What are you drinking tonight 2021?

It's actually one of the few from TR that doesn't include any flavourings.

*based on a conversation with a friend who knows a couple of people working there.

Well they have done a fantastic job with getting as much flavour out of the hops alone. The beer is very light and tropical. I assumed they used essence or hop oil of some sort.

Happy Friday all
First try of a bottle of this.
Bottled 6 weeks ago, full bodied, malty and an aftertaste of bonfire toffee (I used 0.5 kg Dark Candi suger)
First Gozdawa kit.
Went down to 1.005 after 3 weeks

I will check about the hop oil, or other hop enhancing products.

I’m starting the weekend with a guest ale. This one is from @Pennine and is a 7% Belgian Sour Blonde and I’m looking forward to it.

The beer is well carbonated and on opening the bottle the carbonation lifted the sediment a little. The beer is a beautiful golden brown colour tinged with an orange glow and capped with a thin white head that lasted. The beer isn’t fully clear as a result of the sediment lifting.

The aroma is making my mouth water already with a familiar waft of spice and bubblegum - so good. There is also a little orange or citrus lurking in there.

As soon as you take a sip your tongue is hit with the flavours of a really nice strong Belgian ale but almost immediately tangy marmalade takes centre stage. As the marmalade fades the flavours revert to sweet spicy bubblegum Belgian ale. At no point does the alcohol (remember this is 7%) come out of hiding.

This beer is very smooth and very flavoursome. I’m really enjoying it and could definitely drink more! Thanks very much @Pennine for sending me this lovely ale.

No, not hops alone. This particular beer is loaded with fruit concentrate.

I had that beer a couple of week's back. As usual a cracking beer from @Pennine. Did you get the sour version as well

Like pulp

8 degrees and Galway bay. You can't go wrong

This is the sour version. I used the word “tangy” in my description because this is a pleasant and gentle version of sour. All the “sours” I’ve had up to now have been mouth-puckering and this wasn’t at all, just a nice tangy sour.

It's a lovely beer.

Yes, I guess.

 

[chillipickle]

A nice hazy from my local brewery, nelson citra simco mosaic.

 

[samale]

Yes, I guess.

Be care with pulp It can leave a very sharp bitter finish. My only experience was with Mango pulp. A coulis might be a better option

 

[strange-steve]

I will check about the hop oil, or other hop enhancing products.

Love the nice new orange badge Leon

 

[Donegal john]

Helles up first to get it over with. Not a massive fan of lagers but trying to broaden the range. Nice enough malty with a sweetness and a bitter finish. Decent enough with the daughters signature spaghetti bolognaise. (She’s 23 and is learning to cook lol)

Full Sale and the Citra are excellent and bursting with flavour but be careful because they are easy drinkers....
