Gimme that c.v tasting even better

Black Albert in Cognac barrels this one is fabulous. I have yet to be dissapointed by a Struise beer.

Just had a wee Google, looks and sounds delicious

Little Mosiac and Hallertau Blanc pale for me

Verdant west coast dipa.
Interesting to try this style from Verdant.
Lovely resinous bitter finish but the aroma isn't as intense as their hazies

Moving on to my Best Bitter next.

Couldn't resist the chance of doing a little side by side comparison of the Verdant west coast ipa and my own.
Not really a fair contest as the Verdant is 2% stronger than mine
The Verdant has a lovely smooth resinous quality that is missing in mine but I do think I win in the aroma dept

@matt76 baltic porter, had one of these back in september and it's still a fantastic beer, if not better. I mentioned that this one was smooth drinking, medium to full bodied with hints of coffee and stone fruit. It hasnt changed immensely but if anything less coffee more stone fruit and smoother than before which is how I thought it would go. It's a lovely drop, doesn't taste like a 9% beer, it's a sipper but it goes down nicely.

Coming in at a close second, is a win IMO

Starting with an American amber. Still too fruity for the style.

My stock is running low

I’m feeling the Summer Breeze right now

It might just be, but that looks a bit darker than your previous brews ? You changed anything in this one or is it just the light and me having had a few sherbets

It’s the subdued lighting. It’s a lot lighter in daylight. I won’t be drinking the batches with the darker malt for at least a couple of weeks (unless I get greedy, OK more greedy!).

It does have a good hop aroma @dan125. I couldn't resist, fancied something different. Cheers

What's the recipe on that on @dan125

Big game on Sunday @dave_77

Another Best Bitter, my wife finished off my last pint and then wanted her own “small glass” - why there are two glasses in the pic. This beer is 8 weeks conditioned and probably at it’s best now. Love it.

Saving mine for the weekend

Yes , big game. I not getting carried away but I think we will give it a good go. I'm just treating myself looking at the top half of the table and not the bottom

 

[Leon103]

Decided to crack the keg on my latest hazy ipa. Oh my, words can't describe this.

That looks amazing. What hops did you use. Love the glass

Strange season so far
