its good but i get a funky rubbery pineapple type of thing from it. not sure if its the yeast or galaxy? i get the same from a lot of US neipas too so i was suspect of conan yeast.
The Dubbel from @dave_77
A healthy psst when I cracked the cap. Through the pour, the perfectly clear, dark amber beer fizzed like a Schweppes mixer.
Aroma is dark fruit, malt, marmalade and, unexpectedly, cider-apples. Nice.
Flavour is Belgian Dubbel - absolutely! For me the carbonation was a bit too much although my no-notice belches entertained the family
. This beer puts me in mind of a toffee-apple where the toffee has been taken to the point of burning - where it is as it’s best.
There’s very little bitterness and no astringency at all.
Another nice beer Dave!

Glad your liking..you had me worried when you said cider apples...thought it was a bad bottle
No, not at all. The cider-apple aroma wasn’t strong and has diminished through the pint so it must be quite a volatile aroma. It was nice actually.

Finally...sat down with a beer. Tribute clone. I absolutely deserve this!
I struggled a bit with this one last time and I can’t say I’m overly enamoured this time either. The Weeerd American Pale is really nice but this porter isn’t at the same level in my view.
That’s a combination I would probably never come up with and I’m a little surprised the Mosaic hasn’t overpowered the Hallertau like some kind of dominatrix.
Forget I said that.
Mind not in synch with the mouth..? Not been sniffing mushrooms..?
HB..with mosaic.. I'm sure Brewdog Slot Machine has a similar mix..

The mosaic ripe fruit thing is coming through a touch more as it warms but they must have used a load more HBThat’s a combination I would probably never come up with and I’m a little surprised the Mosaic hasn’t overpowered the Hallertau like some kind of dominatrix.
Yeah, I’d have thought. If it works though...

Last one for the evening. Sampling my green smoky brown ale. Its much better now cool and carbonated was worried this one would be a dumper. Smokiness is light and kind of catches you off guard at first but ends up blending nicely. Should be great after a month lagering.
Dragon's Milk is an 11% ABV Bourbon barrel-aged stout. This was a beautiful sight and such a surprise to see it at Costco. It's what I'll be having tonight.
