Craft Beer: Tomahawk IPA and Buffelsfontein Lewer-olie

Over the weekend, we visited my brother in law, and him knowing that I loved craft beers, bought a few and had them in the fridge, ice cold. I decided to try a Tomahawk IPA brewed by Agar's Brewery, in Johannesburg, South-Africa. This beer comes in a 440 ml bottle and has a healthy 7% alcohol content. Just look at the nice condensation on this ice cold beer!!

Being a Tomahawk beer, I thought it was a great idea to take photos of this beer on the wreck of an old Chev Apache that my brother in law has in his back yard. Look at the nice cloudy amber color of this IPA!!

Below you can see the beer from a bit closer up!! Just look at all those bubbles!!

It does not have a big white head, it has just enough. This beer tasted good and hoppy with quite a high bitterns.

Below you can see a bit of my brother in law's entertainment area, except for the small bar area, he also has a built in barbecue area, which cannot be seen in the photo. I love the sun's rays coming in through the window.

Now I also know why I love beer, I drink it to support my local Leprechauns.

The second beer I tried, was the Buffelsfontein Lewer Olie translated to English, it literally means Liver Oil.

These guys plays with words, on their bottle, but it will be difficult to explain. At the botom it says "Blonde Uil"which if translates says Blond Owl, but the Uil is pronounced Ale, thus I would say this is a Pale Ale. They also have interesting graphics on their bottle.

Below is the back of the bottle, this beer comes in a 440 ml bottle and has an 4.5% alcohol content.

Below you can see the beer in the glass, it has quite good carbonation, with an average white head.

The head looks great from the top, with some big bubbles in between.

I have never drank any liver oil, but this beer surely did not taste remotely like liver oil, It had a nice citrus aroma, with a slightly bitter taste, very nice.

I took these photos with my iPhone, in Pretoria @ my brother in law's house, in the Gauteng Province of South Africa.

I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as I did taking it.
