What are you drinking tonight 2023.

On to the Best Bitter now it’s cooled down a bit.

Nothing from me last night because we were celebrating our 25th Anniversary with around 90 friends and family at a hotel. Home again now and starting with a Pipster Pale because it’s chilled and the sun is really hot

No drink?

Today we're sharing a West Coast IPA from @Leon103

Appearance wise it is a dark but vibrant golden orange colour with some haze. The carbonation looks perfect on it, with a head that stuck around for quite a while. Once the head left, a quick swirl brought it back again.

On the nose we get orange which faded to a touch of caramel.

The biggest flavour I get is pithy grapefruit with decent lingering bitterness, but it's not harsh. The malt balances the bitterness nicely.

Mouthfeel is medium, but I think the creamy head gives the illusion of a little extra body.

More my husband's type of beer than mine, but a good representation of a West Coast IPA. The sending of two bottles so we could share was much appreciated. Many thanks for sending Leon.

That's a pretty good description. I was hoping for a traditional style but can't seem to shift the haze. Not my usual style but wanted something different and to use up some left over

Just endured, or rather enjoyed a beer swap with @The-Engineer-That-Brews . Had to try his Vienna pilsner

and Lockdown bitter.

Both beers were very enjoyable but my favourite was the bitter. A really nice drink. Thanks TETB.
It was hard work though and I need a rest....or another drink. A crafty NEIPA I think before dinner,

or for you northerners, tea

Weissbier, continus to be enjoyable and just got another batch on to ferment today.

Munich Helles next because I’ve not had one for a couple of days.

Winding down with a Fursty Ferret amber ale. Very nice it is too.

It's about time you brewed your own

A pint of @Buffers brewery wonderfully crisp and refreshing “Jetlag” pale ale.
Excellent cascade aroma and the level of malt was perfect for the style.
I could demolish plenty of these, and pay good money for the privilege!
