ANZUShophunter	2.8 4 Pines Why Is There Seaweed In My Beer? From can (BB 10May) in footed pilsner. Pours slightly hazy golden amber w/big white head that left strings of lace. Herbal hop aroma may hint of seaweed, fruity notes ahead of crisp finish. Description said there were guava & lychee notes from hops, but these were tough to pick after just finishing a pils w/both of those fruits added. Monday, April 15, 2024
Mr_Pink_152	3.2 4 Pines Pacific Ale Draft at the Metropolitan Hotel. Hazy pale golden colour with a white head. Aroma and taste are light tropical fruity. Light crisp body. Friday, March 22, 2024

Parmenion777	3.4 4 Pines Keller Door Hazy Pale Ale On tap at the brewery - Pours a hazy gold colour with a small, diminishing, fine white head. The aroma is fruity citrus, mainly grapefruit, with some tropical notes. A moderately sweet fruity taste, grapefruit and citrus peel flavours, a hint of mango. A moderate to light bitterness and some fruity sweetness in the finish. Friday, March 15, 2024
jybi	3 4 Pines Pacific Ale Bien que cette Pacific Ale manque de consistance avec un ressenti aqueux et plat, il y a bien du houblon avec des arômes qui ne sont pas désagréables. Le visuel est sur un blond jaune limpide avec une mousse blanche et une fine effervescence. Le nez développe des arômes de mangue, pêche, agrumes et résineux. En bouche le résineux se ressent beaucoup, mais la faible intensité et corpulence déçoivent. Avec l'alcool, on en a pour 3,5 %...il ne faut donc pas trop en attendre. Le pacifique a tout de même plus de relief que cela. Thursday, March 14, 2024
jkm	1.4 4 Pines Japanese Style Lager Clear pale amber with small white head. No strong aroma or flavours. Low carbonation. Slight sweetness. Refreshing I guess and relatively clean tasting but as expected it was pretty a thin, watery and forgettable beer. Saturday, March 9, 2024

ANZUShophunter	2.6 4 Pines Japanese Style Lager From can (BB 1Nov) in lager glass. Pours dusty gold w/inch of off-white froth, earthy/floral aroma over light rice. Malt sweetness is rounded off w/aniseed bitterness. Friday, February 23, 2024
StuffWine	3.2 4 Pines Aussie Wheat Ale Pours a hazy amber with good white dense head. Aroma bready, lightly of slightly sweet lemon. Taste is... different... forward mild lemon juice, moving to light lemon rind, fading curiously to barley sugar. Medium body, aggressive carbonation, good length to finish. Curiously shandy-like, a good quench on a hot day. Wednesday, February 21, 2024
Pyobon	3.4 4 Pines Chur Bro Raw (Tap) Hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma of pine with notes of citrus. Medium body with good carbonation. Refreshing citrus start. Nice hoppy, but not too bitter, flavours develop. Some biscuit malt. Very nice. Thursday, January 25, 2024

Pyobon	3.4 4 Pines Why Is There Seaweed In My Beer? (Can) Pours clear pale gold with decent loose white head. Classic Pilsner aroma of grassy vegetable hops. Light body, well carbonated. The hops lead the flavour with herbal vegetable notes. Hints of lemon and a little sweetness in the mid palate. Can’t say I can taste the seaweed. Nice pils. Monday, November 13, 2023
Dredd	2.8 4 Pines Japanese Style Lager True to style for a Japanese lager. Perhaps a bit more eatery with some banana notes. Very easy drinking and clean Saturday, September 30, 2023

hawthorne00	3.4 4 Pines New World Pale Ale Can, 4.2% ABV. Somewhat cloudy orange with a briefly fluffy white head. Aroma of mandarin, pasionfruit, hay. Dryish and cleaner than it looks with light hayish malt, citrus and tropical notes, a little resin. Bitter enough to snap at the end. Good dustcutter. Sunday, September 17, 2023
Fazzball1	3.3 4 Pines Keller Door Hazy Pale Ale Saturday, September 2, 2023
frankcolub	3.8 4 Pines India Pacific Ale Can poured into glass , hazy and golden in colour, foamy head. Tropical fruity & citrus aromas, strong malty, hoppy taste followed by a lovely bitterness aftertaste . Very nice beer. Monday, August 28, 2023
hawthorne00	3.5 4 Pines India Pacific Ale Can. Hazy orange with a collapsing frothy white head. Aroma of tropical fruit - passionfruit, pineapple mainly - tautened by a bit of citrus, light bread. A little vacant in the middle - although nothing like as much as the mid-strength version - but fruity and slightly astringent before moderate bitterness. Pretty good. Saturday, August 12, 2023
hawthorne00	3.2 4 Pines Dark Lager "Keller Door Limited Release" means cans exclusively piled in a heap at Dan Murphy, it seems. Very dark red brown with a light tan head that faded to the rim whilst I was checking whether it glinted like a flickering flame. Mocha aroma with some roast, caramel and bread. Soft textured and gently sweet with less roasted notes than suggested by the aroma. Modest but sufficient bitterness. Decent quaffer. Thursday, August 10, 2023

sm89walt	2.8 4 Pines Pacific Ale 375ml can. Pale golden with a small but lasting white head. Pretty straightforward citrus and light stone fruit pale ale with some subtle floral character. Biscuity through the middle with a gentle grassy, zesty bitterness. Light to medium body, medium carbonation and a soft to moderate length and intensity. Monday, July 31, 2023
mkel07	3.9 4 Pines India Pacific Ale 375ml can from First Choice Liquor on 19 July 2023. This is my 100th beer from 4 Pines Brewing and I had my first beer from this brewery way back in 2012. I feel that over the years the quality of the beer coming out of 4 Pines Brewing has been on the decline and I guess that sometimes happens when the big breweries buy out a smaller brewery. This beer has restored a little bit of faith as it is the best 4 Pines beer that I have had in a long time. Juicy looking in the glass with a bright gold colour and a solid head of white foam. Hoppy in the nose and somewhat hoppy in the mouth as well with a nice lingering bitterness Monday, July 24, 2023
ANZUShophunter	2.5 4 Pines Ultra Low From can (BB Oct'23) in shaker. Pours clear gold w/cm of loose foam that faded fairly quickly, aroma of slightly sour fruit. Thin mouthfeel improves w/spritzy finish Monday, July 17, 2023

thejackpacker	3 4 Pines Pale Ale Keg at Munich Brauhaus, Melbourne. Cheaper than the imported lagers! Amber looking but somewhat lacking in oomph in terms of flavour and bitterness. Wednesday, June 28, 2023
StuffWine	1.9 4 Pines "Freshy" Extra Refreshing Ale Pours slightly hazy golden-amber with almost no head. Smell is sweet lager grains with a hint of dish washing soap. Flavour is the same. Light body, watery mouthfeel hidden by high carbonation, short length to finish. Its a lager, doesn't match a pale ale. Still, would be refreshing as a cheap lager slammer on a hot day. Thursday, June 15, 2023
TedE	2.8 4 Pines Japanese Style Lager Schooner on tap at Commercial Hotel, Redbank. Crystal clear amber beer with a thin white head. Medium carbonation. Sharp grainy nose. Malty taste, sweet finish.

mkel07	3.2 4 Pines Galactic XPA 8 February 2023. Can from Mackenzie Row Cellars. A little thin in the body for my liking. Flavourwise it was okay but I’ve had better beers from 4 Pines.. Saturday, April 1, 2023
