What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[NormanHurst]

One of my atypical British Golden Ales. A good drop but a mite too sweet and strong to be a proper beer garden refresher. First beer since Sunday as trying to kick a bit of excess weight before I have to head back to work in September.

I'm just finishing off saison hopped with Nelson from @samale
Good carbonation and head retention, pretty much stuck around till the end.
Aroma I found unusual, like a spicy fruit. It didn't smell like nelson but fruity blend of hops and yeast. Flavour had more of a citrus wine like flavours but again changed by the yeast into something different. I have just used Nelson for the first time in a pale and it was interesting to see how the Belgian yeast has changed the profile of the hops. I really enjoyed the beer, nice and smooth well brewed beer. Be interested to know what the finishing gravity was because although it didn't taste sweet ,for me it had some body to it and felt it could do with feeling a little dryer. Cheers thanks for sharing

Afternoon pints with No.2 son on the new City Pier at Anna Maria Island. Yuengling Lager for me, Pulp Friction hazy IPA for him. (I wasn’t a fan of it personally, top marks for the tropical/grapefruit hop aroma and flavour, but overly bitter even for my taste).
Didn't have my phone unfortunately, so no pictures.

It's a nice beer, I pulled that of the keg nearly two weeks ago. It's my first time kegging a saison, for me bottle conditioned is far superior. Your also spot on with your comment about it having body. I used wyeast french saison 3711. It finished at 1.002 but you wouldn't think it.
I plan one more brew with the yeast then I will move on to another. I do like the flavour profile it provides and it also complements hops like hallertau blanc and Nelson in my opinion

Mangrove Jacks Pink Grapefruit.

Very nice and significantly better than my first attempt after returning to kit brewing.

The previous got severely oxidized during and after kegging from not purging gas lines and removing them far too frequently. Lesson learned!

This is my bottle conditioned golden ale for the forum swap. It's hopped using harlequin, this is my second attempt at a golden ale. Its not a beer that blows me away, it's nice and an easy drinker. More tasty than a lager but falls short of a pale ale.


My bottle condition beer suits the beer style better. It has a better carbonation

Wasn't going to have a pint tonight but ended up in the pub after an evening ride. Europe's largest cultural festival is in town for 10 days people everywhere and seems a good atmosphere.

The beer, well it was a cider, super cold and refreshing.

1.002 amazing..did it have lots of wheat or oats that contributed to the mouthfeel? I have only used dry French saison but I think it definitely is more suited to citrus hops.

Brewed another Saison, made some adjustments after getting feedback from the LAB competition

3kg pilsner
500g Vienna
500g wheat
300g sugar @10mins

Short 30 min boil
20g Nelson sauvin@10mins
30g Nelson sauvin@flameout

Using wyeast french saison 3711, I mashed low. I will ferment at 24 to get more yeast character in the beer. I might do a small dry hop depending how the sample tastes as at the end
OG 1.050

I dry hopped with 25g of Nelson

 

[Pennine]

This might be in my top 5 beers. It seems to get better each time I have it.

thats is a lovely area of Florida , recommend the airboat ride at Boggycreek if your at a loose end.

On the chippy run tonight so just the one, a long neck OF IPA with Target bittering hops. Brewing the Fullers London Pride clone on Sunday. I put the yeast starter on the go yesterday and have already changed the bittering hop from Target to Ella, after having this one I may just change it back to Target again!

[Baldylocks Brewery]

Last commute home for two weeks so a little brew selection for the trip

 

[micklupulo]

A couple of my AG light bitters suffered from the extreme heat in the shed here in Wales so brought a couple of fresh ones from home and am pleased to say this is fine. Excuse the Coors glass but it's the cleanest! Cheers!

Let the weekend commence!

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Went out for pub lunch so a bit late to the party. I had Neck Oil, Sussex Best, and Whitstable Bay and can’t say I was overly impressed by any of them. Shame.

Anyway, back to my own and I’ve just had an English Bitter and a Spruce Saison. Forgot to take a picture of any of these, sorry! Now on the Weissbier and I have taken a picture of that
