Nethergate Umbel Ale

[Earth Titan]

New I loved it from drinking it a few years ago and after a weekend of drinking it again, I am desperate to for some sort of clone. Anyone get a recipe? I'm looking for the 3.8% version not the Old Growler based one.

Question though.

In the pub it was bottled and chilled and looked like a yeast beer, but was this a chill haze or is it a yeast beer?

Not sure what you mean by a yeast beer. It shouldn't be cloudy so if it is then I'd guess it is a chill haze.

This is from the Nethergate website:

"Freshly toasted coriander seeds are added to the grist and at the later stages of the boil, resulting in a festival of flavour and aroma."

Is that coriander in the mash as well as the boil Seymour?

[seymour]

Yep, pretty unusual, huh? It kinda makes sense, though, malted grains are the seeds of a grass plant. When we mash with nuts, those are the seeds of trees, etc...

I have a fairly direct contact to the brewer, I'll see if I can tease something out for you, but no guarantees unfortunately

[PaddyX21]

Contact is in Dubai at the mo, but I haven't forgotten

NB: The only other info I have found (in two sources) matches Seymour's exactly

You always figure I'm just makin' this shit up, huh?

Sometimes I am--it's true--but for the record, I always preface those with "Seymour", and use the word "clone" so you can tell. If it's believed to be the actual recipe, I simply name the beer.

I didn't mean to imply that!
Only to lend weight to your post

[seymour]

I know, just teasin' you. You're wise not to blindly trust a "bloody septic"* about English brewing.

Yesterday, I was insulted in Cockney Rhyming Slang for the first time, a very special moment for me.
