Blue Tongue And Bees Nees

[MHB]

Went to The Brewery tonight, tried the Bluetongue Black, by far and away the best beer to come from this brewery. Also tasted the pilsner again, I still have to ask if its a lager with any hop other than Saaz dominating why is it called a Pilsner. The Bluetongue Lager isnt my favourite beer, but its good to see a small local brewery trying new things.

Good marketing maybe and they already call there headline beer a lagerso to avoid confusion, maybe.

The Dunkel Weizen, Bock and Grand Crue we had over dinner were more to my taste.

Well bugger me, it certainly looks like it uses Amarillo! Can't argue with the evidence presented! I will have to buy another 6 pack at some stage and try it again. My Amarillo-detecting taste buds may still be a bit stunned after the heavily hopped Amarillo ales I have been making recently!

I agree with Gerard though, definitely some heavy buttery flavours there that I noticed. Still quite enjoyed it though. Something like Squires Pils would be a better example if you are going for a more "traditional" style.

Maybe I'll try and grab a 6pack of each this weekend...

CheapDrunk - you could also try the ESB Czech Pilsener in the 3kg tin. Simple tin of goo, nothing else needed just water. If you havent got the ideal setup for doing a lager at lager temps just use some US-56 Dry ale yeast. She's a beauty too. Probably up your alley. I've also got a batch of this one on the go. Spend a while crusing around the hbkitreviews web site I posted earlier and get some ideas on whats out there, its very useful.

Drew.....sorry i couldnt help but snigger.....oh you gotta laaaarf, its all good fun.
Cheers
