@Nottsbeer exe (something smudged) bitter.

Been looking forward to this one as it's my favourite style and something that I like to brew often.This one doesn't disappoint, it's a lovely beer. Clear, copper coloured, nice frothy head. Aroma of earthy English hops, tastewise, restrained bitterness but to style, malty but with a nice hop flavour. Overall a fantastic beer, could quite happily spend an afternoon drinking this one, if I had one criticism, if you could call it that I think it could take a hint more bitterness but otherwise great!

Glad you enjoyed it 👍. This was called Exe Valley Bitter. It was 40IBU, but as you say a bit more wouldn't be a bad thing. I find with this brew that the second bottle always tastes better than the first 😂. Cheers for the feedback 🍻🍻

Was the recipe from the Wheeler book? Thought it might he Exe Valley, I brewed an Exe Valley Pale last year sometime which was nice.

My recipe is here. Post in thread 'Notts beers days' https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/notts-beers-days.95266/post-1290564

Inspired by your recipe👍. Looking at the thread I did note the trial jar after boiling was nice and bitter (mellow bitter!) but it obviously lost a bit after that. Will play with this one as it will be a nice summer beer.
 
Posted this in the wrong thread (this always seems to happen when my photo upload fails and I refresh the page).

2 x the beer I made with Southwark brewing at Victoria Wetherspoons.

Not sure cask was the best option for this, but half went into keg and should be picking one up next week.

I know pride is a sin, but feel rather chuffed at seeing a beer I helped design and brew being sold at a pub in a major train station.
