My hunger and need for an insane amount of laundry coins lead me to the city. After lunch at KFC, I decided to go into the next-door bottle shop for a good helping of Canadian Club until I realised that beer is my one true love and was much more my speed (and price range). Onto the beer fridges, I happened to chance upon this pretty little thing.
Excuse the fratboy content on my computer and set your eyes on the awesome illustration on the label. Again, superficiality ensued and I went for the prettiest packaged beer. Now, to drop some knowledge. White Rabbit is a little pet project of Little Creatures Brewery, aka, the people who make my favourite beer ever (I also applied for a job there and currently waiting for a response). Let me blow your mind for a second, Little Creatures brews White Rabbit, and white rabbits are little creatures. This brewery handles this ale like it was gold sent from the heavens. Brewed locally at Healesville, a town far out of Melbourne, Little Creatures transported all the best equipment from their main brewery in Fremantle and all over Europe to make this little bottle of awesome.
I've never much been a fan of ales. They're usually the fruitier variety of beer because they're fermented faster. I've never really been a fan of dark ales either because the alcohol content is only around 3% on average, but that's the fratboy talking, I'm a much classier drinker now. It's top brass dark ale at 5.2% Alc/Vol, you want to take this beer a little more seriously, it's more of a sip/slightly gulp drink.
I had to grow into White Rabbit, the first few sips reminded me of cough syrup but after a while, you get the bitterness and the slight sweetness and there's a bit of an herbiness (technical word from now on) and it's really good.
Verdict: I should've bought more than one bottle, and even then, it would've cost less than a Rosita.
not in love yet, but I'm getting there. :)
