Burton Bridge Bitter 22/05/14. Brewed with 500g Medium spray malt and 570g brewing sugaring. Temp at pitch high at about 24 as opposed to 21 that they suggested. Taste at brewing is nice dark and malty. Bottled this on Sunday 8th June when OG reached 1010. Nice tasting beer with a kind of spicy aftertaste, looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
Tasted on 13th June..before even going to the garage! Really lovely smooth tasting beer although still a bit green...if this is allowed to I think it will be a good one.
Update 04/10/14. Pretty disappointing beer. Very little head retention following initial foam. Smell is nice, somewhat alcoholically with fruity tinge and a kind of liquorice/spicy nose. Taste follows this to a small extent but the overwhelming taste is of a beer that hasn't been fermented out and still has all the fruity/sour taste without the balance of bitters So smell and look (a nice darkish brown) are good, but taste not really up to the advertising! If I got this in a pub I would be questioning how they kept their beers its that un-beer like. Not unpleasant but certainly disappointing IMHO.
PS Although most people who have tried this beer compliment it on how "smooth" it is.
