Beer?

[theclaud]

Orange coloured? Tick
Cloudy? Tick
Grapefruity? Almost certainly Tick

Son#2 would love this. Having said that he's at Leeds Fest with 30 cans of Greene King IPA he has managed to smuggle past security. Not a great beer but I wasn't going to buy Punk cans for him, despite his pleadings

It wasn't terribly grapefruity!

So it's a pale ale made with Bramling X hops from Worcestershire. American yeast and a bit of American hop just for clean bitterness.

It's over 6%: will finish about 6.5%.

Bramling X is supposed to give berry flavour and I think you get that.

I've just racked to a clean fermenter to condition and clear - will bottle next Saturday.

Roses are Brett from To Ol. A funky saison brewed with raspberries and Brettanomyces. This is just great. Nice soft funk, a bit of tartness from the fruit and a lovely raspberry aroma and flavour.

I'm sure the beer's lovely but what the f*** is it doing sitting on a piece of slate?

ISTR that they're called "bevnaps", although I may have misremembered.

(Beverage Napkins, one presumes, but as I think I heard it in the 'states, who knows.)

I 'Liked' this but obviously I'm horrified by it.

I'm not liking that.

Cloud water DIPA!

Want!

 

[Supersuperleeds]

is 4:20 too early for a drink? Saying that I've only got a couple of cans of Kronenbourg and Kopperberg cider so don't know if they count as a drink anyway

Far too quaffable for a 9% DIPA.

They had v6 and v7, can't quite recall why I went for v7. I might call in and get the v6 to try tonight. Not entirely sure if it lives up to the hype though - I kind of want a 9% beer to taste lilke it has that much alcohol in it.
