Matilda Bay Crema

So I'm sure you fellas in the know have heard of Matilda Bay Crema (see half way down the page). Does anyone know if it is on sale yet in bottles, and if so, where it can be bought?

Thanks.

I've tried it on tap here in Perth, no idea about bottles, but somehow I doubt it.

It was quite a pale beer, with a strong coffee aroma, but not as much flavour as I was expecting. Not something you could drink lots of, but a good beer.

Thanks spanky. So how come you don;t rekon you could drink much? If it's a bit bland you wouldnt rekon you'd get overpowered by the flavour. Or is it just not that nice?

So none of you other beer drinking buggers can answer my question?

I haven't seen it over here, otherwise I would try it.

It's nice, not bland, but not overpowering.

But for me it's just not a flavour that I can drink lots of. I rarely finish a coffee and think to myself "that was nice, I might have another".

It wasn't overly sweet, or underhopped, but just didn't have that moreish character you get with a regular beer.

hrmm...all I've said so far is what it isn't, might need to go back and try it again, to tell you what it is.
