1 | Buller India Pale Ale | Argentina | IPA | 3.5
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7 Bottle. Supposedly the best beer from Argentina. Colour – slightly hazed orange-gold, creamy head, light tan in colour. Aroma – weak citrus, cereal malt, pine. Mouthfeel – medium bodied. Well carbonated. Flavour – hop forward, citrusy but not a lot of in your face grapefruit. Not a lot of sweetness to counter the bitterness. |

6 | Rochefort Trappistes 8 | Belgium | Belgian Strong Ale | 4.5
Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9 An outstanding trappist ale. Colour - medium to dark red brown, clear edges, huge tan cap.

The three beers were quite similar (as their website states it's the exact same beer fermented different lengths that shouldn't be a surprise) and all hid their alcohol very well. |
