What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Which do you prefer. This or the summer breeze. Mosiac and Simcoe is a classic match

Summer Breeze is by far my favourite.

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!

This from Badger aka Hall and Woodhouse. Mrs T picked up a few bottles in Sainsbury. She has been asked to pick up a few more next time.

Never had it, but heard good reports.

 

[Jon1964]

Can you get them in the supermarket

Just googled it, and it's showing up on Sainsburys and Waitrose websites

After a busy afternoon kegging this dipa at 7.9% for the little brewoff with @dave_77 @Leon103 and @Hoddy

(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

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.

Bring it on

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.

 

[dave_77]

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

I have never had one but at that strength probably needs 3-6 months

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

 

[Leon103]

Seeing that @dan125 as cracked his, I have done the same. Kegged earlier so a bit fresh. Flavour is good with a slight hop burn or alcohol on the back of the tongue. Showing promise though

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

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

Moved on to my own Belgian pale ale
