January 23 comp -American pales

[dave_77]

Hi all,

It's American pales first up again this year.
I know we are still finishing up on the last comp of last year but I'm going to judge this one on 3/4th February so plenty of time to get your American styles over to me.

Just for clarification this is for any cream ale, American pale, IPA up to red and American Amber.

Please include name and style on the bottle and any other info you would like to share.

Message me if you would like to enter

I've got an IPA I can send in. Will post towards the end of the month.

Would an IPA with 'new english' hops fall into this do you think?

You can definitely enter it as a American pale or IPA and then I will happily score it against those style guidelines..see how those English hops stand up against the description of the style don't tell me what the hops are, be interesting to see how it tastes without knowing what's in it.

I will post my haze pale ale, it's not a winner but I would like a second opinion

Dry hopped yesterday, it'll certainly be fresh

I’m kegging a user upper IPA tomorrow that was thrown together in the style of the Swedish chef from the Muppet Show. If it’s a Ready Steady Cook success I’ll enter it, if it’s more Ready Steady Puke I’ll sit tight.

Hi Dave, in the post today or tomorrow is an IPA 'Surprise' and a Chinook Porter as a it seemed a waste of good box space to only send one.

Great thanks for the porter, I have just brewed a porter myself and I'm really enjoying it so be nice to try another version

Handed over my bottle (suitably packed!) to the postie this morning. Hopefully it will be there in a few days, intact.

In the post. Not as American as I hoped. But I think it's a nice midground

 

[samale]

I am going to sit this out, my hazy pale is not up to scratch
