Welcome to this month's tasting notes. Get ready for a mouth watering selection of delicious beer.

This month our good friends at Garage Project have been generous enough to gift our Beer Club subscribers an extra beer -- their infinitely delicious and crushable Bliss Lager. This is their way of saying thank you to all our awesome Beer Club subscribers’ continued support during these challenging times. Legends! Bliss is the perfect beer for summer. A combination of the simplest elements, brewed with New Zealand malt and Motueka hops, Bliss is fermented cold and stored at subzero temperatures to produce a delicately crisp, clean and easy drinking lager. Simple and familiar things taken to a new level. Drink yourself more Bliss. Cheers to that!

The full list of beers included in this month's beer subscription are below. Note different beers are included in different packs. This selection can be seen and rated on Untappd here.

Refraction Wheat Beer - Witbier / Blanche

5.2% ABV

11 IBU

Brewery: Frexi Brewing

Location: Melbourne, Victoria

Beer Description: Collaboration with The Zythologist. Refraction is a phenomenon where light is distorted when is passes from one medium to another. Newton discovered that visible light was composed of waves of different lengths, and each wavelengths reflects a different colour. When light enters a prism, it slows down and bends, causing the wavelengths to separate and portray their respective colours. The bright light of Frexi brewing through the prism of the Zythologist creates a wide spectrum of flavours and aromas reminiscent of the peoples that conform them. This is a unique beer vector caused by a cultural angle of deviation.

Lime Zest Gose Sour - Fruited Gose

4.5% ABV

Brewery: Akasha Brewing Company

Location: Five Dock, New South Wales

Beer Description: You haven’t experienced fresh until you’ve experienced Lime Zest. We hand-peeled hundreds of limes to create a tart gose powered by the freshest fruit possible, for a super citrussy zing with a slightly salty, margarita-like finish. You can thank us later…

The result is a beer that's sweet and smooth and dark and roasty, with gentle touches of chocolate, coffee and cream. Served on nitrogen at the bar, but conditioned for the bottle, allowing yeast to naturally carbonate the stout for an incredibly thick and smooth texture. She's so tasty, you'll believe cows really can jump over the moon!

Dark Red IPA IPA - American

6% ABV

51 IBU

Brewery: Six String Brewing Company

Location: Erina, NSW

Beer Description: Loud and in your face this is the Heavy Metal of the Six String range. A little unconventional with it’s velvety dark red colour, hops dominate the aroma and add an intricate flavour which is balanced by the malt giving it the complexity of a metal riff.
