Stunning sessionable beer this

Is this one brewed with a partner? Whenever I think of Aussie Sparkling Ale I think of Cooper's epic.

It's a brew that originated at Brewdog's Australian brewery, it's a cracker

I went food shopping today and as usual bought a couple of beers that looked interesting. This one is a Summer Ale from Shepherd Neame. Grains are pale, crystal, cara, oats. Hops are centennial, saaz, challenger.

It is nice but not special, it’s quite malty with good bitterness, and some spicy citrus notes.

I’ve bought this one a couple of times and I think it’s because I like the name - I can easily imagine a bunch of lads (and lasses ) driving their forklifts around in a dance like they do with JCBs . The beer? OK but got a bit of an artificial flavour vibe.

It's gone 6 so just poured one my AG light bitters. In Wales so chose a bottle that once contained a Welsh bitter!

 

[NormanHurst]

To paraphrase Underworld... Lager Lager Lager, shouting mega mega Dunkel thing... sweet and malty

Delightfully zingy session beer on holiday. Loch Ness brewery.

Now a real Welsh one. Nice. Not as clear as mine but more hops.

My parents live in Conwy, but alas, I've never found the Conwy beers to be that good.

Looking at the background, are you overlooking the golf course and out onto the Conwy mountains?

CML Tropical England (fermented with CML Hornindial)

Hops are a blend provided by CML (listed as Jester, Olicana, Godiva, Mystic & Archer) and it’s just a nice refreshing Summer beer, very minimal bitterness which isn’t that surprising as mostly late hop additions plus a dry hop. Fruity flavour and all round just a nice beer.

No in Penegoes and in the distance on the right is Machynlleth Golf course often populated with death defying sheep!

Photos won't load so need to be more descriptive.

First beer after a simple bbq dinner.

Duration - Bet the farm 4.5% continental pale ale.
Light, crisp and a slight funk to it from the double pitched yeast. Slight floral from the hops. Very nice and easy drinking .

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Spoiling myself today as I’m not drinking for a while after this. Having a Jim Beam and Cherry Coke with some ice slush which melted almost instantly. So yummy though!

Sometimes a beer just suits the mood and tonight thats Tropical England. What actually suprised me with this one was the dry hoping which was added at the same time as the yeast (per the instructions) and it worked really well makes me tempted to try adding the dry hops immediately instead of after five to six days on other beers.

A couple of more Brewdog beers for tonight

Pretty decent IPA

This fella tries to be Mr President but fails in my opinion

 

[Tanglefoot]

Elderflower wine slightly over carbed if anything now but still delicious

Now having another Hook Norton offering, Off the Hook IPA while preparing supper - Korean bbq sauce marinaded frying steak, new potatoes and green salad
Interesting mix of UK ( Admiral, Challenger ) and US hops ( Chinook, Amarillo ) , nice malty bitterness
with orangey citrus aroma and taste.

Like the sound of that one

You’re taking advantage of bio-transformation there. It needs the right kind of yeast and the right kind of hops to work well (hops containing lots of thiols). If you dry hop with the wrong hops or yeast then fermentation will blow away much of the aroma you get from dry hopping.

Look into thiols. You could just search on this forum for “thiols” posted by me. I’m sure I included a link or two.

I poured this, SWMBOd's opinion was "OK, but I want mine poured clear" .
Her wish is my command :

The rest of her tin fitted comfortably in the space I had made available in mine:

I'm always glad to be of help when I can.
Coming closer to in-date cans, but not a lot.

Light but fully tasty, hoppy and refreshing 4.2%.
Just right for a start of a heatwave preprandial.
Sorry if it's rainy and cold where you are, I'm posting from the deepest Southeast mainland corner of the UK here.
Nearer to France than London!

I forgot to post this one. Again a nice beer. Maybe a little more hoppy and a little less malty than the Summer Ale I had earlier.
