Munich Helles. A possible competition entry if my German pilsner doesn't cut it.

I’m having a Pirate Pale to celebrate the completion of a small job I’ve been meaning to do - I’ve just fitted an “air admittance valve” to my under-bar sink to stop it from glugging when I empty it. The silence as the sink drains is so satisfying I feel far more happy than I ought for such a simple thing!

First up this evening is a Altbier kindly sent by @samale

Nice dark copper colour, good head when poured and plenty of lacing on the glass aroma is malty with a raisin/plum.
Malty flavours but clean with a mild toast and a little toffee. It has a mild herbal hop flavour and medium bitterness. Drinks a little like a English pale as it has a medium body with the medium bitterness.
Very nice easy drinking beer, nice and smooth. I think for my taste it could do with a little more bitterness and a bit more German hop flavour. Good brew👍🏼

Cheers Dave. My previous Altbier was very similar to an English bitter. The one you had is my second attempt, I changed the yeast. This one was Cali common from CML, it had a cleaner finish and less body. Both nice beers 👍
 
After a long walk around the harbour in Dubrovnik we happened across a nice little restaurant (called "Peppers") in the middle of a building site (they're rebuilding the road) and they were still open!

This the draught lager, well I was very hot and thirsty.
After a slow stroll back after lunch, time for a supermarket can bought yesterday and suitably chilled.

Was in Croatia last September (Split), beautiful. Will have to add Dubrovnik onto the list. Were a few craft places and I did have this Zmasjska Pils, but was more than happy to just drink Krušovice Černé most of the time.

Are they just using Euros now?
