I Nev - Dark Lager -- Golliwog READY NOW

II Krausenhaus - American Amber - VERY READY NOW
sinkas: body and clarity and carbonation great,
very dry for style with a phenolic/fecal/burnt rubber finish
NME: Slightly hazy amber colour with a thin white head that vanishes pretty quick. Nice big hop aroma. Definitely has a big Citra flavour, nice malt sweetness and a decent carbonation level despite the head. Unfortunately I do get the old cardboard flavour, but I seem to be pretty sensitive to it. I think despite your bottling dramas, this is a really nice beer.
Drew9242: Good clarity, head disappeared quickly but could because of bottling. Good aroma and hop flavours. Just thought it was lacking something to take it to the next level. Good beer I would be happy with.
Fish - I enjoyed this beer. The low carbonation worries didn't come to fruit with a nice head some lacing. Nice malt and hop flavors and aromas. Some slight diacetyl but it worked well with the beer for me.

III- jyo- Special Best Bitter with Trademark Haze. Ready to Drink.
BBB - Couldn't see the haze through the haze. Bloody nice beer though. Would make this.


IV cdbrown - Northern German Altbier - been in the keg for 3 months, bottled the night before so get it cold - Ready Now.
malt_shovel 10/12 - Brilliant clarity, head retention and malt profile. Enjoyed this a lot when brewing last night. Thanks for a quality brew.
Drew9242: Clear, mine lacked carbonation and head. But I really enjoyed this beer, would like to try to brew it me self.

V - Zig - Czech Pils - There is also Strong Pils and Lutsenbier in these, as labeled. Drink all of them ASAP really. Keep cold.
malt_shovel 10/12 (Strong Pils) - Could read a newspaper through this. Nice carbonation and head that laced all the way. Very well balance for high ABV. Would happily drink this all day/night. Cheers
mikey (czech pils) - Clean and refreshing, went down well for a hot day. High carb, headmaster glass kept about 2cm of head the whole time! Very tasty
VI - keifer33 - English Bitter (might be overcarbed so let it sit for a bit in the glass/jug) -

VII - Drew's Brew's - Vienna Lager -
BBB assessment
Head - very good
Clarity - cloudy
Mouthfeel - lucky I have to type coz I can't speak - tongue stuck to roof of mouth wink.gif Mouthfeel is heavy but nice
Hops - nice spicey aftertaste - do I detect a hint of chocolate??
Overall - Nice beer.

VIII- Fish13 - munich lager. -

IX - Ledgenko - Either a crack at an Trappist Ale or a extra strong IPA
sinkas: i think this is the beer (unlabeled), not sure what it was meant to be , but unfortunatley not drinkable

X - WW (Crotchrot Brewing Company); Belgian DSA, bottle conditioned, READY NOW

XI willigan - US/kiwi pale ale.

XII - Bada Bing Brewery - Kolsch or Hefe or Pils, ALL READY NOW
mikey: (kolsch) pale straw, clean, refreshing. Bit flat but very enjoyable

XIII Spoonta - English Pale Ale

XIV -Ciro- ( Half bottle of Helles)?
sinkas: not too sure about this one, amazing clarity though

XV - malt_shovel - Mulberry Wheat (ready to drink)
NME: I love the colour of this beer! A really nice deep red colour. Definite mulberries on the nose and all over the flavour. I see what you mean about a lack of tart, but I think it works really really well. Very very refreshing beer and just what I needed tonight
BBB - Great colour. Loved it. The ladies here put down their champers and fought for the dregs. I really liked this beer.

