Beerlust Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 7 hours ago, Otto Von Blotto said: I haven't brewed that recipe but I have never had an American pale ale that is as dark as what the amber malt tin does to a brew. They've always been a golden colour of different hues, not copper. Maybe there are some out there like that but neither LC or fat yak are that dark. No offence mate, but you typically brew one interpretation of the style based off the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale out of Californi-Yay! Typically warm weather all year round much like the home state of sunny Ol' QLD that you reside in. The northern parts of America get bloody cold. On the East coast places like New York, Maine, Massachusetts, & on the West coast, Places like Oregon, & Washington, then the mountain country in the central North like Colorado, Utah, Wyoming. You'll find their Pale Ales generally carry a lot more colour there for obvious reasons. The lighter fruit bombs usually only come out in the warmer months as they are not very satisfying when it's below zero outside. Cheers, Lusty.

PaddyBrew2 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 The one year I didn’t like. The commercial version was lovely. The homebrew version was miles off. I recall King Rud in his tasting video more or less commented the same. I know they change over time but I cracked one recent and it still was nowhere near what you’d expect. It was the first year they deviated from the toucan. And noted that this years release is different again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first year they deviated from the toucan. And noted that this years release is different again. I thought about the same of my homebrew version for months, almost gave up on it. I have had a dozen long necks sitting at the top of the cupboard for the past few months. The post above is the second one I have now had in the past week. It was bottled on 6 October last year. I am now impressed with it. I will have to do a side-by-side taste test against the commercial version (I kept a dozen stubbies too) to see how it compares. I think it is much closer now. Might have to wait for the weekend though, because at 7.5% there is only so may I can consume on a school night. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really compare since I used different base malt and don't have any to side-by-side, but I'd say at least as good and probably better. It's really very nice.

elLachlano Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Been a bit quiet on the forum - doesn't mean I've been quiet on the brewing. Here's my 2nd BoPils from Melb Winter Shed temps. Sooo much better than the 1st attempt. Not sure if it was just the extra Saaz dry hop or I kept the temp on this one more consistent. There wan't much more variation on the 2 but this is a clear winner! Either way, I'm glad there's still ~24 longnecks still to get through. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porschemad911 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Finished off my MOTB brew. It never really came good unfortunately, too malty with not enough bitterness. And for some strange reason zero head retention. Never had a batch like that before! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
