One of the perks of being on the ANHC committee is that we got to help ourselves to the leftovers beers from the West Coast Brewers, because their kegs weren't going back to Perth with them.

Amidst the mad scramble I managed to score myself what was left of Asher's Oktoberfest.

I can see why this guy is the Champion Brewer of WA.

It's a beautifully crafted beer, leading with honey, fresh caramel and cream cheese on the nose, backed up with a touch of milky sweetness on a really round, pillowy palate. What really works for me though is the late smack of noble hops which clears it all out and makes you go straight back for another mouthful.

A top beer - thanks Asher!
