Well......all the Crossbreed is gone!
We (my brother in law and I) drank the whole corny in 2 days and absolutely loved it.
This was a really, really nice summery brew. It had the crisp bite of a lager (served at 10C), but also the fruity back end of an ale. I also like the touch of the Nottingham yeast - it kind of got out of the way and left a cris[ clean beer.
I gave a pint of this to my BiL when he arrived on Wednesday night after a drive from Manchester. Told him it was from a local micro and the response was "that's one of the nicest beers I have ever tasted". When I told him it was homebrew, his jaw almost hit the floor.
I'm going to brew this one again - maybe this weekend. I might try it with US05 yeast and see how different it comes out. I might also try replacing the Northdown hops with Amarillo and see what happens. The MO/lager malt cross is definitely good for light coloured summer ales though.....
