I’m starting tonight with a guest beer from
@Griff097. This one is labelled as a Speckled Hen clone at 5.5%
View attachment 60694
The beer is fairly softly carbonated with a small nearly-white head that dispersed quickly to a ring of bubbles round the glass and then hung around. The beer is Amber in colour and is crystal clear.
The aroma is bready malt and a little toffee. The flavour is nice but I’m afraid the beer doesn’t taste like Speckled Hen. It is malty and there’s a good bitterness though. There is a little sweetness and a slight tackiness on my lips so I suspect a medium attenuation yeast. There are subtle fruity notes too that I think might be stone fruit? The finish is a lingering bitterness - and then it’s all gone!
Thank you!
