Coronation Ale

[hop-a-long]

I was wondering.....If it’s supposed to be a beer with a festive flavour profile, can go all out of course. However if the flavour should reflect your new King, you might be in trouble.
The word bland comes to mind......

At least our king (The Netherlands) was nicknamed Prince Pils in the years before he ascended the throne!

Well here it is. After much deliberation I've decided to go with a recipe from the "Brew Your Own Book of Clones" Old Jubilation Ale as a starting point. It ticks many of the boxes: little or no ghastly crystal malt, nice and strong, full of flavour.
I'll be using Ths Fawcett's Amber Malt (95-105 ebc) instead of Briess Special Roast and Château Biscuit Malt instead Victory Malt. Both subs are in the collour range and both the Briess malts are described as "biscuit type" malts. A bit worried about using Bullion as it's a hop I normally put in my Celtic Raven Stout, but I'll go with it. Need to find a suitable yeast in my collection, too. Apart from that, everything's in stock and ready to rock 'n roll.
I'll post the full recipe when I've formulated it. In the meantime I'm in the middle of brewing up my crop of Cascade hops from the garden. If anyone has already tried this recipe, I'd be interested to hear their thoughts.

First Gold will give it a nice marmalade sandwich character.

Paddington would approve and he was a costar with the late monarch.
Good name for a beer Paddington but might be trademarked!!

Yeah no doubt it is. Not like I'm selling it though. Just be a fun label to make...

Paddington Bear is trademarked.

Not Paddington Beer, although they pronounce beer like bear down here anyway.

So I've narrowed mine down to either an adapted 160/- ale, or an adapted Victorian keeping ale recipe. Going to need a lot of base malt!
