Had that before and is very tasty though I think it was Aldi buncrana that I got it but may be wrong...

It is an Aldi beer €2 and 6.5% and really nice beer. They do an east coast ipa as well that’s good. Great Valu beers from roadworks.

An American ipa I brewed a month or more ago and out of sheer laziness I dumped it on top of the yeast and turb from an esb , won’t be doing that again as it tastes like an American English ipb. Like a meat eating vegetarian it’s very very confused

I was hoping this was a new hop, but it tastes like lightly hopped nectarine juice... Not a big fan of fruit beers here, except in a belgian.
edit: eh it's growing on me I am just pretending it's a belgian. Pretty interesting story too. Discover Wanderland Nectarine Ale | Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.

Last one as work in the morning (again 
) jet black heart on nitro said the last time I had this I wasn’t impressed as it tastes flat under the nitro head and tastes more coffee than vanilla but didn’t realise I had bought 2 of them. Unimpressed.

Ha yeah it absolutely is accurate. It came in a sampler pack. I needed some bottles and the labels come off easy on these.It does say nectarine on the bottle if that helps....

Visited 2 breweries today to pick up a mate's wedding present for Saturday (lucky my brew fridge was empty)
Couldn't resist picking up a few for myself while there. First up is a Citra pale from Kent Brewery.
Nice and bitter quaffing ale

Brew's on. I've been in a right funk for the last few days knowing that I had nothing in the FV for over a week. Time to remedy that with a Five Points Best Bitter attempt. Already made a cock up with weighing out pilsner malt instead of pale, but managed to replace some of it before I'd milled it all.
I'm in my happy place now.
Beer is a Bramling Cross bitter.

Today was a beach day at Wells-next-the-sea. The tide was out and goes out a long way so you probably can’t even see the sea. Even here on the beach I had far better connectivity than at the holiday home!
On the way back we visited a local brewery where I bought a new glass and a selection of beers. The brewery grow and malt their own grain (Maris Otter), I have bought some if we had room in the car but that will have to wait for another day. Most of their grain is exported to California - wish I’d asked which breweries.
A bit further along the same road, this?!
Time to tuck in to one of those beers. This one has bready malt, pine, and citrus flavours. The aroma also has just a hint of malt whisky to it.

Summer Breeze V2, kegged on Tuesday and burst carbed for 48hrs. It’s bloody lovely, an absolute hop bomb with a bright dry finish. I can see why @Hazelwood Brewery can’t seem to keep his hands off it. Pity it chucking it down outside, this is definitely one for seeing in the long evenings on the patio.
I’m pleased you like it. 2-6 weeks is the sweet-spot for this beer so it will improve. It’s still good before and after but the sweet-spot is where it’s most juicy and clean.
It's insane that they export malt to the US. I bet we have whole load of UK companies importing the same product from across the pond.
Yes I don’t understand how it can be better to transport stuff across the world that can be produced at home or even worse, as you say, selling the same stuff to each other. This is maybe one of the aspects of economics that should factor in environmental policies. Oops sorry, no more politics
2 weeks won‘t be a problem, but I can’t see it lasting 6. I’m loving how the bready Vienna flavours play with the hops. I’m getting an almost lemony finish overall, it’s a really good beer. :hat:
I know, I brew a couple of 19l batches each month through the warmer months
