Just poured a "Brewboys Maiden Ale".

First thing I noticed was how brilliantly bright it was. Nice creamy head. Light copper coloured. Big American hop aroma with a bit of biscuit. Tasting very similar, not too thick a body and I think theres a bit of choc in there! Bitterness was a lot lower than I expected from the aroma which works OK for me. Finish is unfortunately a little well, bland (comparatively), but it's forcing me to keep sipping!

My camera is shit but at least the photo shows the clarity!

 

[Tony]

Dude........... its pink ?

Get a new camera!

cheers

Could've helped if I turned all the lights on.... but the switch is over there.

Still waiting for the Lambics i had posted to settle out. Bloody bugs arnt very floculant.

I have them sitting below ground in an old safe pit thats been dug into the concrete floor of my garage. The coolest place in the house.

Cant wait to try it and want to try it bright as it says on the label

cheers

Just noticed this comment Tony...
How are you storing your bottles? Upright or on their side?

Most seem to have a fair bit of sediment, and i've had an Boon Oude Gueuze on its side for a few months now, which looks very clean but I can imagine has a fair bit of sediment resting towards the cork.

 

[Tony]

Upright mate. They are 90% clear now....... the top 30% of the bottle is bright.

I have never seen a beer need 6 months to settle out after postage.

No rush. USed by of 2027........ it will keep

Might crack them around xmas

cheers

Tomorrow night - a Duvel.

I agree that the red is probably their best all round beer... I personally didnt really like the trippel, but thats just me..

Oooo yeah. That stuff is great off cask...really fragrant hops!
Had one from bottle down here a few weeks back...very disappointed.
Seems to be the case with pretty much all British ales...cask is the way to go!

I needed the dregs of this for a lambic so I was forced to drink me some Orval.
Decided to pull the glass out of the collection for it.

you poor baby how could you possibly drink an Orval :icon_drool2: Nice glass, i've just shattered one myself but luclkily i found one at an op shop for $2 after i paid $32 US God i love Op shops but don't tell anyone.

I couldnt resist any longer. I put it in the fridge at lunch time to get it to around 12 deg.

I had no idea what to expect and poured it with an open mind.

Not happy though........ i think its infected

Initial aromas of sour citrus like old lemons. Something deeper too..... dont know the words to describe it. Its earthy and funky!

Fairly light bodied......... very well attenuated. Slightly thin slick feel in the mouth. Cheek puckering sour lemons again to the point of leaving my mouth feeling a bit chalky. Makes my teeth feel funny like i forget to brush them.

Funky aroma gets stronger as it warms up to room tamp...... maybe its the horseblanket aroma people speak of.

A very "interesting" beer and a worthwile experience. Dont know if i will do it again though.

cheers
