I’m starting with a pint of porter today because I’ve been looking forward to it. Lovely rich coffee and bitter chocolate flavours.

no prizes for guessing the floris cactus. - I love lupulus tripel (I have a few bottles down my shed TM ) so I'm keen to know what you think of their brune.

Mrs DoJ loves the floris range, Coconut & Mango, Ninkeberry are here usual gotos

The brune was nice not the best on the flight but top 3. The missus had the cactus and the frame Busch she loved them and she’s not a beer drinker. 12% beers are tight going after a few hours

Hardcore ginger beer inspired by a thread on here by @Monkhouse

This is only 3 weeks since brewday and a week in the bottle but I'm making a salmon malabar curry so it had to be done

Having a first sample of my Gose..it's almost a traditional recipe, modernised with a small whirlpool of Hallertau Blanc to try up the grape/citrus flavours.
Definitely has light citrus lemon flavour with a light lactic sourness sour not puckering..nice and refreshing.

Wetherspoons tea and a beer

Cali common is clearing nicely and feeling crisper after another week of lagering.

drank my last bush 12% on the 24th oct. it was just past its bbe date and delicious, hard work keeping them long enough to age from sweet to complex

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Still enjoying the porter, the snow not so much.

Enjoying this cracker while enjoying the first semi-final

One of my favourite supermarket beers

No work for me tomorrow, I’m having a few beers this evening.
First up is a Cali Common kindly shared by @dave_77.
Clarity and carbonation are both excellent, it pours with a fluffy head that lasted the whole pint.
The aroma is mellow and balanced between bready malts and piney hops. The flavour follow the aroma, with a lovely balance between malts and hops. It’s a really well made beer that I ripped through in about 10 minutes. Thank-you for sharing it.
I’m going to have one of my own now to see how it compares.

 

[Alastair70]

Purely for research purposes of course here’s mine.
Its around 10 days ahead of Dave’s and it shows in clarity, carbonation is lower however. I preferred the higher carbed version but I can fix that easily. It’s also a little darker, but I‘m sure I’m still within style parameters.
The noticeable difference is in the hop choice, I went with Northern Brewer on its own and included a couple of decent late additions, the balance on this brew lies in that direction.

 

[dave_77]

Nice to seem them together to see the differences..not alot in the colour. I think my beer was at the lower end of the style guidelines. Looking forward to trying your version. Here is my recipe

I won a box of beers in my company's advent calendar competition. Didn't realise what the Small Beer Company was all about until I got the box home and noticed the ABV on each bottle. Despite all beers being below 2.8%, I'm actually enjoying them. Nice couple of half pint glasses included too. My favourite so far is the Dark Lager at only 1% . I was expecting thin and bland beers, but so far, that's not been the case. Still to try the Lager and the Steam Beer.
