What are you drinking ?
Ok, so What Are You Brewing was a hotty, as topics go.
Now I'm 15 pints into a keg I only filled on Tuesday and wondering if anyone else has a favourite at the moment ?
It's my second brown with US-Oh05 and it's better than the forst, maybe Ikept the temps down a bit during the scorcher we had in januray

It took me through the K-hole jt.
Seriously malty but not over the top. Worked well in that recipe.

I also tried the mild JT but forgot to comment on it, it was very malty, BIG malt aroma on the nose for me and I got quite a nutty chewy malt flavour which I really enjoyed! My only gripe was that it wasnt served to me through the handpump ;o) lol

Minimus is good. Light, hoppy and very bitter. Hints of marmalade and some stone fruit (maybe apricots and nectarine?)
Wasn't so keen on the Statesman, the flavour didn't really do anything for me.

After work tonight I got amongst some more Rogue Yellow Snow IPA - on tap of course. It's tasting good and fresh with a great aroma. A bitter grapefruity hop bomb!
Following this I had an 8Wired Hopwired IPA in the bottle - Still tasing amazing, and still easily my favourite NZ beer of 2009 (if not favourite beer of 2009 overall, still thinking about my list).
Popped up to Malthouse after this to check out the new offerings, saw the (silly) $75 bottle of Crown Lager. Who pays that much for a lager? And found out that Brew Dog TNP will probably be around $130 a bottle, which I'm happy to pitch in for at the WBC!
I tried the Hallertau Minimus which had a great fruity hop aroma reminiscent of Maximus. The flavour reminded me of my Ruination clone brew: hop fruitiness coming through but bitterness is the main show. A bit rough around the edges. Which I like!
Following I thought I'd better have another go at Hallertau Statesman, seeing as I was indifferent to it last time I tasted it. Again, meh. An okay hoppy pale ale, but nothing stands out in the flavour.
