EB Kindly sent me a bottle of his ESB. Let`s have a look then!





Great Pint EB! Good Hiss on opening, great smell, great taste, malty but sweet too! Lovely clear Beer! Rhys said it tasted `Floral`!

EB also sent a bottle of `Golden Ale`. I love getting Free Beer!





EB, another Great Beer!
Pic 2 doesn`t do justice to this Beer.(condensation on glass) It is super clear, great taste, great smell, lovely soft mouthfeel! It is Bloody Lovely Mun!

Ooooh! Look what I found in the back of the Filing Cabinet!





Great drink! Bloody Lovely Mun!

Yes I do. I will do a taste test with pics this weekend. Unless I break my 'no drinking in the week' rule before then - which is a distinct possibility.

EB,
Game on for tonights` `Taste Test`!
I found a bottle of this in the back of my Filing Cabinet tucked away between a `Cock Ale` and a `Gruit Ale` !
May as well `Taste Test` all three tonight!

Last year Wales sent me his 'Competition Brew'. At about the same time, I started my brewing hiatus, owing to getting some work done in the flat. The hiatus lasted longer than I anticipated, and having promised him a review, the bottle stayed at the back of my fridge pending my return.

Well, I'm back, and it's time for the test. Here's the bottle, recently extracted from my fridge:



And poured into a glass:



Lovely and clear:



Gratuitous additional shot:



This is superb. Nice tightly packed head which expands a bit as the temperature rises, lovely malty flavour with a hoppy aftertaste (no surprise there. It is a WA brew after all!)

Devilishly moorish...but I'll have to make do with the one.

Lovely drop this, Wales. Hope it did well in the competition!

[WalesAles]

EB,
Thanks for the review.
It came 3rd in the competition.

[WalesAles]

EB,
This is what I found in my Filing Cabinet!


Ha! Sorry about `Dynamo`s` gaze, but he is enthralled by my Beer!







Just like you said EB, It`s Bloody Lovely Mun!
I should have kept a few more! No Bloody chance of that is there!

If I can make Beer this good with a tin opener and a Kettle and a few additions in 1 Hour, why I am I wasting 5hrs 45mins of my time
doing bloody BIAB as I did Yesterday?
Does my Bloody Head in Mun!

It's the time commitment that puts me off going all grain. A kit's just so easy, and as you say, yields good results.
