Whats In The Glass Pics

[devo]

It's been a while since I've posted anything I've made on this thread so here's an APA Golden Ale that I was working my way through last night.

Any feedback on the Cry Havoc Duff?

Hey Jye,

Got back today, someone had to catch some fish in FNQ. Not as much fun as you've seemed to have had.

I'll get a couple bottles sorted for you. The Cry Havoc does accentuate the hops nicely, but from warm tastings it is very similar to US05 initially.

Cheers.

My AAA last night, straight out of Primary, and gassed in the Pressure Sprayer Party Keg.

Cheers

Looks good Nick, did you go with a case swap recipe for the AAA?

Jye,
its people like you wot cause unrest

 

[NickB]

Looks good Nick, did you go with a case swap recipe for the AAA?

Almost. Let's say it was "Heavily Inspired" by Browndog's effort.

Top drop!

Cheers

hopburst apa

cracked open the first bottle after only what... 11 days in the bottle.

my god... the flavour, the aroma... i dont think i'll be able to make an apa non-hopburst again

 

[NickB]

OK, here's the recipe for the AAA above. ABV is more in the APA range, but I'm happy enough with it so far. Also decided to chuck a handful of Cascade in as a dry hop, as it was somewhat lacking in the aroma department.

EDIT: Apologies for turning this into a "What are you Brewing" thread. I'll beat myself senseless with a bottle of APA for my sins h34r:

Hey Jye,

Got back today, someone had to catch some fish in FNQ. Not as much fun as you've seemed to have had.

Cheers Duff, Ill get some of the Brissy boys together for a tasting.

Yeah Munich was tough work but someone had to do it

 

[Punter]

Felt a bit adventuress last night.
2/3rds APA 1/3rd Shwartzbier.
Suprisingly the flavours went together pretty well.

 

[wabster]

Just put some of my 5th brew into my favourite glass and thought, that's worthy of a photo, given that it is as good tasting as it looks and the head is maintained so well even now 10 minutes into drinking it.



It has a rather complicated pedigree but a great outcome.

Edit : Removed K&K recipe

Home today after 10 days bush, scratching in the dirt for Sapphires. What a great line up of beers have been posted during that time, great pics.

JYE! - you dirty rotten lucky *******. No experiences to match yours where I've been. Still, drinks around the campfire were a little different this year, sent a few guys off to bed mumbling stuff like "he reckons that it's home brew" and "what did he say he makes it from". Made a few converts, me thinks.

Odd one tonight: Shipstone's Crew Fine Amber Ale (NZ) via aldi h34r:

Wife popped into the aldi store opening in St. Kilda. Came home with a $9.99 six of:


If I had to force it into BJCP, I suppose it would fall under 7. Amber Hybrid Beer

My notes:
-appearance copper to brown
-mild malt aroma with very light sulphur in finishing- nearly undetectable. no hop aroma
-great clarity, obviously filtered. not bottle conditioned.
-sweet malt taste dominates with very light bittering. if i had to throw IBU's on it, I would estimate 15-17 tops. no aromatic hop detectable. candi sugar tones.
-crisp white head that fades quickly.
-finshes clean with nearly no lingering bitterness and almost medicinal candi afterbite down the central to rear of tongue.

overall impression: 3/10. clean. no fermentation or conditioning faults. drinkable but lifeless, over-sweet. poor balancing.



From the bottle:
"A traditional fine amber ale, brewed with specially selected malted barley and the delicate flavours of green bullet and super alpha hops, chosen for their clean bitterness and edgy aromas. The result is an ale that is slightly spicy, with gently nutty notes, giving Shipstone's crew a distinctive and notably refreshing finish.

You don't have to circumnavigate the globe to fine the finest amber ale. Brewed with patience and skill this hidden treasure is awaiting your discovery."


I think I'll circumnavigate my ass to the next room, for one of my own beers, thank you very kindly.

edit: added the word taste to notes for clarification.

Home today after 10 days bush, scratching in the dirt for Sapphires.

the question remains screwy........

did you find anything?

or did you just get on the piss and sleep like i would have


cheers

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Knowing that Screwtop knows about 2v Cells, Open Wire Line, and Exchanges....my bet is that he "got on the piss"..like all good Telco Techs do..


Unfortunatly I know I am right on this one.... :chug:

 

[Jye]

Here was tonights line up the left 4 were straight from Germany and we also had imported versions of Paulaner and Schneider... and from comparing the used by dates let me say fresh is best :chug:

 

[glennheinzel]

Jye - Nice selection. where did you pick those up from? (esp. the Hacker)

 

[bconnery]

Jye - Nice selection. where did you pick those up from? (esp. the Hacker)

As he says, and as I was there and that is my sink you are looking at, the first 4 came across on the plane from germany.

Fresh is most definitely best. With the exception of the Hacker and the Franziskaner all the home brewed examples we tasted where better than the german ones. The difference in use by dates between Jye's and the ones from 1st Choice etc was often 6 months and it was really noticeable.

If you want Hefe in Aus, make it yourself or buy from a local brewery, and I mean really local.

Even the Emersons Hefe didn't stack up, in fact it was the worst of the night...

 

[Jye]

Jye - Nice selection. where did you pick those up from? (esp. the Hacker)

They got a free trip in my bag from Munich. If you do ever find a Hacker buy it, it was the pick of the bunch but also very fresh. Like bconnery said if you want a good hefe brew it your self, the imports have nothing on the fresh versions.
