What are you drinking 2024.

I had a couple of pints of Sussex Best in the pub and then picked up this 5-Points Best on the way home. I’ve seen @dave_77 with a bottle a few times and have been meaning to try it because it uses the same ingredients as my own best bitter. The 5-Points version is lighter in colour, is less malty, and is a lot more bitter. Quite a nice contrast given the same ingredients but I would say the bitterness is maybe a touch too assertive.

I think it's the bitterness I love...my latest beer I'm Kegging this weekend is my version of this beer

2 days of mandatory training over and a day off tomorrow I need beer.

This is my 80 shilling first off.

And then first taste of my Comet lager, this needs a little bit more conditioning but im really happy with it. Don't get the grapefruit but plenty of dank resiny flavours.

That's interesting, The Malt miller do a clone kit which I was thinking about trying. Maybe I'll reduce the bittering hop.

For my taste that would make it more drinkable and more enjoyable, as it is it puts me in mind of Jackhammer!

If you’ve not tried the original you can get it in Morrisons - might be worth trying it before you brew a batch?
