What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[samale]

Are you working or planning a big night!

No I have children who don't go to bed at a normal time
So this is the only chance I get to enjoy my own company. Some music and a beer or two

Oh no! I’m now so old I’ve forgotten how life works with younger children, we just hand them back!

They always say you enjoy your grandchildren better

Trying this Neipa next. Looks the part unfortunately the hops have gone. It says consume fresh within 3 weeks of packaging on the can. It was canned September last year

MJ grapefruit is a nice kit

Lovely it's the second time I've done it. My son enjoys it toonot really fruity but definitely grapefruit on the end.

What’s the penalty for trying to poison someone in a home-brew bottle swap @UKSkydiver had kindly offered a bottle swap, so I thought I better sample my Belgium Triple before agreeing its awful, it has a flavour somewhat reminiscent of nail varnish and I was slightly worried that I was going to throw up. I am really not sure what went wrong here, I will wait until tomorrow before attempting to throw this out as still slightly reeling.

So my apologies I am going to have to pull out of the bottle,swap,on the grounds that homicide I understand tends to be frowned upon.

Shame as it’s being a while since I have had a genuinely terrible batch , at least I tried it before sending it.

tonight folks we have a plum porter which was very kindly provided by @Hazelwood Brewery
not going to attempt a review because it would fall rather short but the coffee notes and dark roasty tang go perfectly with the rain lashing the windows as it is currently. a pint of cosy.

thank you for sharing this

After the beer that I will not speak the name of for fear of it returning, I am having a can of Gun Brewery Red IPA this is a rather nice beer sweet but with a good underlying bitterness.

I just love this beer it is banana rich easy to drink and agter spending the night drinking IPA’s such a nice contrast.

My first attempt at a New England IPA

It tastes as good as it looks, very very pleased with this effort

 

[Tanglefoot]

Very palatable French lager from Asda, usually grab a few on our online shop when I see them.
Cheap and cheerful but punchy 5.5% with nice bready malt, more bitter than sweet if a little thin.

Thought I would give this the benefit of the doubt as I haven’t been impressed with the past offerings , collaboration between walled city brewery and rough brothers wish I hadn’t bothered. Looks like pond water and tastes as bad. Never again lesson learned.

 

[Clint]

Not bad...

 

[chillipickle]

Looks great hopsteep, only trouble is, it won't last very long

After 6 days off the grog, back with a bang, trusty old McEwans champion.

I’m starting with a guest ale tonight. This is a Saison! from @Clint , flavoured with Saaz. I love Saaz in a Pilsner so I’m quite looking forward to this.

Carbonation is good. A healthy blast of CO2 as I cracked the cap and you can see from the picture the bubbles rising in the glass. The colour is a beautiful gold with an amber tinge. Clarity is excellent, I can clearly see the image on the TV through the crystal clear beer. A thin white head stuck around.

The aroma is typically saison with peppery spice and light fruity notes, in this case a delicate zesty orange.

The flavour is again typically saison with a clean slightly herbal quality and just a passing hint of sweetness before a mild bitterness takes over. Mouthfeel is good with a soft fizzy sensation as you press the beer against the roof of your mouth - makes me smile.

There are no off flavours or astringency at all, just a really nice, clean, well-made saison. Great job Clint, nicely done:hat:
