SNPA by post

[Tony]

Hi all
well, received Highwayman's SNPA last week and big apologies for not posting this before Steve!

Gorgeous pint of SNPA (clone), cascades coming through loud and clear! Thoroughly enjoyed it Steve!

hope mine hits the nose :thumb:

lovely colour :drink:

 

[Tony]

And another winner .. this is brewmarc's SNPA, what a fantastic pint, unfortunately the pic doesn't do it justice... absolutely loved this, lovely hoppy pint and spot on to the original.

Thank you - to both Marc & Steve for exceptional brewing and for sharing!

EDIT: Sorry, should have said .. the cloudiness of both beers is because I couldn't leave it alone long enough to settle after the posties threw it around!

A cracking SNPA clone :clap: :clap: This one is Tony's. Fantastic cascade aroma lovely hoppy bitterness :drink: I really enjoyed this, & its also just like the real stuff & the pic doesnt do this justice either . Congratulations Tony & thankyou for sending one to me. As it was Rememberence Sunday when i tasted, I thought it fitting to include a poppy on the pic as well as a few grains for effect :grin: .

Highwaymans (Steve) is next up for tasting report + pics to follow.

Nice pic Marc .. love the poppy and grain! Thank you - glad you enjoyed it and thoroughly enjoyed the swap!

Have to say, I think both of you hit the colour a lot closer than me!

Thanks Tony...For the feedback :thumb: I have left yours and Marc's for this coming weekend. I shall add them to this post

 

[Tony]

I did the label on photoshop - cloned a piece of the background to erase the text and just added my own. Got the original from google images!

Thanks to you both once again, I think I'll have to look closely at your recipes again and tweak mine! :thumb:

EDIT: Thanks to whomever moved this post and apologies for not getting the right one from the start!

I had the pleasure of trying Tony's SNPA last Night;-

To say it was like the real thing..would be a lie..because It was better :clap: :clap: Full bodied, well hopped and great carbonation! I was really impressed.....Fantastic Job Tony....I thoroughly enjoyed it....Put mine to shame Thanks for sharing it :clap: :clap:

Marc's next :thumb:

 

[Tony]

You're too kind Steve .... I just pleased that you enjoyed it. :

Couldn't put yours to shame as it was perfect, yours had a far better rounded 'mouthfeel' :thumb:

[Brewmarc]

More grains for effect :whistle:

Had the great pleasure in tasting Steves SNPA today :clap: :clap: Thanks very much Steve,& thanks for the recipe also :thumb:
"WOW" This was a fantasic pint too, pretty spot on if you ask me, :clap: :clap: malty, hop bitterness, aroma, & flavour just perfectly ballanced & as you can see perfectly carbonated & crystal cleer,
Very well done to both Tony & Steve I thoroughly enjoyed both & honestly prefered them to mine which it is slightly sweeter & slightly less carbonated than the others.
The aroma & flavour of cascade hops in the SNPA simply puts it in a class of its own all captured perfectly.
Thanks one again to both Tony & Steve for a great homebrewing comparison & experience of the great Siarra Navada Pale Ale.

I have been away for the a few days..so only just opened the thread......Thanks for the feedback Marc..Glad you enjoyed it. I tried yours midweek and will post tomorrow :thumb:

I really enjoyed this! It was just the right carbonation to create a head and maintain it through to the bottom of the glass. Well balanced with the Cascade Hops coming through in the nose and in taste! Brilliant Beer Marc...Thanks for the Exchange :thumb:
