    As a session ale it's right up there in my book in terms of maintaining flavour and not becoming watery relative to higher ABV IPAs. Founders as a brewery are extremely well thought of.
    Taste is a very personal thing though!

    I've been advised to try Whiplash Rollover IPA which is a session. Their DIPA is delicious so hoping it'll be good.

    I wasn't a fan of the Whiplash Rollover. It had a bit of a strange aftertaste that didn't sit well with me.

    I haven't tried the DIPA yet

    I liked Rollover and the DIPA is cracking.

    Genuinely can't say I'd rush to buy them again, but that's just me :)

    I'm not a massive fan of founders all day IPA either. It gets great reviews and most people seem to love it but I'd never be in a rush to buy it either myself.

    Personally I really like the Founders All Day, even more so on tap. Have a few at home along with a load of 8 Degrees Hurricane.

    I find that All Day is the weakest of their range. I don't think it's a bad beer, just nowhere near the rest of the vast majority of their beers.

    I drink it quite a bit in pubs, but I'd prefer Trouble's Graffiti.

    It seems a very targeted approach to push their own beers. I think a pint of Founders all day was 7 something recently as well.

    First one was a Yellowbelly Saison, Where's Wallonia.

    Not a huge fan of the style, and this didn't really change my mind.

    Next up Yellowbelly Duality, Pale Stout.

    What did you think? Really wasn't a fan myself. Had the fierce mild as well which I wasnt gone on either.

    Not liked anything I've tried by them in contrast to most on this thread.

    not a huge fan of the Duality, mixed up flavours.

    The Fierce Mild is decent, I'd drink more of it.

    I had the Castaway the other night, it was only ok.

    Couple more there, a Strawberry Sour and the Gose.

    Going to have the Gose first then the Sour.

    Tuataras are definitely considered more of a mass produced brewery by NZ standards. Which Beastie Boys? Have tried their digital IPA and Gunnamata.

    Thought I was doing well in the sampling stakes having lived in Auckland for the past year but just visited a supermarket here in Wellington and no joke, their are between 30 - 40 breweries, each with multiple brews.

    Makes me sad I won't get to try them all.

    Oh well, looking forward to some quality Irish when get home.

    A really solid Mild on cask in Tig Bhric yesterday. Their own, of course. Can't recall the name.
