[Caramel Ox]

Tynt Meadow Blonde.

Not great TBH. Has an overwhelming earthy aroma and flavour. If I wanted to be nice I could just about say it was really dark chocolate, but it doesn't seem to work in a lighter beer (apparently same ingredients as the original).

I thought the original was overwhelmed by black treacle (my guess). I guess I like the idea of a British Trappist more than the reality.

 

[SMP Brewery]

Back in Wales in the sun. Never had this before but Salopian so as expected turned out to be good. Citrusy but not in yer face.View attachment 99509View attachment 99510

I never got the reference to Led Zeps album until I moved to the Midlands.

I’ll have to seek that one out.

I didn't get it until you just told me as despite being a West Midlander and despite LZ being inspired to write Stairway etc.by a view about 5 miles from our place in Wales I have never been knocked out by them. In 1971 I was on the entertainments committee at Southampton Uni where I got free admission to their concert and found them technically able but a bit robotic so after 20 minutes adjourned to the bar for a couple of pints of Strongs Bitter!

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I can’t drink my own beer now because I’ve cleaned the lines and disconnected all the kegs. My brew shed is off-line as we’re off to Cyprus in the early hours. I do however have a good selection of canned/bottled beers to keep me going. I’m starting with this Ernest Pale from No Frills Joe Brewing Company.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

That Ernest Joe was really nice, I do like Ernest hops. Staying with hoppy and pale(ish) this Westie from Badger Brewery next. It has a nice bitterness to it and it is a nice beer but the flavour to me is not quite what you’d expect from American hops, I wonder if the Amarillo hops are not playing nicely with the Cascade and Mosaic hops?

 

[SMP Brewery]

Munich Helles followed by a Saison, only a week old but it’s coming along.

 

[Alastair70]

I’ve put in a solid shift today, Chez70 is going on the market and there’s still so much to do. Time to sit down with a Hefe and contemplate what lies ahead.

 

[Agentgonzo]

Just transferring my blanche to the fermenter, so treating myself to a hoppy copper ale whilst the machinery does it's thing

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I maybe should have started with this one but I fancied some hops. On the other hand this is the start of my move towards malt . “Not another lager” from No Frills Joe Brewing Company. It’s a nice lager and certainly goes down well on the local festival/fete circuit.

Retire to the coast, life's alot better being close to the water

 

[Beer Elzibub]

Yesterday evening I celebrated successful completion of my second AG brew day by conducting the first tasting of the results of my first ever AG brew day. A mighty ESB. Very pleased with this.

Oh yes! We’re downsizing to a new build that’s a 15 minute walk to the north shore of Belfast lough, and 10 minutes to the train station. I plan to divide my time between there and Castlerock, and if I’m not in the sea at least I can see it
Just need to get to get Southfork sold and all will be grand. More contemplation required

 

[Herms bay]

just amazing that 25l of asda apple juice, 1kg of brewing sugar and a mangrove jack cider yeast. Kegged and carbonated with mixed acid gives a truly great cider.

 

[dave_77]

Altbier to start

 

[Caramel Ox]

Sharing a Budvar with the Mrs as I saw it in Lidl. Didn’t last long.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Staying malty now but a bit darker.

 

[LesTom]

A very nice malty golden ale this is

Yes I get my daughter and family to bring down a few bottles when they visit from Glasgow and have never seen it sold outside Scotland.

 

[Herms bay]

Can't have too many ciders as I have to cook later. Swapped to my Maize lager. Tastes a bit like morretti. looking forward to the match tomorrow....its squeaky bum time.

 

[micklupulo]

It would be perverse to be homesick amongst these verdant Welsh hills but nevertheless here's a taste of home! Nice and malty before something fresh and fruity and I do mean beer!
