Kent Gold check.
Yep, very pleased.
I'm hoping there is still some left by the time it's perfect.

I had to Google what the difference was between an East Coast IPA and a NEIPA when I poured this, as I assumed both were the same and therefore expected a hazy pour with a punch in the face of citrusy aromas. This one from Williams Brothers, as it's an East Coast IPA, didn't pour hazy and didn't have that punch! However, it's a great beer - citrus and maybe some piney aroma, and the flavour is bitter, but not in your face bitter. I really like this style and will look out for other examples.

My hazy Saison
The it's Claret to go with the lamb.
It's Organic (check out all those green logos) so a phenomenal deposit and crud coating of the bottle.

Found a small Belgian bar and had more than enough big Christmas beers and some non Christmas ones. Europe is so much better than backward Ireland/Northern Ireland

I want to make this, every time I see one pop up I want to make it. The ideal time for my climes to make it anytime soon.
Hi, great looking beer, looks like it was worth the effort.I’ve put a lot of work into this brew
What malt/adjuncts do you put the beautiful colour down to? Nothing too outlandish I hope.

Nothing too dramatic, brewday write up here. Alastair70s brewdaysThe 2022 LAB entry this iteration evolved from is here. Irish Red - LAB entry brew
The creaminess that mixed gas gives means the roast malts need pushed and the caramel malts pulled back a bit.
I’m starting on the best bitter tonight.
That's nice and clear.
It is, it pretty much comes out of the fermenter clear.

Real Bread and real Bitter.
I stayed on the Best Bitter all night last night so I’m starting with my English Pale tonight.
Brew York - Viking DNA Smoked porter.. Mrs brought this back from her trip to York for me.
Well 3 days later and the Kent Gold ale is now clear.
Only problem for the photo was that it's so damned cold in the garage where it's stored that the glass immediately condensed up when I came back into the kitchen. Honest.
When checked from above, I could read the beer mat clearly through the beer and stem.
No photo of that as I needed to taste it.
Nice.
Interesting one this. I had a Wilko (Rip) Cervesa kit that someone gave me for Christmas ages ago. It was going out of date so I thought I'd have a play with it. So I added 1kg of beer enhancer, 500g light spray malt, 500g of dark spray malt, a tin of T&L BlackTreacle and I think 500g if Barbados cane sugar. Popped it in the FV with a couple of sashes of CML Belgian yeast from their Beer range. This was nearly a year back, possibly longer.
Fermented like a demented thing. Packaged it in a cornie, naturally primed and left it for a while. Initially, it was very kit twangy and super Belgian spicy. Then, it got a bit bubble gummy, then a few months later way, way, WAY too bubblegummy, the black treacle was too dominant and was refusing to clear so I forgot about it.
I was tidying up my cornies tonight and one was full, and I remembered what it was.
It's not bad! Slightly bubblegummy and slightly spicey. Black treacle has mellowed considerably. Nice carbonation. Still cloudy, which is odd - it's garage temp, so about 4°c.
Very drinkable. Warms the cockles.
