What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[dan125]

This is the only beer in my delivery that's not super fresh, so I thought I'd get it out the way.
Canned back in August its showing its age ☹
Tastes like it might have been good when fresh.

Bit of a radical departure there from traditionalists TT ... So what did you think of it?

Hoppy pales are not my favourite style, that said, the 4 or 5 hops used gave it a nicely rounded flavour. At 4%, in a small bottle on a Friday evening it didn't hang around long. It would make a good summer afternoon beer and was more to my taste than many heavily hopped pales I've tried.
Now onto a bottle of this (3 for 2 had two of these) I drank the first one on NYE. It was too cold and I wasn't overly impressed. Served warmer there's a pleasant roastiness, a hint of Cocoa and it's very drinkable.

A glass of my attempt at Summer Breeze, just nice easy drinking.

Back home again to the things I love ; my family, my dogs and my beer - MJ American IPA .
Maybe tinker in my shed and get a brew on tomorrow !

Staying roasty... No Cocoa, but sweetness and smoothness. 3.4% with a flavour intensity that I'd usually associate with a stronger beer.

Getting near the end of my Oatmeal stout, brewed late November. It’s really hitting its stride as I’m looking at a dwindling supply of bottles. As I’m never going to get more patient, the only solution is to brew more. Got a Munich Helles lagering and an Amber Ale fermenting. Need to line up another brew for 1st weekend in Feb.

I always love it when I can find a lowish alcohol beer that actually tastes decent, and after brewing a fair few batches of my own I have come to the conclusion that low gravity session beers are surprisingly tricky to get right.

Something different next, one of my American Pales at 5.25%. Very clear, quite light and refreshing, slightly biscuity malt, low bitterness. Fruity too although I’ve no idea what fruit it is

3 top top breweries, 3 different styles, 3 quality beers

On something a bit stronger. This keg of bipa seems to be lasting ages, which isn't a bad thing as it seems to get better with age. May cause me issues when I want the keg for February's brew.

2nd beer of the night is a west coast hazy from @dan125 . Attractive looking beer, good carbonation. Strong pine and citrus aroma. Smooth bitterness but definitely more than a NEIPA. Hop flavour is pine and citrus. Really nice , more up my street than a NEIPA as it has a good level of bitterness. Cheers mate

Agreed, wasn't sure if I had another one or not. Found one hiding at the back of the shelf in the shed. A bit cooler, still good

That's my aim, even if I have to wade through the snow to get to the keg.

mullerbrau pfaffenhofen wintersud 5.5% very tasty festbier

First of the night is @Hopsteep Groundswell English style porter
Nice level of carbonation, dark but not black like a deep red when held to the light. Nice thin head which lasts
Aroma is sweet malt with a light fruit aroma.
Taste wise matches the aroma, really interesting fruity note. Looking forward to hearing your yeast choice. Sweet malt with light chocolate. Bitterness and carbonation is spot on.
I really enjoyed this, it wasn't the beer I was expecting. Thank you for sharing

Super fresh can of one of all time favourite beers. Just 2 weeks old it's smooth bitter and a great tropical hop character

I had a Hazelwood Brewery bitter as soon as I got in from shopping having skived off early from work.
