What are you drinking tonight 2023.

[Hazelwood Brewery]

My second guest beer of the night is this English Bitter from @Leon103

A nice crystal clear amber coloured beer with a loose off-white head and soft to medium carbonation. The head dropped to a light covering over the beer and slowly faded to a ring around the glass toward the end of the pint.

The aroma is earthy with low level spice and a little caramel.

The flavour is that of a traditional malt forward bitter with just a hint of honey. Bitterness is soft and nicely balanced which together with a medium body and clean dry finish makes this a very easy drinking beer.

I really enjoyed this Leon and confess the glass was empty before this post was finished

Thanks very much!

Tried my latest fruity wheat beer, went down a treat

Then I had this beezer from the masters of the sour beer art

Blueberry wheat sounds a cracker

Thank you for the kind review. Of course it was your recipe that gave me the inspiration

Just finished honey porter brewed by @Leon103 . Tasty porter flavours of dark fruitx coffee and chocolate. Not getting any honey but really nice smooth porter

The wife is roasting a chicken so I have taken the kids to the clubhouse. Indoor play for them.

A pint of skinners for me.

A warm up of my witbier before tasting the final one from the swap.
It's like stretching before exercise...

Don't be fooled by the giant head. It vanished like a fart in the wind

Snap! I also got one hoping it might be like Munich Dunkel that I have never tried?

I'm no Dunkel expert but this is a decent beer. Crisp and clean but some darker malty notes. Quite happy with it.

Been super busy today with lots of brewing jobs. But managed to squeeze these beers in.

First this Buxton one to share. Then I cleaned my lines and put two of my beers on tap so had to try them.

Festbier is ok but definitely not ready yet, and a small taste of my tripel. Best thing I've ever made, and that's saying something as we don't normally go for Belgian beers.

Back home and this gloomy weather suits a malty one better so here's a Spitfire. I have one more in stock at 4.5% ABV which will be the end of an era as SN have just reduced the strength to 4.2%.

Interesting on the change. There will be more about with duty increases from August 1. We'll be seeing a lot more 11% and lower wine on the shelves - especially whites.

2nd of the evening @SMP Brewery neipa.

Full disclosure, not usually a neipa fan, most of the commercial neipas I've bought have been a bit too much for me.

However.. Nice fruity, almost bubblegum aroma, I'd eat my hat if mosiac isn't in this. Thin head which lasts.

It's lighter than the picture would suggest, hazy as it should be.

Citrus, bubblegum taste, initially bitter but smoothes out quickly with a sweet aftertaste. Nice mouthfeel, quite full, velvety. Lightly carbonated which suits this beer well.

Thank you so much!
