I was given this over Xmas, not the sort of thing I'd usually buy and its disappointing, just very thin not a patch on the likes of Lightbulb.
This is more like it, my Challenger Verdant IPA

Finished work for the week...thank the lord! It was tough going back after an extended Christmas break.
Anyway...its the weekend!
Just battled it out to Ice Station Zebra (the garage) in trepidation that my beer might be frozen!
It's not thankfully but the cold is putting it in fine fettle! The Tribute is now spot on,once it warms up a bit!

I tipped that one down the drain

Is that one of those expensive supermarket beers that rarely live up to the blurb on the tin? I gave up on those ages ago.

Regular.
Citra and mosaic night for me
Sub-zero temperatures mean it must be a night for another rum and vanilla Porter. I should let this age a bit but no way this keg is lasting long enough…
For a kit this is really good, simply bitter pimped
Its 6pm somewhere

Oh my god! Never thought I'd see Buckfast on this forum
not sure if this is just a west of Ireland thing but that was the teenage quick route to non sobriety in my day."Bottle of B for the lads before causin trouble. Bukky all round"
It was discovering Huck a Back that started my love of NEIPA’s and anything hazy a great pint
An addition to post # 193:
The tasting of our best bitters is over.
My favourite is number two in picture 193 from the right.
A name has been found: "Saxon's Best Bitter".
The Best Bitter has a full malt body with a good mouthfeel, a light caramel flavour and a moderate bitterness on the finish.
Stable foam, as is usual in Germany. The colour is bright amber, the beer is crystal clear.
ABV is at the upper limit at 4.6.
I will report on the competition result in March.

Marble Manchester Bitter, their homage to Boddies.
Delicious. I do miss these hoppy, pale Northern bitters.

Seems a bit smoky. Don't think it's meant to be, otherwise it'll have been called Barlow's.
Black stuff because my own isn't ready.

Finished brewing a batch of Pilsner and it’s in the fermentor so might as well have a bottle of the previous batch of Pilsner.
It’s rather effervescent, and fairly high on the carbonation giving it a slight bight from the carbonic acid, hops provide a good underlying bitterness, it’s not an exceptional Pilsner but it’s still not bad at all either.

I’ve been in Holland for a few days with work, didn’t manage to take any pictures of the various beers, the only one I can remember is proper Leffe Blonde.
Got home to no gas so have bought a few locally ish beers.
First up from Holdens what seems reading the back a SMASH beer, just Maris Otter & Fuggles and it’s a very nice pint.

Did you see any windmills?
