Sag Fam Hop Palace

Pretty good. Some berry hop, but fairly subtle, nice bit of wafer, a little malt. Clean, quite dry. Yeast over performed but the extra dryness counters the extra strength, very easy drinking. Good base for hoppier beers.

Sipping on this in near 30 degrees heat, it's good!

Good, although nearly got dumped a couple of times. End result is crisp, dry and very easy drinking. Perfect for hot, hot days. The yeast is very present, was heavily phenolic but has calmed with a long lagering. Citrus, lemon. Clove forward.

Good. Some tutti fruity galaxy, a little peach, pepper, floral, fairly dry, lean, easy drinking. Lutra Very clean, just a hint of kveikiness. Very drinkable. Old hops, so maybe lost a little there but a very tasty summer sipper.

Yep. Berry citrus, loads of juicy Citra and mosaic, dry, clean. Very good. Nostalgia vibes are bang on, proper California pale. Really good.

Very tasty

Excellent, if I do say so myself. A little diesel up front, crackery, gooseberry fruit in behind, good bitterness. Lovely pale, will look to round out the hops and dial in. Unfortunately at its best when there is about 2 pints left.

This beer was a one glass wonder when it was first made but now after nearly six months is a thing of absolute beauty. Smokey chocolate, richly decedent, dry enough to be super drinkable, sweet enough to be super decadent.

Conditioning nicely. Going down a treat on a warm sunny day. Completely changed over a week. Clean and crisp, a hint of old school Punk. First time with Simpsons extra pale but works very well here.

Solid. An absolute ton of Nelson. Malt is out the way, yeast is out the way, Nelson is very much in the way. Some bright gooseberry, loads of that Nelsony earthy vibe. A little bitter in the finish maybe but I'll let it slide.

Improved significantly with conditioning, which is probably the key take away. Loads of Jacob's cream cracker, rounded out with toffee and caramel. Bitterness is bang on. Smooth. Lingering. Very good.

Genuinely good. Brown sugar, rasins, chocolate, coffee, Coco, outrageously smooth. Rounded out beautifully.

Pretty decent, needs a little more conditioning maybe. Golden copper, white head, needs a little longer to clear up. Has the cream cracker of V1, a little caramel, a little chocolate. A bit of the Tunnocks to it, which I, frankly, am all for.

Delicious. Pours with a thick fluffy tan head. Vine fruit, rasin, plum, roasty, chocolate, creamy, roasty lingering finish.

Pretty solid. Orange and sweet fruit, sherberty, tutti fruitti, candy. Rounded out, less pithy more juicy, creamy. A little dankness, almost Mosaicy, from the Amarillo, which rounds it out very nicely.
