Whats In The Glass

Warra's Hefeweizen c/o the Mid North Coast Perpetual Beer Swap

Brewed with a fair whack of Munich from memory. Typical golden appearance with a persistent white head. Lots of carb as per style. Aroma is strong on the cloves with some underlying bready malt. Flavour is strong malt, almost perceived as sweet but finishes bone dry with acidic tang. Subtle banana/toffee thing going on. Overall a very refreshing quencher that hits the style guidelines perfectly. Nice one!

Last pour from a keg of XH Ale.

Pretty much spot on for my tastes, be sad once its all gone.

First time I've brewed a beer worth posting in this thread...dark ruby mild. Only been brewing since November and is this by far my best brew to date (also first time using liquid yeast...coincidence?).

Perfect for a cool night in Melbourne.

No worries. I'm an exract brewer, but should be easy enough to convert to all grain if that's your thing...

This has had four weeks in the bottle, and I can't see it lasting another four now that I've cracked one!

Golden Bitter thru an Aldi Randel (thanx Florian) loaded with fuggles.

Good but I need to mash it higher next batch.

American Red. Apollo and Cascade, 1272. Very happy with this one. It's much clearer than the pic suggests.

Six Minute Scrumpy with a blackcurrant blush. This stuff is just too seductive on a balmy afternoon.

Warra's Porter c/o the MNC beer swap. Perfect brew for the cooler nights.

Appearance - Dark brown/black with ruby highlights if you hold it right up the light. Off-white/tan head, lingers right down the glass

Aroma - Subtle yeast note, vanilla, chocolate

Flavour - Finishes dry and clean with a slight chocolate taste. No hop flavour, slight tang.

Mouthfeel - Soft carbonation, medium body that fills the mouth without being cloying

Overall - Another well balanced beer. Very approachable, no thinness or astringency. Recipe deserves to be on the newly relaunched DB!

You two are totally having a brewmance!!

Yep, what can I say its love......although I think its the isolation effect. If we weren't both lost in the brewing wilderness of the NSW MNC I am sure Warra would be off fawning over the beers of other AG brewers, not a dirty partial-masher like me

Seriously though, finding a local to swap beers with is a warp speed way to improve your brewing. In works two ways:

1. It makes you closely critique your beers before sharing, as you really don't want to share a dud, and want to admit any faults before they find them

2. It gets you tasting beers you wouldn't normally taste/brew etc and introduces you to flavours you wouldn't normally find in your own beers.
