Posting this here as well,

Thanks for the great day fellas big thanks to Dent for the hospitality, have to apologise for the beer I provided it certainly wasn't my best, didn't attenuate to what I was hoping for and was made by all extract. That was my first case swap so I know for next time what is properly required.

On a plus I did make my first attempt at all grain brewing yesterday and hit my mark spot on, so for the next swap you can expect something better,

thanks again fellas!

Sorry Gents I was the cock head that didn't make it... Don't hold it against me for too long...

 

[jyo]

Rad- All Amarillo Ale.

Pours beautifully, perfect carbonation, good clarity, head is long lasting.

Hop character is on the low end in both aroma and flavour. Maltiness is vienna-like and supports the bitterness well.
This is definitely a quaffer, goes down a treat.

Cheers!

 

[Milk-lizard84]

Rad-All Amarilla Ale
This is also the first beer I cracked. Really enjoyed this one. An easy drinker with a nice amount of hop aroma and taste.
Carb was great and had a nice mouthfeel. Love the Amarillo hop so this was a treat. Cheers.
Kinda wish I had taken a photo like jyo to show it in all its glory.

 

[Major Arcana]

Rad- All Amarillo Ale




Very easy to drink with a nice consistent head, not overpowering on the Amarillo, I could have had 5 of these! Very tasty!

 

[jyo]

Mitch's Witbier

No pic, I was too thirsty! I really enjoyed this beer. The yeast flavours are right on the mark and the coriander is really forward, which I like. Good mouth feel, could drink a few more of these easily.

Cheers.

ps- Definitely better than the one I brought along on the day, mate.

 

[jyo]

Cheers fellas. It's a bit underattenuated and I regretted not bottle conditioning it. It nearly didn't make the cut. Glad you guys are enjoying it. I should have mentioned on my shitty labels that it's 6.4%

 

[Milk-lizard84]

Jyo's Belgium Blonde
Poured with a nice head and good carbonation. (I followed instructions and chilled it straight away)
Enjoyed the belgium yeast character. Seems to have a slight spiceyness which I enjoy. All up a very enjoyable beer that I needed a nap after drinking haha.

 

[dent]

Mitch Wit

This drinks very nicely. The Wit flavours are an interesting combination - this one is quite different to the jyo edition - the Mitchell version is more bitter, less genuine "Wit" character on the nose, but on the other hand it has a nice complexity in the finish. I think it is a great beer, very drinkable. With a little more Wit additions in the aromatics and maybe a little less bittering it would be a real winner I reckon.

 

[Neanderthal]

JYOs Belgium Blonde

Pours a loverly Goldern colour with nice clarity, thickcreamy head that disapaits fast with little lacing . Agree with Milk lizard, Belgium aroma and taste and love the spicy finish to it.

Loved it, Shared the first bottle with a mate over a batch of slow cooked spare ribs and went down soo well. I even had to drink the second bottle I scored tonight, top drop.

 

[jyo]

Just noticed

jyo - "Good clarity"
dent - "Pretty hazy!"

same beer.... :lol:

*******!! Haha

 

[dent]

Well that Wit went down pretty fast.

RAD Amarillo Ale

Pours nicely, good dense head. Pretty hazy! I'm not getting a lot of hop aromatics in this. It is actually pretty neutral flavour wise, well balanced but not very interesting. I think there is also a hint of diacetyl that lets an otherwise good beer down. Was this cranked out fast for the swap?

 

[Mitchlj73]

ps- Definitely better than the one I brought along on the day, mate.

Have to disagree with you mate! I prefered yours, I'm glad you liked mine, but yours was a well rounded Wit, next time I will ease up on the coriander and use the proper Wit yeast instead of the Forbiden Fruit to see if that makes a big difference.

jyo - "Good clarity"
dent - "Pretty hazy!"
