@Hazelwood Brewery thanks for the beers. I thought it would be best taste side by side.

There was a clear winner with me and SWMBO picking the same one.

Appearance- 1st version. I think if you are making a fruit sour it should be murky just like if you added fruit to it. The clearer one reminds me of Swedish cider.

Aroma - both the same, could really tell them apart.

Mouth Feel- prefer the 1st version, just seems to be a bit thicker and higher alcohol content feels better in the mouth.

Flavour - 1 version. Tastes more sour and lot more fruiter. I would even say I could handle more of it. The second one had a funny artificial taste to it, which seemed more prominent in the froth, which you can see is a different colour and lot bigger.

Two great sours but I personally like them fruity and sour so the 1st version wins.

A new stout from Brewdog which is too thin and a bit lacking in flavour...disappointing

A porter next, think this keg is about to kick.

I got one of those in the swap too, it’s one of the stand out beers I’ve had this year. Enjoy!

Excuse the slippers but I’m 70 next month

On to my pale ale. On the dregs of the keg now. Been meaning to brew another but things keep getting in the way. Hopefully this week.

Also when I was outside I thought I would check on my fridge stocks and pulled these out. Had them over a year and been putting them off. Thought I would have little taste. Both were ok actually, better than I was expecting. The NM was full of bits though.

Something different tonight, brown and bitter split or that's what they call it here. Half Muntons old English bitter and half Muntons Imperial Stout, very nice.

Ohh and I was just about to comment

Early try of my tripel, I don't think it will make this month's competition. It needs time, I might brew a back up beer incase this isn't good to send to the LAB competition.

Another bought one, I saw a Victory in Morrisons the other day, not had it in years, nice and fruity, like it.

 

[Donegal john]

With the improvement in the weather the wife gave the bar a good clean when I was cutting the grass so may as well have a few drinks here. Feels like summer is on the way.

Now this a cracker from Siren, gives me the inspiration to buy some Simcoe hops and brew a SMaSH beer with them.
