Panhead XPA
Next comes Quickchange Xtra Pale Ale (4.6 per cent). Once again an automotive connection in the beer's name - quickchange being a type of transmission fitted to drag racing cars.
Made with a simple grist of pale ale and lager malt and hopped with American hops (Citra and Mosaic), this bright, golden-hued brew offers a pungent aroma of tropical stonefruit (mango and lychee), citrus (orange and lemon) and pine. In the mouth there's a deft balance of marmalade-like fruit and caramelised sweet malt which leads into a sharply bitter finish. It's a flavour-packed and immensely quaffable brew that treads the line between an English summer ale and an American pale ale (APA). I love it.

Thought I'd try something a bit bigger than usual, so went for a Pliny the Elder Clone (thanks to Karl from Allgrain.co.nz).
My efficiency has been a bit rubbish, so added an extra kilo of golden promise (as noted in the recipe below). It did the job for me as I hit 1.071 into the fermenter which is 1 point higher than Plinys actual OG... Albeit with only 20 litres into the fermenter NOT the 23 targeted...
Will keep working on the processes but this is smelling amazing :)

Looks good! Seems like a good time to boast that in a little over four weeks I'll be drinking Pliny fresh from the taps at Russian River... :P
I tried it last time Galbraith's got some in and it was good, but didn't knock my socks off. Hopefully the fresh stuff will live up to the hype.

Nice one! I've never tried it, so won't really have a base for comparison unfortunately.
Shame you aren't over there now for the Pliny the Younger release. Would be interesting to see whether it deserves the rabid cult following it has

Make sure you also try the row 2 hill 56. So good!

Will do. Unfortunately it will only be a lunchtime visit and we have another 3 hours driving that afternoon up the twisty coast road so I'll have to restrain myself a little, but I'll be travelling with my wife and my parents so at least I won't have to drive!

Oh nice. Well there's always bottles to go, they are about $5 each and you won't catch them selling any of their hoppy beers more than a few weeks after the bottling date.
