Next another from Hopsteep...a stout that to which the recipe has gone missing!
As you can see it pours with just a little head! Only joking! It's fantastic...thick and luxurious and remains like a big blob of off white ice cream!
It's a "sense" bomb! Coffee and choc aroma,a firm bitterness and quite a dry finish which I like. Tastes of coffee and bitter dark chocolate...it's quite highly carbonated (for a stout) I think,but this isn't detracting from my enjoyment.
I know it's "recipe lost" but I'd like to know it...with a "C" dry hop this would make a nice American style stout...more great flavour coming through as it warms..the head is still thick and creamy half way in...and has turned a nice tan colour! The dryness still comes through...I like this!
Hopsteep says it had "speciality" malts and as said,lost the recipe..so a bit of a conundrum...but I'm leaning towards more than an Irish stout,if that sounds right! As I said I recon some cascade or centennial late on maybe would be in American stout territory..
All in it's a complex,tasty,big,in your face beer! Find that recipe and tinker...
I've an inch left in the glass and there's still a thick,rocky head!
Cheers!

Just seen this thanks Clint no idea on the recipe, sadly it didn’t save on my beersmith. I know to get the colour it was all Weyermann dark malts like special W etc

First tonight is a guest ale from Hopsteep,his Tribute clone. It's been in the fridge for a couple of days and has a bit if chill haze,opens with a "pssst" and pours with a small head that lingers and laces the glass.
As a Tribute clone is a bit of a project of mine I'd say it's not Tribute-esque...for me the trait hop in Tribute is Willamette,which I find distinctive and it's lacking at this time. My first few attempts were the same which I solved with a hopstand at 80c rather than a dry hop.
However,this is a very nice,flavoursome EPA which became quite aromatic and juicy as it warmed up a bit... definitely better a bit warmer. Bitterness is spot on. To summarize...I like it a lot,it's a fine tasting,easy drinking pale which I could easily spend a nice sunny afternoon on..
Thanks for sending!

And found the other review! I agree, needs a load more late hopping

Caravan beers.
A riwaka pale to start and most likely the same to follow

Familiar bottle shape...sure I got a few of those.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

My first one today was a neipa we picked up from Aldi. Not bad I suppose. But the head disappeared in ten seconds. My home brewed one will be better I’m sure!

Since I don’t have a teku glass (yet) I’ve made do with a gin balloon

The husband had a bit of pineapple rum (present from the son as it’s nearly Father’s Day)

First time trying this. It's advertised as a west coast IPA. It's definitely not that but it's nice and refreshing. Big citrus hit, it's made using lemon and lime juice plus orange peel

Where are you planning to take it. Buncrana

Ok Sputnik American pale ale from Tesco. Not as nice as the vocation hop skip and jump I had before as it’s a bit dryer but still nice

 

[samale]

Never again. I hate floaters in my beer. This is loaded with it

I am always surprised at breweries selling beer as a neipa and it looks nothing like a nepia should I’ve had a few that looked like an American pale and been called nepia
The rum looks good
