Looks spot on

Consoling myself after watching Bath play rugby. I probably need therapy after this season but beer will have to do.

I think I’m gonna have a beer break now for a few days, but I fancied a V+O for a change!

According to my spread sheet this has now had 399 days in the bottle and it is quite curious how it has changed over time. When I first tried a bottle at about 30 days I would have described it as a Saison however after over a year in the bottle it has become a very different beer. While it still has hints of a typical Saison it is dulled somewhat with the flavour from the malt becoming much more prominent. I do like Saisons but I am extremely tempted to make this again and then just forget about it for a year or so might even go for the Wyeast French Saison yeast again rather than using a dried yeast.

I’ve spent the afternoon basking in the sun, our garden is a bit of a sun trap and it’s been glorious. Going in now but not before taking a picture of my first drink of the evening, Czech Pilsner.

Seems to be a few varieties of wheat beer available here. Better start wading through them!

A nice stout to start the night.

A couple (well 3) high points from Brewdog Inverurie today:-
First up Triple Agent a cracking version of a Brewdog Triple

Next was a Prototype version of a West Coast IPA

And I finalised with the astonishingly good Southern Discomfort stout

Starting today with a Munich Helles from @Alastair70.

Just a heads up - I had to look up the guidelines for this one as I'm not sure how it's supposed to be. Please excuse my very amateur description.

Alastair's beers never disappoint - we have a medium bodied, malty lager with a slight bitterness and slight spicy hop flavour and aroma. I understand this is exactly to style, and is very tasty. Alastair's beers are always very fresh and much better than commercial examples in my opinion.

The only criticism I could give it was the very slight carbonation it had and lack of head. Obviously the journey can impede this though so not too much of a problem.

My lager hating husband loves it - you've won him over again Alastair!

Thank you for sending - we have really enjoyed it!

Sorry about the carbonation, I’ll blame the bottle filler and the trip across the pond for that.
Glad you enjoyed it despite that, this has become my house lager and there’s always one on tap. This particular keg has come out especially well. I needed a win after pouring its predecessor down the drain

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

No problem whatsoever - the flavour was amazing as always, and very grateful you were willing to go to the trouble of sharing!

Continuing the Trappist theme. Had the quad last night so this is a bit easier going in comparison.

 

[Alastair70]

Maggies Leap for me, my favourite local beer. A hoppy American style IPA.
Mrs70 is having a properly carbed Helles (apologies to Tess T)

Tess T’s surely!

 

[Griff097]

Another first, we'll this keg anyway, a Dublin Stout and its bloody lovely

 

[Alastair70]

Tess T’s surely!

I got an E in O-level English first time round, I’ll have to take your word for it

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Tess T’s surely!

One of me is enough!

I think I had an F, they would have a label instead of a hat for it these days
