Munich Dunkel (24.5 IBU) Keiffer 33

IMG_5525.jpg

Cloudy dark brown, small head.

Med/full bodied, rich malty aroma, lovely malty flavour, great carbonation, slight alcohol warmth, lovely beer.
 
Session APA Keifer 33

IMG_5532.jpg

Dark straw coloured, medium bubbles on head, nice clarity.

Great carbonation, nice fruity aroma- getting passionfruit hints, medium body, hops dominant, refreshing APA, beautiful session beer.. would love the recipe!
 
White IPA Grainer

IMG_5538.jpg

Copper coloured, pours large head of large bubbles, nice and clear.

Great floral aroma, perfect bitterness- was there sulphate water adjustment? Carbonation accentuates dryness nicely, hint of malty sweetness.

Would love the recipe, really enjoyed this beer!

American IPA 6.4% Dj Lethal

IMG_5521.jpg

Amber, slight haze, small head of dense bubbles.

Fruity/floral hop aroma that is present but subdued (what hop is it?), good carbonation, medium body,
unique flavour profile, malt present but is hop forward... Different IPA but thoroughly enjoyable, not in your face hoppy or bitter.

I would lean towards it being more of an American Amber than IPA but would love the recipe, it's a good beer.
Thanks mate, glad you liked it! Interesting about the Amber Ale comment, have not had anyone mention it could be out of style yet. I guess that's why it's great to field from a larger pool of reviewers!! There is, erm, a few hops in that one haha.

Recipe? No probs!

Rogers Clone (English Mild 3.7% abv) Dj Lethal

Deep copper colour, small tight head.

Aroma of plasticine? Tastes of blackcurrant, slightly watery, thin body.
Sorry to hear that mate does not sound enjoyable at all. This one was filled from my growler filler, bottle purged with CO2 prior but thinking perhaps it did not travel well or like warming up from keg temps during transit?? It's quite enjoyable on tap and I find it pretty close to the mark when doing a side by side with Little Creatures Rogers.
 
Lambic (2 years old) Beersuit

IMG_5540.jpg

Golden colour, the most minimal of head, smells of red wine barrel, medium body, tart, plum-like flavour comes through.

I think the subtleties of this beer was probably lost on me, as a personal preference I do not really like sour beers so I'm probably the worst person to review them.
 
Trappist single (Gladfields single malt) Beersuit

IMG_5541.jpg

Slightly hazy, golden/straw colour, subdued phenolics with subtle clove-like aroma.

Spot on carbonation, damn good Belgian!
 
Case swap lager Masters Brewery

IMG_5638.jpg

Golden straw colour, medium sized bubbles, slight haze.

Slight floral aroma, also detect a faint honey like aroma also, good carbonation.

Refreshing and crisp lager.
 
Chemicade American IPA Mosto

(Apologies for picture quality, this was not as dark as it looks)

IMG_5639.jpg

Deep copper colour, large bubbles.

Nice floral aroma, perfect bitterness to my taste, full bodied, dry finish.

Superb IPA- Would love the recipe!
 
Dark American Wheat RobV

It was a crystal clear chocolate brown colour but I stuffed up on my second pour and a bit of yeast went in and clouded it up a bit..

robv.jpg

Large bubbles, piney hop aroma.

Great balance of malt and hops though it is hop forward.

Cracking recipe (that I would love!!) was this the same as the last dark American wheat you gave me?

Another great beer Rob!
 
Red Ale Grainer

redale.jpg

Deep copper colour, pours a nice dense head.

Woody/ hint of earthy aroma, malty-slight aniseed flavour, good carbonation
 
Imperial Coffee Stout MadPierre (?) The wife put in fridge while I was away for work

IMG_5654.jpg


Jet black colour- no light escaped this one, tan coloured small head that remains.

Can smell the coffee/ roast aroma.

Smooth coffee/ roasted blend of flavour... not acrid at all- just the right amount of bitterness to tie it all together.

Great Coffee Stout- would love the recipe!
 
Coffee Stout Masters Brewery

Jet black, tan head, dense bubbles.

Sweet malty aroma with a hint of coffee, maintains that small head the entire time.

Smooth Coffee stout where the flavours combined very well between malty and coffee.

Bitterness is very mellow but there is a slight bite to it.. well done it's a great beer and would love the recipe!

Cheers mate, great feedback. This was actually the first IPA (and only at this stage) I've brewed. I put the recipe together myself. I was pretty happy with how it came out so glad you liked it as well. Recipe is on the laptop I don't use much anymore. There's a few recipes on there I want to grab and put in my new database so I'll get and post it on here.
