Turned out to be a lot left over for next month. I suffered a lot from aroma carry over between beers. Unexpected standout for me was the pint I bought on arrival- Dark revolution only keep 1 beer on cask but it was a superb pale ale.
What are you drinking tonight 2024.

One of these as a loosener before watching a bit of the us election, usually a big fan of most things Adnams, but not this one. Horrible, taste old and stale.

It looks nice and warm! Where you at?
I’m still enjoying my best bitter.

Can't see how... ha! I've got a few tinnies on for later...Tribute and some Black Heart. I need them after purchasing the youngest son his first car...
I’m starting with a glass of my Pirate Pale. It’s been conditioning for just over two weeks now so although it’s not yet crystal clear the aroma and the flavour is pretty good.

Egypt. 31c at the moment. Bloody brilliant. No photos of beer today, spent most of the day on the water slides or pool bar. Enjoying the Cuba Libre's this afternoon.
Evening guys!

Icelandic beers on a 3 hr layover in Iceland

Trying a flat best bitter.
Had awful trouble transferring from fermenter to keg, Counter pressure filled a bottle during transfer to see how the flow was going.
Must be something wrong with my duotight disconnects as swapped to JG and worked fine after than.
Clarity not great so not sure my yeast blend worked as intended. Have added some brausol into the keg.
Beer is perfectly pleasant. Toasty, not too sweet. Could do with a bit more hop aroma. Perhaps a touch too bitter just on the finish.

Are you prepared to say how much they cost?
By report, Icelandic beer is even more expensive than the expensive nature of the rest of Scandinavia!

I was pleasantly surprised those cost £13 and mine was a decent beer. The wife didn’t have tuborg it was a lite lager of some sort. I’m having an einstock now Ard it was £7.50. Not the most expensive airport pints I’ve had

Aroma being down and the bittering up can go hand in hand.
It can be either a longer boil than intended, or if using a post boil/whirlpool type hop addition for aroma and the temperature was hovering too high at around 80°C.
Extra bitterness will result from both.
Sounds like it's still beer though!
