That was the curve ball of the bunch. First time brewing a lager. It hasn't finished fermenting and I bottled it@samale Czech pilsner after a long warm day at the beach. Looks lovely, golden, slight haze, very well carbonated, bready pilsner like aroma, taste wise, I think you said you weren't overly happy with this one? I mean I think it's ok, I've certainly had worse and I would definitely have it again. Would i tell my mates to head over to Derry to drink his Czech Pilsner, probably not but he does other great beers!

Compete in what way? Some of these American hops are horrendous! Citra, Centennial, Cascade and a few others are OK, but others I think we've been conned into "liking" by the enthusiasm of the literature (marketing). Jester and Archer are great, as is Olicana. Phoenix is out on it's own, but good and there are loads of others. Let's not forget Bullion. I haven't tried Ernest.You got me thinking about this . There are a few newer English hop varieties that I think haven't really been able to compete with the US hops for the IPA market but could possibly work well in British Golden Ales. Thinking Ernest, Jester & Olicana.
Any good?
A man of few words