XVII - Doogiechap - Oirish Red Best to leave till Feb

XXII -Dave - Belgian Strong. -

XXIII - Aces High - Cascadian dark ale - Ready now
sinkas: nice black IPA body but strong nose and finish of diacetyl

I Nev - Dark Lager -- Golliwog READY NOW

II Krausenhaus - American Amber - VERY READY NOW
sinkas: body and clarity and carbonation great,
very dry for style with a phenolic/fecal/burnt rubber finish
NME: Slightly hazy amber colour with a thin white head that vanishes pretty quick. Nice big hop aroma. Definitely has a big Citra flavour, nice malt sweetness and a decent carbonation level despite the head. Unfortunately I do get the old cardboard flavour, but I seem to be pretty sensitive to it. I think despite your bottling dramas, this is a really nice beer.
Drew9242: Good clarity, head disappeared quickly but could because of bottling. Good aroma and hop flavours. Just thought it was lacking something to take it to the next level. Good beer I would be happy with.
Fish - I enjoyed this beer. The low carbonation worries didn't come to fruit with a nice head some lacing. Nice malt and hop flavors and aromas. Some slight diacetyl but it worked well with the beer for me.
Doogiechap: Loved the big floral aroma hit at the start. Poured clear with a small quickly diminishing head. Malt profile was a little dry for an American Amber but the oxidisation wasn't too excessive for me and was a nice beer to finish my weekend off with Thanks guys !!
Nev---- I sucked a Gary Busey and gotta say it was better than most of the films he made, poured well but head dropped quickly to leave a cover of thin foam on top. Tasty with just a hint of O2. I was expecting some thing for the sink so pleasantly surprised.

III- jyo- Special Best Bitter with Trademark Haze. Ready to Drink.
BBB - Couldn't see the haze through the haze. Bloody nice beer though. Would make this.


IV cdbrown - Northern German Altbier - been in the keg for 3 months, bottled the night before so get it cold - Ready Now.
malt_shovel 10/12 - Brilliant clarity, head retention and malt profile. Enjoyed this a lot when brewing last night. Thanks for a quality brew.
Drew9242: Clear, mine lacked carbonation and head. But I really enjoyed this beer, would like to try to brew it me self.

I Nev - Dark Lager -- Golliwog READY NOW

II Krausenhaus - American Amber - VERY READY NOW
sinkas: body and clarity and carbonation great,
very dry for style with a phenolic/fecal/burnt rubber finish
NME: Slightly hazy amber colour with a thin white head that vanishes pretty quick. Nice big hop aroma. Definitely has a big Citra flavour, nice malt sweetness and a decent carbonation level despite the head. Unfortunately I do get the old cardboard flavour, but I seem to be pretty sensitive to it. I think despite your bottling dramas, this is a really nice beer.
Drew9242: Good clarity, head disappeared quickly but could because of bottling. Good aroma and hop flavours. Just thought it was lacking something to take it to the next level. Good beer I would be happy with.
Fish - I enjoyed this beer. The low carbonation worries didn't come to fruit with a nice head some lacing. Nice malt and hop flavors and aromas. Some slight diacetyl but it worked well with the beer for me.
Doogiechap: Loved the big floral aroma hit at the start. Poured clear with a small quickly diminishing head. Malt profile was a little dry for an American Amber but the oxidisation wasn't too excessive for me and was a nice beer to finish my weekend off with Thanks guys !!
Nev---- I sucked a Gary Busey and gotta say it was better than most of the films he made, poured well but head dropped quickly to leave a cover of thin foam on top. Tasty with just a hint of O2. I was expecting some thing for the sink so pleasantly surprised.

III- jyo- Special Best Bitter with Trademark Haze. Ready to Drink.

VI - keifer33 - English Bitter (might be overcarbed so let it sit for a bit in the glass/jug) -

Jyo, 10.12.2012
Aroma- Low malt, slight citrus.
Appearance- looks the goods for an American amber, great colour.
Carbonation- perfect, great head retention.
I think this could have been a great beer except for the burnt rubber taste. The malt, which should be on show here as well as hops are not quite coming through enough. Enjoyed it though.
Cheers.

Copy and paste, guys!!! C'mon, it's not hard...

 

[bum]

I read all these threads for all the swaps looking for good beers to brew.

This is BY FAR the worst tasting thread that has ever existed.

 

[jyo]

This is BY FAR the worst tasting thread that has ever existed.

In the history of the world?

Is it the format or the perceptions of the beers? Or because mine is super hazy?

 

[drew9242]

Looks better than your tasting thread bum.
