14 IBU
18 SRM
Maris Otter, Caramunich 1, Brown Malt, Dark Caramalt, Black Malt. A sprinkling of Pacific Gem and Rakau hops. Wyeast's West Yorkshire Ale yeast.
Bloody beautiful. Best consumed by the pint. I'm really proud of this one. I'm sure it won't excite some people like PKB did but it is really close to the ultimate session ale.
Two kegs at Auckland's NZ Beer Festival, at the Croucher stand. Enjoy a few of theirs and some of ours (and say hello to Paul and Nigel for me).

Thanks Denimglen. I'm really really happy with it (actually think it is our best yet) but still very nervous because it isn't a big monster like PKB or everyone's hoppy simplicity like GB. It's most nerve racking having other brewers (and non-brewing beer geeks) drink your homebrew, even more so having them drink your beer when they're paying for it!
Hope you met Sam too - not a homebrewer but has a keen palate and loves his beer as much as all of us. He's learnt a lot about brewing in the last few months too.
