What are you drinking tonight 2022?

A pale ale is called for in this heat. Despite quite a lot of cloud cover it’s still 28C . This is the pale ale where I stuffed hops in the keg, it’s started to develop a tangerine zest flavour that I’ve not had from regular dry hopping of this beer. Interesting.

@Hazelwood Brewery is the tangerine zest flavour off putting at all. I'm about to keg my 2 beers today and one of them is an AIPA that I'm going to hop on the keg rather than hop in fv. Also, did you just drop the ss hop tube into the keg or attach to the underside of the lid?

Not off putting, no. It’s actually quite nice because it’s still subtle.

I suspended the hop spider with a length of fishing line so it hangs an inch or so above the bottom of the keg.

I should also note the initial taste is a bit grassy (not unpleasant) but the grassiness fades fairly quickly.

Smells funny but tastes good, I've drank it anyway. One of my favourite on draught but this tastes totally different.

We’re having a pint and a half of my British golden ale. Needs more carbonation still I think. It’s very light and almost lager-like. I’m not even sure how it’s supposed to be?

Wrong kind of glass but I’m having a breather while my flat bread dough rises and the chicken marinades.
My Naeb’dy Aboot v3 which I don’t think is quite as good as previous versions.

West coast IPA after judging a few Belgian Beers. Standard is good so far

I love that oxymoron Anna!

A topper of a pre-tea drink

And this was a tremendous accompaniment for our Lamb Keema curry

Different yeast in cans and cask.

Just cracked open a Munich Dunkel kindly sent to me by @samale .
Nice dark brown with a fluffy head. Low/medium Carbonation on this one.
Aroma is malty toasted bread and flavours are very similar. No harshness, smooth easy drinker. Malty and toasty with a low to medium bitterness. Light spicy hop character. Think I have only had this style once, I like it. Nice easy drinking lager

Happy you got one that was carbonated

Nice beer that!

No1 son and I kayaked to Rod & Reel pier, couple of ciders for him and Sierra Nevadas for me. We could have walked it in less than 10 minutes, but that wouldn’t have been as funny.

Picked up a selection of some new beers from Scottish breweries at Aldi today. I'm sampling the Fierce Beer/Tony Singh's collab Citrus Pale first as i was interested how the infusion would work out.

Very very slight hint of the coriander in the aroma and taste, and a little aftertaste of the lemon. Still, a very drinkable Pale Ale, and at £1.79 a can, good value. I'd definitely buy this again.

Looking forward to the rest of the beers, particularly the Indian Lager to see how the cardamom works.

 

[Alastair70]

Back home, the half hour kayak was less funny on the way home. Need a Jai Low to recover.

Bottling day tomorrow and just a couple of schooners tonight while getting everything prepared.
First of the Coopers sparkling clone. Followed by the last of my ESB.

Couldn't resist an EIPA while cooking a left over beef biryani.
