Warra's American Pale Ale, another from the everlasting the Mid North Coast beer swap ;)

8550213983_17240348dc.jpg


Nice golden copper colour, slightly hazy with persistent white head. Bright citrus hop notes when first poured drifting towards a herbal note when warm. Warra said that he used a bittering hop (I think it was Magnum?) at 30mins which may have contributed to this. Malt is clean with some honey notes again as it warms. Ends clean and balanced.

Overall a great example of the style. Thanks Warra!
 
Scottish Ale 70/- Nice beer indeed, and you can have a couple, not so the case with the 80/- I normally brew.

In my new glass that cost me $1.66 .

Very nice Batz, does it taste better in the correct glass? :p

Looks like like your slice of heaven just got a little greener. Looking beautiful from the deck.

I was in a bit of a hurry and thought I would do two parrtials at once.

Typically rushing about I got a bit careless.

I mixed the fermenters up and ended up putting the Coopers IPA can into the Munton Nut Brown Ale fermenter


Anyway,only time will tell if it is drinkable.


1 can Coopers IPA
1 can coopers amber malt

Steeped for 30 mins in oven at 60c.
125g chocolate malt
125g caramunich 11
15g Cascade hops

Added to fermentor
200g Corn syrup powder
250g wheat malt.

Yeah, I was going to replace the pic of my kids and use it as a screensaver, but the birdshit spoiled it.

So.

Bit dry up your neck of the woods eh?
 
Found a relic. Collaboration brew day 1 barley wine. Hmmmm old :drool: . Hops have faded (was US barleywine) its now all about thick malt, plums raisins brown sugar. A bit of oxidation on the finish but its been in a PET for 3 yrs. Marvellious... kind of like drinking Westvleteren without bwlgian characteristics. Nom nom nom
 
West-Coast style AIPA sitting pretty in my newly minted custom etched glassware. Thought I would make an effort with the photo for once rather than a flash photo against the kitchen splashback. Still limited by point and click camera, might have to borrow the work DSLR to get a crispy one.

Waqgastew's Little Fella's Pale Ale.
It's in the style of Little Creatures Pale Ale.

What a fabulous beer this is. Hugely enjoyed it, and was sorry when I drained the last of the glass.

Very finely beaded head, not big, but it lasts all the way down the glass, and it sticks to the glass right to the end.
Lovely and very clean malt character, but it's the hops which really shine in this beer.
It's beautifully balanced, with a fantastic citrussy and fruity hop nose and flavour.
I could still taste the beer several minutes after the last draught. The flavour just lingered.

I'd rate this as waggastew's best beer I've tasted to date. And, of course, it was consumed in one of waggastew's own special glasses.

No worries.

The first cube (the beer in the pic) was fermented at 14' with Swiss lager dry yeast. Not bad at all, low esters and pretty clean. The second cube was pitched cold at 7' (cheers Dent) with a huge slurry of Swiss and then lagered for two weeks @ 1'. It has been sitting in a keg for two weeks. I am not going to touch it for another two weeks if I can. Disclaimer- I am not a lager expert!
