Enjoy!

I’m going to apologize right now, I bottled off a couple for myself to try and I can tell you something happened from keg to bottle that I don’t like. I’ve bottled off this beer for beer ledge soccer but it’s only been in the bottle for a day or so for that. It seems there is an off flavour in these bottles that I can’t pin point but I know it gives a astringent “tang” to it.

No tang on mine. Other than the smoked malt taking away from the hop character , Its a great beer. Perfect carb , great head, nice malt character. I enjoyed it as soon as I got home from work.

Well I’m glade to hear that! Hopefully the rest of the lot is just as good.

This is a good brew. No off flavours that I can tell. I liked the smoked malt.

Daughter and I had this one. I found a Belgian (ish) flavor to it.

Hahaha glad I looked at the recipe earlier than later or else I’d have been giving probably unneeded advice on yeast health. The smoked malt obviously gives a phenolic thing that could come off as Belgian or stressed yeast but in my opinion it works. That said, I would like to try a more aggressively hopped version of this. I can understand wanting the smoke to shine through, but I’m an IPA I want more hop character. Regardless, an interesting beer for sure!
