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.

Red Hill Golden Ale
Red Hill.
As a very young child my only memory of Red Hill is driving there with a mate to his parent's holiday house, and on the way we got in a car accident that almost sent me head first through a window.
That's unfortunately what comes to mind whenever I hear 'Red Hill'.
But lets not dwell in the dreary past! For before me is a very light cloudy ale with a zesty, vibrance to it's body. It fizzes and tingles on your tongue, not in a cheap euro pilsner way, this is actually enjoyable. The flavours are quite subdued but have a spark to them that is quite unique.
It's almost not a beer!
It's light on the hops and malt, and fizzy and effervesent and almost...tangy. Almost like someone dropped a fruit tingle in my beer.
A very strange, but interesting beast. It's not my thing I have to say, it's not what I'm after in a beer... but still, kudos. It's creative at least.
