Norris! Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I am enjoying a few ginger beer, it is lovely, but before I tried a pale ale: 1.5 kg maris otter 500g Munich 250g dry wheat malt extract 160g dextrose 160g carapils 1 Thomas coopers hefe wheat 10 min steep of 15g of Centennial, Amarillo and Citra 25g of each dry hopped on day 4 for 3 days then removed 25g of each dry hopped on day 7 until kegged and bottled on day 12. Yeast was Juice by Imperial. It is a good beer but I cut the flameout addition back from my usual amount, playing around trying to see how economical I could be. It doesn't have the bitterness nor the full flavour and aroma I like and usually get. Good beer just not near the XPA style I was hoping for. Clean and crisp and my wife and friends like it a lot, but it is not want I wanted. I kind of knew that could be the case but I was experimenting a little. I also was really unsure about the double dry hop and felt that I should of just done one, but I wanted to see what the yeast would/could do. All up I give it 3/5 due to it's sheer drinkability.

RDT2 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Just tried my AG Cascade Pale Ale with orange and coriander it’s been in the bottle for 5 days and tastes bloody nice. I’ve had a couple of bottles inside where it is a bit warmer so its carbonated and had a head all the way with lacing. I can taste a little bit of orange I think but had a nice aroma but it’s so smooth 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben 10 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 RIS. 12 months old. No alcohol flavour, not a lot of bitterness. Massive anise flavour. Big smash in the head after drinking. Odd, prefer a little fresher actually. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) So tasting notes from my soon to be house pale ale. Aroma: Grapefruit, citrus. Mouthfeel: Dry but there is some more mouthfeel from the unmalted wheat and Caramalt. (Total of just under 8%) Taste: Grapefruit, floral, citrus, mango, tiniest hint of coffee bitterness. Bitterness is spot on could possibly do with a little more, Completely moorish. For a Version 1 im really happy with it. Changes will be taking the caramalt out, add a little more acid malt. No changes to the hop bill just yet. Id like to see how the first changes go then Ill be possibly chuck a little more bitterness charge in.
