What a trooper!

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Starting in the sun with a pale ale. Not Summer Breeze this time, this is another ale I thought I’d try with Olicana hops, brewed to be lower ABV at 4.3%.

It’s nice but in the way that you sometimes want something a bit less exciting when you’ve had your fill of alcohol and your taste buds are crying out for relief from the highly hopped ales. Yeah, a bit pedestrian but still very drinkable when you’re in the mood.

9.8% saison by Donzoko, great

 

[Rodcx500z]

Sample of Owd willys pale ale after 1day in the barrel it’s nice I can pick the first gold out a very subtle citrus taste at the end it’s nicely bittered to

 

[lupinehorror]

first up is a 'citrus tart'. a citrus sour ale coming in at 4.5%.

rather enjoying it. it certainly is refreshing.

I’m still on the same pale ale for now trying to decide whether it’s a keeper. I’ll probably change to something else for my next pint, I think I deserve better

Beerworks president Sierra, probably one of my best, moving into all grain once my brewzilla turns up

Nice beer that. I still have one neighbour that asks if I have it on, two years from when I last made it!

Even though I'm going to all grain there are 3 kits I will definitely do again. The beerworks president Sierra, festival new zealand pilsner and mangrove Jack's juicy. Still haven't done the festival razorback or the mj grapefruit so I might try them as well

 

[Horners]

Knackered after a day in the sunshine "heavy pruning" with the chainsaw in between doing my actual job. Try not to drink on Mondays but figure I've earned one.

Looks a nice pint.

Now this IS Summer Breeze. Much happier with this! Sun is getting low in the sky now

Yep its gone v chilly all of a sudden. I've just battened the hatches on the brew cave whilst I have a hazy Jane and debate whether I should do a pulled pork tomorrow..

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Not quite sitting in the dark but not so far off now and extremities getting gold so may have to give in shortly. Still on Summer Breeze but will need to move on or I’ll be running out

 

[Jim Brewster]

Having a Whitstable Bay pale ale from Shepherd's Neame , not bad but a little bland, a bit like a lager but without the crispness

 

[dan125]

Bloody lager.... 3 weeks lagering after 3 weeks in the FV including a good cold crash.
Quite pleased with it though for a first attempt - very bready, presumably from the weyermann Bohemian pilsner malt.
Defo need to increase the 77% attenuation if I ever brew another one.

 

[Hanglow]

more deuchars IPA-ish

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Another Summer Breeze but this one is different...can you see it?

This one was brewed by @samale.

Now it’s always a bit daunting asking the architect of a beer to give their opinion on your attempt at it so I should start by saying you’re safe @samale , you’ve done a great job!

There are some differences but this might be because I update the recipe quite often. Yours is slightly more bitter but I like that even though I’ve backed off a little with later versions. The hop balance is slightly different, perhaps slightly more Citra forward than Galaxy forward but this is subtle and honestly, who is going to complain about Citra

I think you’ve done a great job here bud, well done!

(Now you need to try the latest version)

 

[dan125]

Just comparing mine own WCIPA to a Life & Death - an interesting comparison as they are both 6.5% abv
Mine is intentionally more old school and darker with 9.5% caramalt, but lacking in bitterness even with 65 IBUs, when you drink them side by side
