Classic Brewing Co Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Wow this is seriously good, I need to start exploring recipes to make something like this, I agree with all of the comments below. I did a bulk buy recently with various Weihenstephan Beers with bonus steins & glasses at a promo in a Liquor store. Country: Germany Brewery: Weihenstephan Style: Hefe Dunkel Format: 500ml Bottle ABV: 5.3% ''Dunkelweizens' or dark wheat lagers, combine fruity and spicy characteristics of a Hefeweizen with the rich, malty characters of Bavarian dark beers. A superb example of the genre, Wehenstephan Dunkel is soft, malty and full-bodied. This beers great strength is its balance. Pairs excellently with hearty meals. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red devil 44 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 My S&W AG Version on the left. Commercial version on the right. Not much difference here, my version a touch darker, taste wise, pretty damn close. Overall pretty stoked with my AG version.

iBooz2 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 A Toohey's Old Clone (AKA Darth Vader Beer), been in the keg just shy of 4 months.

Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Flanders Red Ale. This is the 4th batch bottled a couple of months ago and I have yet to nail the style. Either too much sour or too much brett or not enough sour or not enough brett. Anyway this one is very drinkable but I have set the bar very high. Sour is decent but lacking a little. Brett similar. It's there but not enough. This one is about 8 months old 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzza Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 The last time I had a commercial Theakston's Old Peculiar festive Dark Ale it was at The Lion Inn, Blakey Ridge, Kirkbymoorside in North Yorkshire... the weather is providing a similar scenario at present so I guess it is time to enjoy the lovely all grain TOP2_Theaksty Old Pec Clone Number 2 A bit incongruous in the Deutsche Bundesdruckerei glass... but hey waddyado when all yer straight pint glasses are broken 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popo the Reprobate Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 First use of Verdant. First attempt at a hazy. Fast carbed overnight. Carbonation not quite right just yet but the beer's a winner. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Weihenstephaner Festbier Hers's one I haven't tried before from the Weihenstephaner range, very nice. This is a slightly stronger, fest-friendly lager that pours a clear pale-gold with a small, but beautifully clean white head. Those trademark German-lager aromas of grassy, herbal hops and grainy, bready malts are there, but, as the beer warms slightly, it’s the fruity zing of extra hops that becomes apparent on the nose – and is immediately noticeable on the palate. Indeed, the Festbier’s hops deliver a lingering, and quite delicious, honey, citrus fruit and spice aftertaste; making the brew highly drinkable but much more flavoursome than a simple quaffer.

RDT2 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Sitiva IPA really nice summer beer. Today feels like summer so it’s going down really nice. If you like lime this hop is for you. Cleared up really nicely after a month and a half in the keg. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen that one, but I will be on the lookout for it. The oldest brewery in the world makes some very fine beers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
