Aussie Premium Lager :chug:

Love your avator Punter.... :beer:

Even I can't handle PoR that early in the morning!

Mornings call for a more traditional breakfast ale.

An orange coloured, opaque, full-bodied sweet ale with special fruit blends and almost no carbonation. Sweetness is balanced by completely no hop bitterness/flavour whatsoever, and an aroma to match the fruity taste.

I give you, the TropicAle!

Adamt,

I'm confused. Is that a breakfast Fruit Juice?

Or did you grab a yeast starter by mistake!

Its my Morgans Royal Oak Amber Ale with 1k of Morgans Caramalt
Thank God I listened to Phrak... This has only carbed up now and its been in the bottle about 3 months (it was headed for the gurgler!) And now it tastes bloody fantastic!
Tim... I think I owe you one or two!

Cheers,
Andrew

Allbutt Ale (Rye Pale Ale). Deliciously dry, with an earthy note from the rye, and a lovely combination of Styrian Goldings and Centennial hops.

Just pondering the minor but detectable differences between the kegged & bottled beers. Kegged is crisper, more sessionable. Bottled beer seems creamier & smoother, slightly better hops aroma, and an intriguing hint of caramel which is absent in the kegged version.



cheers,
Colin

Side by side comparison of my Golden Ale clone on the left (cloudy because it's not filtered) and JS Golden Ale (see this post: http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...t&p=159851)

Colour is almost dead on, flavour is virtually the same (except mine has a bit more body because it was all-malt). Surprisingly though, JS GA probably has a bit more Amarillo aroma, next time i'll increase the Amarillo 20-30%.

Hard to beat a nice Amarillo JSGA clone isn't it?

Sort of like an APA with training wheels. Enough to keep the home brewers interested, but approachable for non-brewers.

Adrian & I brewed version 2 of my Squires Golden clone on the weekend, except we ended up having to make a last minute hops substitution because I left the hops at home. Ended up bittering it with NZ Pacific Gem, and substituting some Centennial for part of the Amarillo because Adrian only had 50g of Amarillo at his place. The wort was sensational. Should be a lovely beer, although somewhat removed from JSGA due to the change to the hopping.

I still prefer APA's, but if i was going to have a big session on the beers then this beer would be perfect, popped out a smidgin under 5% which is better when you have to drive or stay awake!

I'm quite impressed with how close i came, GA is a great tap beer, maybe i should start kegging

That's the great thing about these forums - finding out all the "inside" information about recipes and sharing & improving it with the community.

You sure got that right. This forum, plus the brew club (BABB) I'm a member of, supplies me with all the info I need. For me AHB has replaced rec.crafts.brewing, HBD, etc. because its friendlier and wonderfully Australian in character.

I oscillate between lighter session beers like the JSGA clone, Allbutt Ale, etc., and some fairly full on APAs & stuff. Unfortunately, I don't think the current Amarillos we're getting are as good for a full-blown APA as the 2004 crop were. We made an Amarillo/Chinook APA with 2004 Amarillos which was mind blowingly complex & rich in the hops department. 2005 Amarillo seems thinner and somewhat pineapple like to me - works better in the thinner & lighter Golden Ale style.

Putting some '06 amarillo into an APA at the moment - will see what it's like :super:
