Summer Brew and Swap - British Golden Ale

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’ll send you one too then for the comp

Go for it, I know you’re critical of your beers so it’s very likely a great beer that just failed to meet your expectations.

[Jim Brewster]

I've got one golden and one 750ml Citra that's actually more golden than pale, I could split it into two 330ml bottles if that's ok?

 

[dave_77]

[samale]

I am good for 2

[Fazzer]

Forgot to say, I have three bottles.

 

[dave_77]

I do actually have 3 that I managed to bottle before the tapcooler broke, but not sure if it’s good enough to send.

How did you manage to break the tapcooler?

 

[Mash Monster]

I’m in 3 to swap

 

[Brewnaldo]

I did say I was going to get involved, unfortunately my golden ale grain and hops are still safely tucked away in the box they were delivered in

Maybe next time.

the button that you press to purge the bottles fell off

Ooooooo...no good.does it just leak gas now? Doesn't screw back on or are you able to replace it under warranty?

Nope I can’t replace. Unfortunately it’s 14 months old. Humph. It was sticking in and bubbling the beer in the bottle and then just fell off. I don’t know if there was sticky underneath it or something from old beer, but it got cleaned after every use so I can’t understand it.

Last call for participants. I’ll randomise and post swaps tomorrow.

 

[Alastair70]

Having a trial of my own. Clarity once again could be better, the keg has got another week to settle and I’ve got the bottle conditioned ones to check out.

It’s a super summer sipper, I’m liking the orange and lemon notes from First Gold. Bitterness is just right, and the malt character is light. Overall, I’m pretty happy.

Just to say, though I'm sure I'm not the only one I've sent one of my Golden ales to @Hazelwood Brewery for the August comp.
