I've been pondering brewing an American Brown but hesitating as I'd never knowingly tried one. Then by happy coincidence the local brewery released one yesterday.
Electric Bear 'Another Day in Lieu'. 4.6%. Extra Pale, Crystal 240, Dark Crystal, Munich, Roasts Barley, Torrified Wheat. Azacca, Centennial, Amarillo.
It's really good. Full on hoppy attack but finishing with lovely rounded malty notes. Reminds me a bit of a Terry's Chocolate Orange. Might try and stick a few cans under the Christmas tree next month.

Verdant ipa yeast best bitter. With some head in case you didn't notice, I did pour it rather aggressively . There is a slight haze unfortunately. Will be interested to see if it drops more over another week or so. Very good in the flavour department at least, so I'm wondering whether I ****** up somewhere to get other haze, rather than it being slow to flocc all out. I did use a new mash tun and pump for the first time with this beer
One of my Brown Ales from a bottle because the beers in the garden are too cold BUT they are now warming in the brew-shed - yay!

Just making my way through @Hopsteep international pale lager. I haven't got much detail on this other than he used a load of flaked rice.
Slightly over carbonated poured a hazy golden straw. Really nice looking beer. Taste really surprised me, this doesn't drink like a lager. It has body and a really smooth finish with very low bitterness. I could easily drink this by the bucket load at a BBQ. Normally I find lagers too thin and watery.
This was a nice surprise

Sort of drink you had at 17 and then threw up.
The worst was vodka and southern comfort...called southern freeze...you can feel it evaporating off your lips!
Dreadful!

Surprised you had any lips left
I got slaughtered on Southern Comfort at 18. So bad I couldn’t touch anything that smelled like it / whisky for 20 years!
Not you as well?!
I was in the RAF and all my “mates” bought me one. I had a lot of mates!

I had a Christmas Eve when I was about 18 when I drank whisky and was so ill I stayed in bed for the whole of Christmas Day. I never touched whisky for 20 years after and not keen today.

Fancied something malter tonight...I'm enjoying it but I seem to remember it being more flavoursome..think I prefer broadside.
Nah! That’s the wife’s. This is mine.
