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.

Jamieson Pale Ale
It's strange that my local bottleo has a Jamieson Raspberry Beer, and their strange IPA called Beast that blows your face off...yet they don't have this humble 'Pale Ale' which I found elsewhere.
It's maybe because this is a bit of a let down, and the other two have some novelty appeal. This Pale Ale begins clean as a whistle but juuuust as the flavour is about hit you, you are suddenly bombarded with a wall of bitterness. It's too over the top. You find this attribute with a few Ales here and there, Grand Ridge Brewery to name the obvious, and often I find it detracts from the overall flavour of the beer.
After drinking the Feral White and the Rogers' Beer before this, it is pale in comparison.
Something that promised a lot, but left nothing but a bitter taste in my mouth. This must be what it is like to be a Richmond supporter.
