  • was just about to post this, beer has mixed reviews. however for $49 delivered I am keen to give it a go (order already in)

  • Best before Nov 19…

    • Which means it's fine to consume until at least March. Best before dates are about a quality guarantee, not "post this date it's off" which is an expiry date or a use by date

      • even though its a ONLY a Best before, beer loses its fresh taste.
        So if you're not gonna drink it over the next month, it may not be a great spend/deal

          That depends on the beer style and whether it's been pasteurised. I assume this has been.

          I've not had this beer, but it seems to be a bit of a hop driver beer (floral/fruit notes).

          In my experience what tends to happen with beer is the hops flavour & bitterness fades over time. But the malty flavours come through giving it a more complex (more depth, longer flavour), but also a lighter flavour.

          I'd guess this beer would lose its passionfruit flavour over time, but the wheat malt flavour would come through. If you drink it this year it should still tastes fairly similar to the original flavour.

          If the yeast is still alive (like Coopers) then it can last for years (I'm drinking some stout from May 2018, it's velvety smooth).

    Might want to comment on the best before date in the title or description.

    I love wheat beer in summer but will have to pass on this one given the short date.

  • Ordered mine 24/09 and still shows "Processing" on the site. Called the support number and left a voicemail.

    I'm hoping the beer is good as the service…isn't.
