free to read through and comment, I am now also periodically adding reviews here as I sample other beers that I did not come across during the challenge.

James Squire Sundown Lager
Here we have James Squire's offering of a lager. It's no secret these guys are one of my favourite breweries hands down, but they have a penchant for ales, not lagers.
It's rare that I drink a lager that makes me say 'Wow'. The most recent one I had was the 'Big Helga' from Matilda Bay. And the most recent it will remain.
This is a great lager, for sure, but it's only just poking it's nose in front of the pack rather than standing out.
The label describes it as a 'thirst quenching lager', and they're right. It's clean and sharp, but has a largely subtle bitterness to it's aftertaste opposed to most lagers.
Not the best lager, but still found in the canopy rather than the floor.
8/10
