What are you drinking tonight 2020.

Finishing bottling my Belgian pale. Have the batch has been dosed with Orval dreggs and the half without. Tasting the leftovers from bottling. Whitelabs Bastogne yeast is tasty, more subtle than Ardennes, more fruity (maybe slight banana aroma, not flavour).

The flat plain version is tasty enough...it's IPA time I think

Thanks for the tip though even as a guest beer in the West Midlands Adnams rarely appear which is a bit of a shame as I have enjoyed other beers of theirs when down in Norfolk.

On the other hand, their Southwold Bitter is a thing of beauty!

Trying @strange-steve lemon Saison.
Pours with a lovely light white head, carbonation for me is spot on.
Lovely aroma, lemon is bouncing of the bubble's, yeast is restraint but is in the background, citrus slightly peppery.
Taste again is predominantly lemon, very light with a nice dry finish. Really nice balance. As it warms you can get more flavours of the yeast. This would be a lovely summer drink. Light, crisp, citrus and very easy to drink for a 7% beer.
I really enjoyed this the lemon addition really played well with the hops and yeast.
Thank you for sharing

Agreed plus Broadside and Explorer but there must be a market for GS somewhere and it must be a case of people having differing taste.

Finishing this one now. It’s a nice beer but I think like some other folk I’m starting to get a bit weary of really hoppy ales because they’re becoming quite “samey”.

blasphemy!

citra galaxy and mosaic hazies are like that, everyone's brewing them cause they are good and relatively easy to make.

This might be my issue.

This sounds interesting, is this your own beer

Did someone say mosiac

Yep, it’s from last year’s batch of homemade “lambic” so about 18 months from brew day, been in the bottle about 6 months.

Brilliant stuff I enjoy reading the mixed fermentation thread. I just dipped my toe in with my first Brett beer. Just waiting on it to carb

Final beer - Timmy Taylor's landlord. Nice, but not a patch on cask.

This particular batch had Styrian Golding & Hersbrucker. In previous batches I have used all of the hops you have, probably Tettnang the most.

Just cracked a fresh pb of bitter brewed with target bramling cross and challenger it's not bad
