Hi Rod,

That’s an interesting combination, I’d have worried the Fuggles would overpower the Saaz. I guess that’s not the case?

Not with a label like that, it’s already making me feel squiffy!

I dont go daft on the fuggles but lots of sazz at 15 and 5 mins, next brews will be target ekg and challenger

A nice spicy saison. Reminiscent of the MJ saison

Festival Landlords Finest. Rather fruitier than I expected to be honest, but very refreshing nonetheless.

Cider !

Hard Rain Ciderkin from Little Pomona. Made like small beer from pomace of a stronger cider and hopped with local Herefordshire Chinook hops. 3 point something % and absolutely delicious after a long day staring at a laptop

Despite my very best efforts to mess up @strange-steve ’s Dunkel it’s still turned out nice. Thanks Steve :hat:

Just thought I’d try a lockdown lager to make sure it’s still rather good

I have found that a little Fuggles goes a long way to adding depth of flavour. Yet to try with Saaz but tried with another noble hop - Tettnang with similar good results.

Nice. Is it as dark as it looks in the pic, looks black?

Absolutely! If you look at my photos further up you’ll see the Electric Bear logo on the glass. That same black printed logo is on the front of the glass in my picture of your Dunkel - completely hidden by the beer.

A couple round the in-laws tonight. A speckled hen, bishops finger, and a not quite ready stout from the FIL.

He bottled one bottle out of his fermenter just for my arrival the madman. It's still fermenting. That being said it wasn't that bad, it had a massive black treacle taste to it, and loads of carbonation which oddly worked.

Huh that's interesting. Mine was a deep red colour but definitely not black. Are you getting any roasty flavours?

Not really roasty. Malty flavours for sure, just the merest hint of charcoal maybe. Fruity notes too on the back of the tongue - hadn’t expected that.

It might still be conditioning so might change yet but I’ll bottle some and send you one to try.

That looks a good pint!

Bit late to the party but just finishing this fantastic cloudwater Nelson and citra dipa.
So silky smooth and easy drinking for 8%.
The 24g/L dry hop must be mainly citra but it's so well controlled. Delicious
