00:00  Introduction

 

04:00  Dave G joins the lads for this weeks beer tasting of Japanese beer.

We sample Hitachino Red Rice Ale and Lacto Sweet Stout, while Dave G. has managed to get a bottle of Pale Ale.

The Red Rice ale has the look of strawberry lemonade but slightly cloudier and darker, and the taste has remnants of strawberry, plus a kind of strange, sour taste.

The Lacto Sweet Stout was very lively, and explodes over USBrit, but is a much better flavor and has lactose in it, so it qualifies as a milk stout.

We forgot to rate the beers on the show, so here’s a post-show rating…

Red Rice Ale           – 5/10 for novelty only

Sweet Stout          - 7/10, amazed this type of beer could come out of Japan.

 

17:27  We spin this week’s Globe of Beer, and land ‘down under’ in Australia – listen in next time to see what we find.

25:00  We’re cooking Bubba Burgers on the grill, supposedly the best frozen burgers around!

We also add some Italian and Polish sausages and you’ve got yourself a meal!

Everyone’s opinion…the Bubba sure is a tasty burger!
