I thought I’d actually binned this because after a couple of weeks in the FV it was rough as hell and insanely bitter.
But it turns out I hadn’t, and in fact it spent the whole summer at 4° in my ‘spare’ fridge, still in the FV (!)
And having discovered it last week, it’s clear as a bell and actually tastes pretty darn good.
I think it must be a record for the time spent on the sediment though.

Stopped for couple of pints after work. A pint of Reliance by Brixton, very nice pale. Then a pint of Guinness.

Starting at home with this from Turning Point. I saw @dan125 having a box from these so I thought I would get this from my LBS. Only now seeing its only 4% which for a westie is a but weak. Loads of bitterness but nothing else going on with it..a but poor

I wondered what you had a pink marigold on your right hand and what you were holding, but it seems to be your settee

See what you mean!! As it happens, the pink marigold and what I was holding were out of shot. Fortunately.

Paulaner Aldi Oktoberfest.
Not to bad tbh.

Cheers Tess, you too

Treat time (and I may have had more than one NZ Pale in between ).
@phildo79 Kinnegar Rustbucket clone. Top job, it’s a really good stab at recreating the original. Hops seem spot on, maybe a bit more rye on the malt side?? It’s been a while since I had one so I’d be interested in your take.
It’s a well executed brew and I loved every sip, thank you for sharing it

 

[Leon103]

This is really nice

Last day of our 40th anniversary trip to beautiful Aruba. Just waiting for another local brew to be served from Balashi Brewery, which is very popular here.
It's quite a nice spot to have a beer too. 34°C at the moment...

Thanks for the kind review. I got the recipe off @Donegal john and the fella's comments seemed spot on. Close but something missing on the back end. Must say though, it has improved with a little age.

I think I would probably up the rye in the malt bill, just a bit, and ramp up the FO and dry hops a good bit. Pretty sure I will have another stab at this.

Snap. Enjoyed this one, although out of the box I've not had a bad one yet. 3 in.

Lidl had some left.

Small glass of wine to start the evening.

Wolfpack Second Row again.

Took a picture this time.

A final Aruba Ariba whilst we wait on a taxi to the airport…

 

[SMP Brewery]

Thought I’d give my Impy for the brew and swap a try.

Couldn’t drink too many of these, I think it might be over carbonated, not much aroma but got coffee and chocolate on the pallet.

My wife gets licorice and likes it

Starting this evening with a Munich lager that I found in Sainsbury's..nice enough. Think it's a Helles , which makes sense as not bitter enough for my taste. Nice flavour all the same

 

[Tanglefoot]

Early taste of this Challenger IPA, bittered with Magnum. Kegged a week ago, lovely orangey citrus bitterness.



Don't usually brew or buy session ales but was given this and really enjoyed it.
