Dobber

[Jammybstard]

I had a bottle conditioned Marble Brewery Dobber last night and it was pretty much fantastic in every way! Extreamly clean taste and feel but fruty at the same time and with a really unique hop character.
Is anyone familiar? Do you know the hops? I think Nelson sauvin might be in there from descriptions I've read. And also the yeast used? Some sort of Chico perhaps.
Does anyone know anything about this beer?

when I read the title of this thread I didn't think it would be about brewing!

 

[Jammybstard]

Yes, I wonder how it will sell north of the border!

Dobber is a large marble apparently!

 

[abeyptfc]

can you buy it in tesco or asda or only from the brewery?

 

[Jammybstard]

I don't think so, I read an article (I'm not sure how old it was,) that said they only bottled about 300 bottles of all there beers a week and they run out of cask halfway across the M62.
I got mine from a specialist little beer shop in York called the bottle.

I believe it's 100% pale malt, 100% Nelson Sauvin and I suspect it would be one of the chico strains.

I could ask Dom, but I don't think he'll tell me.

Well, in that case if you can Subtly ask Dom the aprox IBU, and if he uses a different bottling yeast strain or not we'll be about there; because if not there's a ton of it looking very fresh in the bottom of the bottle :thumb: Happy Days!

I've never harvested yeast from the bottom before; I pitched the Dregs of two bottles into 1.5L of 1030 starter @ 21'C and after less than thirty-six hours it's really lively and there's already a nice layer of yeast on the bottom! I wonder what it is.
