It’s a Citra session IPA.
Edit: It’s called SpratWaffler. They also do a Super Sprat at 7.4% but not on draught at the farm shop unfortunately.

QC on the latest pilsner brewed with tettnang. It's nice and lively and almost completely clear..needs a bit longer..famous last words!
Echiums in the background are splendid this year!

X 4.Me either more a pilsner than a pale and agree with the odd taste. My wife likes it and from the staff in their taphouse in rathmullan it’s the most popular seller. Go figure
The missus & parents keep buying me this, probably next week too for Father's day. It just doesn't taste right
Pennine SAISON!
Tonight I’m kicking off with a guest ale from @Hopsteep It’s a pale ale based on Tribute. I don’t have Tribute very often and would struggle to comment on similarities and differences - so I won’t.
The ale is an orange-tinged golden colour, carbonation is good and the almost white head settled quickly to a light covering of bubbles over the surface. The beer is pretty clear, the haziness in the picture is from condensation on the glass.
The aroma is orange citrus, a little sweet marmalade, and soft white bread crust malt.
The flavour is much like the aroma and is well balanced with a mild bitterness. The finish is medium dry and the ale is medium bodied.
This is one of those ales I’d be happy to drink all night, it’s smooth, it has a nice flavour, there are no off-flavours, there’s no real hint of alcohol, it has good body, and it’s just really easy drinking.
Satisfying and understated. It’s a “Yes!” from me.

I assume you mean you’ve brewed a recipe by @Pennine? If he’s sending beer across from Colorado, I’m buying shares in whatever postal company he’s using.
It's my clone of his recipe....I subbed cashmere for idaho 7..I think! Its very nice!
Great review! I got the marmalade too!Tonight I’m kicking off with a guest ale from @Hopsteep It’s a pale ale based on Tribute. I don’t have Tribute very often and would struggle to comment on similarities and differences - so I won’t.

Next, I’m straight into another guest ale. This is a 5.3% APA from @dan125
You can see the colour is a slightly hazy golden colour, the ale is well carbonated and the airy white head stuck around for a while before falling to a thin covering over the ale.
The aroma is strong and hoppy. Dank and with tropical fruit and citrus fruits - grapefruit and lime. I’m not getting much aroma from the malt but what is there is more biscuit than bread.
The flavour matched the aroma and the bitterness is nicely restrained. The finish is again medium-dry and is clean with no off flavours.
Another lovely beer!

First pours from the razorback ipa, using the fermentation fridge to chill it to 11c, not to bad.
Also picked up a bottle of gas finally and only 5 minutes walk from my place, £45 to buy a full 5kg bottle, £20 refill.

That looks like a cask breather, are you getting more deeply into real ales?

I didn’t read the description of this before buying or on the bottle which is arguably a good thing as I pro wouldn’t have bought it if I did. It has a very distinctive smoky taste with just a little sweet vanilla flavour. It isn’t something I would normally go for but I honestly enjoyed it. Makes me think I should buy more beer blind to see bow it goes.

My Bohemian Pilsner poured from my shiny new kegerator... 
(yes I am just that wee bit chuffed)
It has never properly cleared and it has a fascinating floral taste with more depth than expected, probably due to the 200g of Saaz used in the boil due to the low AA, I suspect the other hop elements have given it that persistent haze, it's rather nice all the same. I really need to bottle this and send it on to those I promised to otherwise there's not going to be any left (my son and his friends were drinking this last night)

40 miles on the bike wind in the bake the full way.
Sorachi ace Saison, brew on mashing. Football is about to start, wife's away and I text the boss to say I am starting late in the morning.
You know it makes sense

Yes had it about a year when I set up the hand pull system, really works well.
Mainly brew all grain ales, esb, porters & stouts. Only done kits this year so far.
My latest haul from the farm shop, several old friends and a few new.
I’m starting on this haul with hopefully, a new friend from Bear Island. This is a triple-hopped lager.
It looks beautiful but it doesn’t really sing to me. It’s nice but I’m not sure it’s nice enough to look for next time and I don’t think I’d recommend it to anyone. I will finish it though, it’s certainly not unpleasant.
