Beer reviews
Hahn Special Vintage Ale 2000
Big map
Like an average homebrew
Deep red color, but has an astringency that we associate with Pride of Ringwood hops. Lively beading. “It tastes like a homebrew, and not a particularly good homebrew.” Needs a lot more time in the bottle, perhaps, but there's only so much maturation will achieve. The bottom line is that it lacks character. At more than $A10 a pop, you've got to question whether it is money well spent.FOOTNOTE: Oliver cracked a bottle of this on New Year's Eve 2004 and found it to be a delicious beer. Age was kind to this beer. Very kind.
