Treat yourself

 

[Donegal john]

Treat yourself

I did. Got 7 in Tesco for that.

Another first
Tastes like a stout.

 

[stubrewworx]

That was my first thought.

I aint good with flavoir descriptors. But I'm confident off oxidised flavours. This certainly didnt taste oxidised.

Czech amber lager. Sent a few out, looking forward to see how they get on. First time brewing this style

 

[samale]

@Hopsteep I would be interested in seeing the recipe. I need to add a few English style brews to my collection

Have had commercial beers before and they were oxidised but didn’t taste it cause they were very fresh. Possibly a bad angle for the photo

That sounds good. Fancy a swap for my Talus pale?

Sounds like a plan mate

Will bottle after the BH

Night cap. I have been looking to try this for a while. Lervig 3 bean imperial stout 12%.
I really can't describe how good this is. Velvet finish, really smooth. Vanilla, coffee and Tonga bean
@Pennine this is your type of beer.

I use target a lot for bittering Foxy, have you ever done a smash with it if so how was it

No, came close. Bittering hop Target aroma EKG and Target dry hop

Ahh, the elusive taste of a British summer...
Elusive as the forecast for decent weather on a bank holiday weekend.

Not yet tried an Exmoor gold attempt, and a bit underwhelmed by a summer lightning attempt last year, I think the golden ales are hard to mimic well. My most pleasing attempt so far was the low ABV Burton Bridge Golden Delicious. An absolutely delightful brew that smacked of English summer! Ahhh!

Malt bills are simple just pale malt, it is the hops which is the tricky bit. I put one in a comp under someone else, we all agreed it was pretty much spot on, nice back of the tongue bitterness. Got hammered by the judges, they didn't want English hops but American hop flavours. Checked their credentials none of the 3 were accredited judges. I would like to know what hops are in the Golden Ales in the UK?

Is this for a British golden ale. I have had two recently from forum swaps. It seems a hybrid between an English pale and and American pale. English hops to bitter with a new world hop for aroma

Hop wise but obviously a very light colour

 

[Jim Brewster]

Finishing off with a takeout, an IPA from Lister, tastes like cold tea not sure if it's gone past it's best, a little bland but its beer

English Golden Ale can be hopped with either, just frustrating when someone who is judging cannot read the guidelines. S I was wondering what the Golden Ales in the UK are hopped with. They are American hop mad over here.
