I cracked open a bottle that i've had in my fridge for a few weeks now, it was sent to me by J_P, I've heard him talk fondly of this brew before so I had high hopes.
I wasn't dissapointed at all. It opened with a good strong hiss and straight away I picked up a nice citrus aroma, it poured very well with a nice tightly beaded head, care had to be taken pouring as the yeast sediment seemed a little unstable.
As you can see from the picture the beer was star bright, served at 12c. Carbonation was lively and gave the beer a lovely 'light' feel this did not detract from a great mouth feel though. Jolly Roger has a nice clean taste a good citrus aroma and flavour and a great full on bitter aftertaste. It's a very well balanced beer, and that aftertaste sealed the deal for me. I'd happily pay for this beer, it's equally as good as some commercial beers and better than quite a few too! J_P you've cracked it (but you know that already ).
I'd appreciate it if J_P could post the recipe, the only thing I have brewed similar tasting to this had magnum, perle and cascade and was fermented with US-05 i'd like to know how JR has been put together.
Cheer J_P - that one was a cracker :clap: :)
