Now onto @dave_77 cold ipa,a style I wouldn't mind brewing

 

[Alastair70]

‘Ethics Gradient’ passing the kegerator bar test comfortably. The bottle in the background is heading to @dave_77 so he has something to measure his American Amber against 😂

 

[Bosch]

Celebrating the victory over England and the grand slam victory with an old ale.

Lovely malty sup.

 

[Pennine]

Then this excuse for a beer, absolutely vile! 🤣 Reminds me of the contents of a patients drainage bag.

Ughh sounds about par for fruit in beer.

 

[Pennine]

I couldn't resist a pour of the Munich bitter I just kegged yesterday. Still smells like raisins but a rich caramel flavour is peeking out now. Might be worth pairing caramunich with some DRC.

 

[dave_77]

This Westie is tasty..I do love a bit of Centennial at the moment and this has a decent amount 👍🏼

 

[dave_77]

Never noticed it Belgian IPA on the label before

Happy Mother’s Day

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Part of one of my Mother's day presents, from my Tiny Rebel blending box, I'm having this Blue Razz Hard Candy Ice Sour.

Very interesting! Like a blue raspberry ice pop mixed with a stick of mint flavoured rock!

We’re round our youngest daughters today, invited for Mother’s Day. I’m in the mood for a drop of Belgian ale. I started with the Leffe Blonde.

Time for a 4.7% Hoppy Belgian Pale Ale from @dave_77

The beer is a stunning golden orange colour, and poured with a nice head. The aroma had lots of lovely hops, possibly a touch of orange and a bit of spice. As it warmed I got a hint of toast too.

We found a subtle Belgian character in the beer, and the husband gets various citrus flavours, he says lemon and perhaps lime. Decent bitterness.

Medium-light body and perfect carbonation which pushed the aroma and flavours forward.

Well-balanced combination of subtle Belgian flavour, noble hops (I think?) and malt. Very nice beer Dave.

My husband was a fan of it and he doesn't like Belgian beers. He drunk his well before I had my half!

Looked stunning in my new glasses too! 😍

Thanks again for sending, and for the generous bottle size.

The Blonde is gone, I’m on the brown now.

Italian Pils for the start of the footie

Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed it

I have been tinkering with this beer for a while trying to get a similar yeast and hop profile as one of my favourite beers Taras Boulba.

The yeast is a 50/50 blend of a Kolsch yeast and a subtle Belgian yeast.

Hops were Celia and Kazbek, aiming for a lemon citrus with a bit of floral/spice so happy that's what you got.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Definitely a success then!

Jim is much better than me at picking out flavours.

Googling the Taras Boulba. 😃

Treat yourself, they have it for a good price at Trembling Madness usually

The only downside is its only in 330 bottles over here..at 4.7% you just want to smash a pint or two😛

 

[dave_77]

Belgian pale for the second half

 

[Pennine]

Found a couple Citra wheat's from last summer. Still bright and actually quite delicious almost a year later.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

This is very sweet so might not be to many people's taste, but this is my favourite so far out of my Tiny Rebel box. So good!
