Before I forget...Moberley brewery..Shooting fish,a hazy IPA,Rudgate..third wheel..pale ale,one called scarecrow and another called Yorkshire pride from breweries I forget.....
The shooting fish was £5 a pint ...I had to try it,it's just ok. My current kegged IPA knocks it into a cocked hat....
 
A Sainsburys IPA and a lot of Speckled Hen in cans. I'm currently trying to calibrate myself to "This is what 40 IBUs is like." thought it tastes malty up front but then dies back into bitterness.

The thing about homebrewing is that you start to taste things differently and what would be a playful nuance that you had to play hide and seek with before becomes a joyful expectation. I wonder if lager brewers ever get to have that....
 
Just finishing off one of these from tesco for £3 a can. Its very good and amazingly drinkable for 7.4%.
Its all about the grapefruit but the hops come through more as it warms.
If you like elvis juice you'll love this
Sounds good, I’d heard they had refreshed their range of decent beers at Tesco.

Range IPA. Bloody lovely. Added 1kg mangrove jack LME, and 500g of dextrose. These kit's are supplied with a generous size sachet of hop pellets for dry hopping, cascade, and amarillo i reckon by the aroma. Very nice drop a bit stronger then my usual brew's 5.5 percent, normally stick to about 4, to 4.5.

Yeah I picked up 6 different new 440ml cans, all £3 a can. DIPAs and sours seems to be the theme for the new range - I'll report back on one or two of the others tonight

Funnily enough doing something very similar. I bought some bottles of ghost ship specifically to calibrate because I have it in my memory bank as ‘pretty balanced but fairly fruity hoppy’ but it could easily be a year since I had it.

QC control on my 17 day bottled Foxbat Bitter. Very light carbonation as I never put them somewhere warm to carbonate,just chucked them in the shed...but they're getting there!
I must say,this is rather nice! Basic water treatment for "amber" beer seems to have upped my game a bit! Still a bit young but got a really good "bitter" taste about it.
Thanks Foxbat!!
