What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[DocAnna]

We are having @DocAnna's Naeb'dy Aboot Red Festbier - love the name!

These are my favourite type of beers - variations of a style that enables you to make it your own, and exactly how I brew myself.

The description on the side of the can is definitely accurate - I get the notes of toasted marshmallow and the hob nobs as you mention Anna. I even get an aftertaste of nougat which is amazing.

The beer is perfectly clear with a light carbonation that doesn't do a disappearing act. I would say it's top end of light-bodied to bottom end of medium. Tastes very clean and is very refreshing. It's very muggy here today and it's going down a treat.

I think the bitterness and sweetness is perfectly balanced. I may be way off - but can I taste saaz hops in it?

I think this is a very well-made lager with lots of flavour up front. We are both loving it.

Thank you for sharing - exceptional as always.

Wow, thank you lots. You and @The-Engineer-That-Brews are the first people to try this version 2 of the Naeb'dy which used a different yeast and a bit of a different balance with the RedX grain. I was worried it didn't have the complexity and slight sweetness of the first version but it's conditioned nicely.

I’m just glad that I didn’t try to empty the keg a few days ago!

All I can say is “It’s getting better!” Which possibly means it will be perfect
and then I’ll run out!

A pint of neck oil. Not a bad pint.

Going through these beers a bit quick today, but I’d better slow down as I’ve a couple of hours cooking to do later

I need to stop trying this as there’ll be none left, but we’re sharing a bottle of my hefeweizen. If I say so myself it’s one of the better ones I’ve done.

Will be sending some out asap, as long as they don’t explode

Indeed I've been quaffing the @DocAnna Naeb'dy Aboot and it's another cracker! Particularly impressed with the crystal clarity and the silky mouthfeel - yum.... At pretty much 6% I'm taking it steady tho :-)

Just doing a hopstand with Citra in an American Wheat, with a badly pored Sierra Nevada!

A bit late getting started on a beef stew for tonight. This is ‘Oh my darling’ from a brewery just a few miles up the road. This is a clematis and pomegranate sour - which is ok but doesn’t have the fruitiness I’d hoped for.

Tonight’s room beer - while my wife is making herself (even more ) beautiful is this Weiss.

Last one for a while before I go chain myself to the kitchen sink

You don’t get to my age without learning to sidestep the odd verbal tripwire!

My new Kiwi pale, I had one last week and I wasn't sure about it, nice aroma but not much flavour, however it seems to have improved. Quite watermelony, and ok rather than good.

What hops did you use?

What hops did you use?

Magnum to bitter but motueka and rakau late and dry hop.

Glad I bought a 4 pack yum

Starting at The Brewery with a nice pale ale. I’m eyeing up a 9% Imperial Red and a 7% IPA so I might be having a nap shortly.
