Friday Frothy # ??? Who knows?? It's been a while

Friday Frothy #6 (Sorry about that, i've been neglecting my duty to taste a different beer every Friday)



Up for review is my all time favourite ; Boags XXX Ale. I started drinking this when all my mates were drinking draught, because i liked the extra hoppiness. It's kinda stuck over the years. It's predictable you see, you know you're going to be met with a hoppy aroma as soon as you crack one open..

Flavour; Crisp, bitter, hoppy

Carbonation; Perfect carbonation at first pour, and great head retention

Colour; Golden

Price; Fantastically priced $37.50/Carton  Alcohol; 4.8%

Packaging; Simple plastic six pack retainer, easily identifiable Boags branding

Food Pairing: Oooohhhh, a ploughmans lunch for sure!!! Ashgrove farm cheese, particularly their mature cheddars, and some great sourdough bread...
Overall rating; 9/10...I love it.. Local, loads of flavour, crisp, clean, and great hop bitterness. It's almost the perfect beer
