I like that glass. I mean, it forces you to not put it down
Just a trick of the light I think, it does have a flat bottom. Not that it needs one!

Never had it, but heard good reports.

Just googled it, and it's showing up on Sainsburys and Waitrose websites
SAISON!!!
At the other end of the hoppy/malty spectrum, my 6.6% Doppelbock. More malty than anything I’ve ever tasted and just maybe too malty - is that a thing?
It is only six weeks old so maybe it’s still a bit young.

radical road triple hopped IPA from stewart brewing. not getting the pine or grapefruit notes that they suggest appear but it's going down rather well. 6.7%.
I'm now chancing a tribute #3...it's definitely very good..I need to buy one to compare... again.

(Hope the hop burn calms down a bit before tasting night)
I'm having a well deserved Riwaka pale
Head retention could be better but its slipping down nicely

Bring it on
With all this talk about DIPAs I’m tempted to make a DIPA version of my Summer Breeze. I have a brew planned for the 9th.

I have just been thinking that my latest American amber is tasting it's best after 30 plus days, but I still can't resist having a taster of my latest brew after 4 days in the keg
Belgian IPA with crystal & cascade in the boil and lightly dry hopped with Amarillo and centennial.

6 weeks young...looks good
It is nice but very intense. I’m wondering if it needs longer in the way a Russian Imperial needs time. I’ve never made a Doppelbock before so not sure how long it needs to mature or how the flavour changes

You might be right! I watered down my last mouthful with some whisky
It actually tastes like a very peaty whisky. Interesting!

After the intensity of that Doppelbock I need something lighter. Saison!

Time for @strange-steve Belgian tripel.
Pours a hazy golden colour, high carbonation with a nice white head.
Aroma: sweet malt, earthy and light spice.
Flavour: great mouth feel with a good level of bitterness. Slight sweetness followed by a nice spicy after taste.
Over all a really nice beer to drink, no harsh alcohol. Not sure of the abv but I could feel a nice heat on the face after it.
Thank you again, I might need to try brewing one myself
