Appearance: Not cleared, maybe needs some more time in the bottle, on the dark/red side of pale. Lovely head that sticks around.
Aroma Pineapple first, then a tutti frutti like smell. Nice.
Flavour: Good earthy tones from the Golden Promise and maybe the Nottingham yeast. Maybe it's because it hasn't cleared or maybe the quick ferment but I'm tasting a sharp note, very slight - could be yeast or a touch of fusel alcohols? But it doesn't detract too much for me.
Overall: I just finished chopping down a fallen tree with a handsaw and this refreshed the hell out of me. A good session beer. Cheers.
Hey Rob - thanks for the beer.
Appearance - head that lingered for a while, quite hazy - maybe needed to settle out more.
Aroma - a bit of a hop spicy and pine coming through - not overpowering
Taste/Mouthfeel - Good bitterness of the IPA style - a slight ting on the edges of the tongue - can't pick what its from. Nice malty taste comes through.
A nice drop Rob - maybe some more time in the bottle to allow clarity.
Cheers!
not sure what the deal is for clarity,
Last time I brewed a similar grain bill the clairty was fine.
cheers for the feedback so far guys. I'm still awaiting my package Package lost in the mail.
Once I get them it'll be all guns blazing.
As noted was a little murky, but nothing compared to the soup that I managed to deliver.
I did find the bottle (a 500ml tallie with a long narrow neck) a bit difficult to pour from without it 'glugging', but probably more carelessness on my behalf.
Think I had a hint of something solventy in the aroma, but there has been some boat building going on in the house, so is maybe completely unrelated to the beer !!
Overall a nice solid beer, not overpowering on the late hops, but a very pleasant bitterness, and nice malt balance, it didn't last long ! Thank you
My girlfriend calls it the death ale, cos she can taste and smell the alcohol...
Ap- Poured murky amber even after a week or so in the fridge.
Ar- Ripe pineapple and toffee with a little bit of sharp solvent going on.
Fl- nice balance of bitterness and malt body. There's a bit of fusel flavour in there too, I'm wondering how there ferment went? What temperatures did you target? The taste suggests a hot ferment, but that would be unusual at this time of year in Christchurch I think!
Nice work overall, recipe seems good and well balanced, just a couple of flaws there with the clarity and the fermentation. Do you fine and use temp control?
Cheers.
It's a fair bit warmer than I brew with Notty myself. I normally pitch at 16 and let it rise through 19. Recommended range from the manufacturer is 14-21, I tend to stick to the lower end for hop focused beers.
cheers mate, much appreciated.
Plan to keep the fermentation under control a bit better, and possibly switch out the yeasts.
