What are you drinking 2024.

[Tanglefoot]

Never see this up our way, a very nice drop.
I've seen a few clone recipes for this, tempted to give it a go.

Last of the Belgian Abbaye single, Tettnang and Styrian Goldings.
Stayed resolutely hazey but a fair first attempt at the style.

Had draft Jail Ale a few times in Cornwall. Nice beer.

Glass of my London bitter… this is the one that had the unintended 20min protein rest and I was worried about the head retention

Finally sitting down. Joined by a old favourite.

Go big or go home

A nice pale from No Frills Joe.

And now my Camden Amber ale.
I'm warm in the Sun, but it's damnably chilly in the shade around the corner.

 

[Leon103]

Onto a DIPA. Hops are starting to fade on this one.. can't be much left in the keg

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I haven’t had a Guinness for a while so I’m having one now after having several glasses of my own stout. I think I prefer the Guinness but will console myself with the knowledge they’ve been doing it a bit longer and spent a bit more money than me….and I like mine almost as much

A Witbier from @The-Engineer-That-Brews

My shitty kitchen lighting makes it look darker than it is, but when held up to the light is light gold with appropriate level of haze. Appropriate level of head on the pour, which faded to a thin layer of fine bubbles.

On the nose is spice, some light notes of banana, a touch of juicy fruit bubblegum coming through on the back end.

Flavour is grainy firstmost, then spice (clove/pepper) and some citrus notes.

Mouthfeel is quite dry and a quick finish. Refreshing and the interplay between the spices and hops works well, but perhaps a tad too bitter for me (possibly hop selection or perhaps leaning towards sulphate?)

Overall a really decent beer and representative of the style. Personally would like a bit more carbonation.

For sure much better than the last one I made which turned out slightly sour and I overdid the coriander on.

Great feedback! Many thanks - I’ll have to go and check what I did for the water on that one. Hops was a ludicrous 61g of Saaz at 2.1%… 250g of lightly crunched coriander seed and some dried bitter orange peel

Well, I didn't take a picture because it was a mess.
When I was bottling the Hazy Daze (in signature), the last 3 were way too cloudy, but it seemed a waste to throw them away.

Opened 2 of them this evening. Managed to get half a pint between them.

Absolute bottle bombs the minute I took the lid off.
They only had a teaspoon of sugar in them.

To be fair, I hadn't chilled them either and they've been sat in the conservatory. The others are in the shed where it's been a lot cooler
I'll dump them in the fridge and leave them a week and I expect they'll be a lot easier to open.

A bushmills distillery reserve 12 year old. Lots of fruit on the nose with a chocolate and raisin taste very smooth as an Irish whiskey should be. Fruit is the dominant flavour here and it’s a bloody good drop. I had it in the distillery and it was nice enough to buy a bottle. Impressed

Have you added a 0 there? I thought I overdid it with it with 30g and it definitely didn't take like 250g!

Expand your palate. Whiskey has as much variation as beer. And it’s healthier lol
