What are you drinking tonight.

My GW Batemans Dark Mild clone. Loving this so much.

 

[MmmBeer]

Following on from jjsh, I'm drinking a bottle of my Batemans Victory Ale clone (also GW). The first bottle I tried last week seemed nice, but this one had a slight 'pear drops' aroma / flavour. A skim of my books and google suggests that the likely cause is insufficient yeast and yes I used 1 pack of CML Real Ale, for 23L of 6.5% beer, less than the recommended amount.

It's always disappointing when all that work leads to something less than you had hoped, but if you learn an important lesson from it, it lessens the blow, after all, it is still drinkable.

Had some nice fruity offerings in the sun yesterday. Both absolutely spot on. Sharknado blood orange and sea salt ipa. And a Raspberry saison by kernal.

get messy.

Uprising Treason West Coast IPA. Youngs IPA and Funky Bow Wow HB ready soon!

 

[AdeDunn]

Gorgeous weather, so it has to be a Patersbier.

My version of a malty bitter. Used some pale malt because that's all I had and home grown EKG's. Then a handful of Fuggles into the keg last week, for drinking this week. Not what I imagined, but OK. Seems to get better as the pints get poured. Or maybe I'm becoming immune.

Number 27, Polaris Single Hop Ale.

 

[marlon]

My version of a Belgian Summer Saison from last year. Bit lively, but pleasant enough. Probably better than it was last summer, but I can't remember now....

Out for tea...TT Landlord,Rudgate mango in the night..mango and citra pale...plenty of citra. ..no mango! Plus another that escapes me but was called red-brown ale which was quite nice. If was wheatwood brewery....

..and a pint of my user upper American pale..watched carefully by Mr cookie bear.

 

[marshbrewer]

2 pints of my GW Batemans Dark Mild clone (lush), plus a cheeky bottle of my last ever mini mash modified kit - Kitsters last stand, which is ageing amazingly well.

 

[marlon]

Marlon's Pride with late addition Fuggles (added to the keg 2 weeks ago).
It was meant to be a copy of London Pride but I used the wrong grains. Tasted similar but very pale. So adding late hops turned it into a pale/IPA style.... (sort of)...

#28 Styrian Goldings Single Hop Ale
Needs another week carbing, doesn't taste good yet.

 

[Ajhutch]

Pleasantly warm evening after a long day at work, perfect conditions for a refreshing turbo cider

 

[Llamaman]

Maisel's Meine Helle Weisse

Not normally a big wheat beer drinker, but got this as part of a Beer Hawk mystery case. Rather pleasant.

 

[svenito]

Mosaic from the Espiga hop collection series

Couple of pints of Batemans Valiant down the pub, then back and had a pint of mild while bottling my Summer Lighting clone.
