Started with a wopf rock from Sharps not seen one of these in the shops for a long time. I've never been keen but took a punt again and it's still very meh.
And then a Bengal Lancer which is one of my faves, I'd like to try and clone one in the future

I can’t think it’s doing them any good but I don’t know anyone at Cloudwater to ask, maybe it is good for them!
I think Sea Fury is the best ale from Sharps. It’s one of my favourites but l’m not anywhere near as keen on any of the others.
Yeah I agree, Sea Fury is great, obviously Doom Bar is the one you see most but it's not a patch on Sea Fury. The Pilsner (cant remember the name) is dreadful.
I quite like Doombar when it’s at it’s best but it’s hard to find a pint at it’s best, even in Cornwall.

Going for a safe bet. A dunkelweizen
Is that you or me?
You're right, I think it has to be kept well. I've had too many bad pints, can't drink it now.

That's a hell of a lot of hops! What are you brewing?

Last pint of my Admiral IPA before keg kicked, made some interesting beers with this hop.

Not bad
It's a much underrated beer, that one. I think people assume it's rubbish because it's so cheap, but it's a nice, ordinary light bitter. I'd love to try it on cask, but I've never seen it.
First one after a long brew day.

I do actually find Banks Bitter rather nice but as I generally have a keg of session bitter on tap I rarely buy commercial bitter outside of pubs (Also I find bottled bitters tend to be just slightly too highly carbonated for my taste).
As for what I’m drinking Youngs Harvest Barley Wine Kit, I brewed this over a year ago and it is just genuinely nice I don’t drink it often as it is the opposite of a session beer and nice to drink while I wait for the batch of Irish Red I’m brewing to come to the boil.
Wine time, a rather nice left bank claret.
Time for a guest ale. This one came from @LisaMC and is a 4.6% Vienna Lager.
It looks good from the off - crystal clear amber nectar, nicely carbonated.
Aroma is quite low-level being very cold but definitely some grainy-sweet malt, a little spice and maybe just a hint of caramel, otherwise very clean.
The flavours are initially quite complex and difficult to distinguish - a rush of malt, hops, bitterness, sweetness. After a few seconds a spicy hop flavour steps up and fades to a lingering toasty malt flavour. Very nice. The bitterness is quite soft and nicely balanced. Smooth and easy drinking.
Thanks very much Lisa, nice job
