Whats In The Glass

[AndrewQLD]

My first attempt at a Mead, this is an Orange, Clove and Cinnamon Mead using Macadamia honey, just bottled after 6 weeks fermentation. Tastes awesome!

Looks awesome Tony.
That is the glass I've been hunting for my Wheatwine.
Made enquires at a couple of websites that had them listed, but never heard back from them
Where did you get yours from ?

Doc

Got it from Ebay overseas.

Search on "beer glass" and check through the international sales. Some awsome glasses go on there. I have seen a few recently. you just have to check once a week for the odd one to pop up. I i see one i will PM you

Recently recieved these in the mail. Cant wait to try them. A bit disapointed in the Trippel being a month out of date. Will be sending an email asking why i was charged full price for it!

Still cant get over the Best before September 2027 on the lambic

Im going to try them soon and if i like them i will invest in a few to put away and try over the years.

cheers

First cab off the rank......... the Theakston Old Peculier.

WOW!

Im very glad i bought this. I have always wanted to try it and im not disapointed.
Poured dark, colour of tooheys old.
Rich creamy head that disipated to a fine bead due to low carbination. No "make it fizzy for the exports". This is how it should be and i like it
This beers highlight for me is the aroma...... smells of rich deep dark toffee and caramel with a hint of light roast and english hops.
medium mouth feel, not heavy or cloying. firm but smooth and clean bitterness ballances the deep dark crystal/toffee/caramel malt in the mouth.
Some fruity yeast character but fairly clean.
leaves a lingering bitterness and slightly burnt toffee after feel on the sides of your tongue.

A pleasure to drink and a great learning experience!

cheers

Awesome selection there Tony!
Gotta love the 'best before' dates on bottled lambics. Picked up this guy when I was in Brussels around Chrissie last year...

Didn't get around to trying any of the Cantillon beer while I was over there though... I really should have!

 

[devo]

yeah but what did it taste like?

cheers

Tasted great actually! Although I'd prefer LC.

I went a little upper-class on pay day yesterday and got some better beer:

 

[rough60]

American Amber Ale, nice to taste malt again after too many wheats and apa's/ipa's. (As if you can have too many.)

Grumpy old weizenphobe :lol:

 

[reviled]

currently drinking a nice Rauchbier

40% smoked malt, the rest munich, some german crystals and carafa spec 2

Hopped with SAAZ, fermented with US-05 as it was all i had that wasnt a lambic blend at the time.

one pic indoors showing its dark colour and one outdoors with a bit of sun behing showing the deep amber hue

Mashed with 52 deg protein rest for 20 min and then 65 for 60 min. No mash out, cool 72 deg sparge. Very smooth malty beer that holds a head you cant kill. Even after it sits for 20 min it still holds the head to the bottom of the glass. Very happy with it!

cheers

Man.... Yum, is all that I can say... Looking damn good mate!

The lasts of a pils Im not too happy with, the rest of the keg will makes it way onto the garden in way for a Galaxy Blonde.

Shame that. What's wrong with it, Jye? Looks good though, which is the main thing.

I wanted something drier and with a crisper mouth feel... plus some more hops in the finish For my liking it is just too malty with not enough bitterness to balance it out. Apart from recipe formulation it is a well made beer if I do say so my self

 

[Stuster]

plus some more hops in the finish

Perhaps just chew on a mouthful of hops while drinking it.
