This Flanders red. Very different. View attachment 22492
Had it at a beer festival once. Very nice- really sweet and maltyA Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby Clone. I’ve never actually had the original (recipe is from Graham Wheeler Brew your own British ale book, scaled to 10L using BIAB method) and clocks in at 5.9%. So may be far off the mark for the original beer however it is a nice dark red in colour slight head and has a slightly sweet taste. Overall I think one of the best beers I brewed and will be doing again.
I wish ! Love Brittany Enjoy your bargains! We may have to do a swap my local Eight Arch ‘Corbel’ for something you think is spot on. Can you still buy Gordon’s Scottish ales in the local Auchan etc....?Punk IPA
Having gone in for a couple of 500 ml cans in our local Leclerc, I was amazed to see the 330 ml bottles were only 1.36 euros- that's £1.16 in real money so I put a dozen in the trolley. Got to the checkout to find they were mispriced. They honoured the dozen, but wouldn't let me have the rest of the shelf-full. That'll teach me. At 1.17 euros to the GBP that's almost exactly £2.00 a pint. (£2.00072520073 in fact).
Result! Nothing tastes better than either free beer or beer that you know you've got cheaper than it should be.
