My apologies to the Xmas Lotto PM senders - my baby boy was born at 3:24 this morning. I'll get around to replying ASAP.

Congrats mate, at least you have plenty of beer to wet the babys head. :beer:

Ok........ Let this be the first review.

First up is tricache's "Not so much a mystery IPA"

20121214_171513.jpg


First of all, this is an extract beer. A little bit cloudy, well carbed and a strong taste of treacle/golden syrup straight up. However Its clean and surprisingly quite drinkable (This is meant to be a compliment :) ) displaying that methods of temp control and adequate sanitation are used.

As i said, quite drinkable. Not 100% my cup of tea, but happily finished the bottle without whinging, groaning or screwing up my face :D (like some of my beers)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Second up is tricache's "Combined Forces Pale Ale"

(I wont post pic as both photos look the same)

Again extract, but definetly my favourite of the 2 I was given. Again Cloudy and well carbed. This was alot cleaner and had a less complicated taste.

This proves very well that a decent beer can be made from a kit/extract if your methods/procedures are well in place.

Good Beers tricache.

Thankyou.

Sponge's APA: an excellent beer. Not very pale, mind. I'd call it an Amber Ale, being a deep gold, almost copper colour - reminiscent of Fat Tyre Amber. Big hops up front with a nicely balanced malt back bone. Can definitely taste crystal in there. Nicely carbed, no sediment. Pretty clear but not bright - CCd but not filtered, I reckon.

Good gear, all told. Any chance of the recipe?
