What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Donegal john]

Now it’s @samale triple. I was asked not to hold back on this one so I won’t
The bottle opened with a nice hiss
It poured with a nice foamy head that had stayed around the colour is lovely.
The first sip gave me marmalade and a very typical Belgian spice/phenolic aftertaste that makes me smile. It’s dry but at the same time sweet.
Each sip tempts you back in to see what else is hidden it it’s depth.
This is a very very nice beer. Well brewed well presented and very well received.
The abv is 9% and there is no hint of that apart from a slight alcohol burn on the first sip.
As it sits on the pallet it delivers hits of orange coriander and clove.
I really really like this beer a cracker and thanks for sharing.

Was it the same yeast as the saision ?

If only I could get my hoppy beers up to the same standard

Do you treat your water at all ?

Your the first to taste this one, the plan is to enter it into the LAB competition. The carbonation has only hit the scale I was looking.

West coast I use a tea spoon of sulphate, Neipa I use two tea spoons of calcium chloride. Pale beers I add acid malt

Technical genius

IMHO it’s worthy or entering. It’s a damm good beer and only shows it’s strength after it’s gone.

What’s you typical ph ? That’s the biggest factor I’ve found with my hop utisation

Now your getting too deep, I actually have a pH meter under the sink somewhere. I haven't used it yet and I bought it about 3 years ago after reading strange Steve's water report

That's what I was looking to know, I plan to send out a couple this week

My ph is around 6 so I need to bring it down a bit. It has a massive effect on how much hop aroma / flavour your beer retains. But drinking your beers you couldn’t tell.

Not impressed at all, 3 out of the 4 pack is like this

Luckily cloudwater told brewdog to stop making them months ago. Must have been sat in a warm store for months

Try a good hard chill before opening?
Shouldn't have to, but it works if I have an overcarbonated homebrew bottled batch.

Not tonight, this arvo, enjoying my West Coast IPA while watching the footy.

4.30 pm here now, kids off with my ex for the weekend. I don't think it would be to outrageous to crack a frothy and relax for the rest of the evening. Only have two types of beer in stock at the moment Amber Ale and Baltic Porter. Quite warm today so Amber it is.

Try adding some acidulated malt or citric acid/lemon juice as this will bring it down a bit.

Start of the boozy day, and while we wait for the good pubs to open, we’ve popped in Wetherspoon for a Shipyard and a half. Draught/cask beer is so underrated.

You're making me thirsty!!!

Brew York now (never been here before and it gives me cloudwater vibes!). We have a haze of thunder and a tonkoko stout.

If that's the case then cloudwater has damaged it's reputation. Really poor, I had similar of beer 52 on a discounted box which is fair enough. I knew I was buying beer that was past its shelf life.

I want to stay here all day but we can’t as we have lunch booked somewhere else. Time for one more though, so Jim has a pint of E, and I have a juice forsyth. The stout tastes just like a chocolate digestive, and my one is just pure mango, both sooo good!
