What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[pilgrimhudd]

I would love to take time of work and travel the wild Atlantic way. Camper van and the two dog's

Did this from Rosslare to Portrush (around the west coast), wife had a wonderful time camping at 6 months preggers, plenty of highlights but none more so than Father Teds house.

Rhubarbra Striesand rhubarb milkshake pale, honestly this sort of stuff isn't for me, possibly the worst beer I have ever tasted, if I brewed it it would be straight down the sink.

Kegged my riwaka pale earlier so it would be rude not to give it a try

Looks the business

Finish the night with export Indian Porter

Finished the mini keg of Hewitts I opened last night (I am assuming it had a leak) so I've cracked open a bottle of Old Crafty Hen. I blame @Hazelwood Brewery 's subliminal Greene King advertising earlier.

Kiwi Pilsner by @pilgrimhudd

The impression I got from @pilgrimhudd was not to expect too much from this beer. But he's either a liar or lacking in confidence - this is a really good brew!

The only flaw I picked up was clarity - not that I'm in a position to judge by any stretch but it's verging on hefeweizen. Apart from that it's a cracking pint.

Head retention and lacing is excellent (feel free to argue the toss but I reckon that's the Carapils at work). @pilgrimhudd told me it's under-carbonated - hmm, yeah, I see what he means but for me it's fine and it's certainly far from flat. It finishes dry-ish but a touch more carbonation might make it that little bit more crisp.

Aroma-wise it's very subtle but there's a hint of citrus there. This is backed up in the taste - there's a breadiness that gives way to something kinda orangey-grapefruitey from the Riwaka hops.

No mistake, this is not a hoppy lager or IPL, it's definitely in the Pilsner style - it's just that the hop flavour stands out a bit more than Saaz or Mittelfruh which, while very nice, I always find a bit vague.

I really enjoyed this beer - the malt is really nicely balanced with the hops, which stand out enough to be distinctive but without stealing the show

My wife has never drunk in all the 20 years I know her.
She just doesn't understand

After more physical exertion than I'd like on a Sunday, I've cracked a keg of my Hodgepodge pale ale, as it's had a full 3 days conditioning time.
Its dry with a pithy bitterness, which is perfect for today, but not what I asked for

Trying a King Goblin, not bad at all, surprisingly light

I had 1 last night and found it was quite sweet. Nice though. I remembered it a lot more malt forward the last time I had it ?
