What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Alastair70]

Last up tonight, mostly because I’m thinking of brewing another. Toasty malts with a bit of caramel, lots of clove and banana all in perfect balance. Yum yum.
Must see if GEB have Wy3068 in stock at the minute.

Haven’t been in Ballyshannon for years, now we’re staycationing again a wee trip round Donegal would be a fine idea. My local saucerer has got Horny Bull in at the minute, I’ll have to pick some up.

Moved on to Squealing Pig, and much better. There’s a bit more sweetness on the malt side, hops are more floral with a bit of pine too. Medium bodied and better balanced. Id buy this one again.

Hope you didn’t buy any of the spitin lama they do as it’s bloody rank.
if your floating around Donegal a pint can always be had around carndonagh on the way to marlin head. I won’t even charge

Don’t normally drink mid week but we finally got out to sit in a restaurant and have a meal and I gracisouly let the wife have a cocktail or 2 and drove. So now having a very nice and decently aged hoppy stout. This has benefited very much from a month or so in the keg

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

A nice ale from Salt, fast becoming one of my favourite breweries along with Time & Tide. This is a much better Citra Pale than mine

Didnt get any Llama thankfully, I’ll give a wide berth next time, If I end you round your parts, I’ll make sure I’ll bring some bottles for a swap.

First time I seen it in cans. Nice but fairly plain stout.

It's nice, not mind blowing but nice.
I have a Belgian imperial stout with your name on it. It just needs some time
I used a Saison yeast to experiment

@samale I couldn't find the porter but picked up a 15 pack of this instead. Nice to have a grapefruit juice ipa.

And I also grabbed a few of these, they are a tad sweet but overall quite impressive for what it is.

I had a good productive day today so time to celebrate with a guest ale from @Benfleet Brewery This is a Kolsch at 4.7%.

The beer is a beautiful crystal clear golden colour. Carbonation is maybe a little soft for the style but despite the picture (taken a minute or so after pouring) it’s certainly not flat and I know this was bottled from the keg so I’m sure from keg it’s a bit more lively.

The aroma is mild malt, like soft white bread crusts. There’s also just a touch of spicy fruitiness, I’d say with a hint of apple. Otherwise very clean.

Flavour is nice, clean mild malt, just a hint of apple fruitiness, mild bitterness. Soft mouthfeel and medium-light body, finishing dry.

This is going down very quickly and very easily and I’d happily spend an afternoon in the sun with a few more bottles

No wife and an unexpected day off tomorrow means an earlier start than normal for a wednesday, this ones my bramling x ipa, only 2 weeks in the bottle, it needs longer but I'm pleased to say it's far nicer than the sample I had at bottling.

Unexpected day off!? How fortunate.
My mouth is watering at the thought of a Bramling X IPA. I shall have to make do with a Bramling X bitter in about 45 minutes when I've finished work...
