April Competition - lager/kolsch/pseudo lager

[jceg316]

Spring is here and it's time for the April competition - lager/kolsch/pseudo lager including both European and American styles. Some of you have sent me lagers before which have been great, so I know there are some good ones out there.

As usual, PM me for address details. Currently I'm looking at 2nd weekend in May for judging.

Count me in with a few.

Does a California Common brewed with American lager yeast qualify? I bottled one yesterday.

 

[Leon103]

May send in a lager

Sure it does!

 

[jceg316]

Bumping this to see if anyone else wants to get involved.

There's a £10 Beers of Europe voucher in it for the winner.

 

[Leon103]

Can you pm your address.

I have a Vienna lager that been conditioning a while and I don't drink lager that often so it would be good to get an honest opinion

 

[BeerCat]

I have 2 to send in. when is the judging going to be?

I’ve got a pseudo lager that I think is disgusting but my wife thinks I’m overreacting and says it’s alright. I know it won’t win but I might enter just to see. I’ve not decided yet though.

 

[jceg316]

@Leon103 I will PM you.

@MickDundee I'm very happy to give constructive criticism.

The judging will be May 11th, I have a few friends coming round with varying degrees of beer knowledge who can help me out. I find it equally interesting hearing the opinion of those with a developed palate who know what to look out for in certain styles, to those who only know whether it's 'nice or not'.

I might have something to enter, I'll have a look tonight. You still at the same address?

Now here's the thing. I've got a Kolsch yeast pseudo lager based on a modified 1920's Barkley Perkins recipe that, when it's good, I'm happy with. However, some of the bottles are gushers and taste pants. Do I risk it or not?

I'll PM you the address just to confirm.

I have a lager that should be ready by the 2nd weekend in may. Can you PM me your address please and I'll get a couple of bottles sent over.

PM sent.

 

[strange-steve]

My kolsch is a bit past its best so not worth entering but I may have something else...
If so I'll get it posted tomorrow.

 

[strange-steve]

@jceg316 Eisbock on its way to you now.

 

[Simple pig]

Hi I brewed my first Kolsch at the end of February never had anything judged and may be a little late to get it to you depending on location could you possibly DM me address.

Cheers Jm

Hello, not done this before but have a Kolsch that should be ready - is there still time? I could put a bottle in the post Monday.

 

[Leon103]

Will post mine in the morning
