Tonight's beer is a Belgian Golden Strong Ale very kindly sent by @SteveH. A delicious style but not easy to get right, so let's go... Aroma A deep, overripe fruitiness, with banana and pear, slightly earthy, with a rich, warming spiciness from both the yeast and the alcohol. Appearance Nice...

I found this footage of your delivery man: But worry not, your sender has kindly offered to get another posted out to you. It'll be a few days late but hopefully will arrive before NYE.

Ooh absolutely, that sounds amazing and if it's half as good as your other Flanders it'll be great acheers.

As long as it's a big enough starter so as not to be oversaturated. Do you have a stir plate or will you be manually shaking? How can you tell?

Good to see you back @JFB, you still brewing?

Or maybe we now live in a time where most people don't find casual racism funny.

When you say 6 days old do you mean 6 days since you kegged it?

I received a mystery 3rd beer this morning, no idea who it's from or what it is but thank you :hat:

I actually really like Lee Mack and think he's very funny on WILTY, so I was shocked at how bad NGO is. It's like the horrible fake sitcom from Extras.

Archer is brilliant for the first 6 seasons but goes a bit downhill from there unfortunately, Bojack Horseman is a spectacularly well written show but calling it a sitcom is maybe a stretch because it can be heartbreakingly depressing as well as hilariously funny. Yep, the first season isn't...

You're right there, incredibly funny show!

That's interesting, in contrast to Hazelwood's beer yesterday, your recipe has a lot more crystal than expected. Demonstrates how much the hops disguise the grainbill. Lovely beer though, thanks again. I'll get a couple sent in return after the holidays acheers.

I always find the anti-American bias regarding comedy interesting. There are plenty of horrendous British sitcoms (Mrs Brown's Boys, Miranda, Not Going Out, Last of the Summer Wine, My Hero to name several) and plenty of wonderful and clever US sitcoms (Curb, Archer, Malcolm in the Middle, early...

Do you have a recipe posted somewhere I could see?

It was really good, wish I had another :confused:

Agreed, BeerCat or @Sadfield are the ones to ask.

My goto is WLP655, it's also the one recommended by Jamil which is a pretty good endorsement. If you can get ahold of a good commercial gueuze then adding the dregs (along with the 655) might add a bit of complexity too.

First up this evening is @dave_77's American Amber. It's not a style I've had loads of in the past, but definitely one I enjoy so looking forward to this... Aroma Deliciously fruity with ripe mango, pineapple, orange, and lemon, as well as a little nutty malt coming through and just a hint of...

I believe the cloudiness is due to a reaction with calcium rather than the alkalinity, but as long as the pH is sufficiently low it's likely not a problem.

Have there been any non-pale ales yet?
