Go on give us a clue you've not got!
Starting tonight with a guest beer from @Benfleet Brewery. This one is a 5.5% Cascade Pale Ale.
Very well carbonated with a head forming immediately and dying away quickly as I poured. Once poured the head settled to a light covering over the beautifully clear golden ale, a steady stream of bubbles keeping it fed. Marvellous!
The aroma is caramel malt and a touch of grapefruit.
The flavour is lovely - malt with a touch of honey, a slightly floral citrus vibe, and a lovely smooth bitterness to finish. This is a really nice ale and I’m enjoying it very much.

Only a couple to go now.

Well done! Arch + E-type.
Just finished, nice one today. Just right for my level of ability. The beer totally helped!!
Used to do Telegraph years ago but never invested the time in the Times. Recently had a crack at the jumbo one over Easter and did ok. Think I will take it up in earnest - not a bad pastime to pursue whilst you have a brew.
I normally do the DT, an online puzzle subscription is £30 or so a year and Big Dave’s Blog is brilliant. My wife buys the Times but it’s usually beyond me. With all these things I’ve been doing more recently and am starting to get the vibe of their setters. The easy ones are ok, but it has a tendency to get a bit head wrecking towards the end of the week.
Ah, thank you. This is the one I made loosely based on a recipe for Sierra Nevada clone in Brewfather. It was the first time I’d used Cara red (obviously it was on special offer somewhere), and I was really pleased with the caramel flavour from it. Hope you enjoyed it

I did, very much, thank you! I got the caramel more in the aroma. The flavour for me had a touch of honey to it.
Next up, a 3C pale.
That “citrusy vibe” I spoke about is still developing and becoming more like lime zest. I like it.

My Belgian pale for a pre Champions League football in the box and quench the first before pouring a can that I have been looking forward to drinking

Curious what the three C’s are I’m assuming Citra and Cascade possibly plus another?

centenial, comet maybe?
Thanks Anna.
I'm wondering if I picked up a bit of oxidation in the bottle looking at it compared to the keg
Obligatory taster of first beer to be kegged. Almost a week in the keg, it's the 'Out in the Fields' Saison!
Some clearing still to be done.
Proving that the lacing is better from a keg than from bottle:

Maybe just take an empty keg and gas, fill up at a local brewery. What I do when I go to Cornwall
