Well I did a sneaky brew a while ago and I never posted it but after having a pint today I can tell you its good! I needed to use up leftovers so I came up with 2 recipes (tee-tote-ale was the other).
When I kegged it it was propper bitter (taste wise that is) but now its pretty schweet dude!

heh heh .. so that means you're not able to drink it all before it's ready?
:o)
Nice one nath, very sneaky. Why did you keep it quiet? I remember you saying you were going to do a double brew.

That's heavy duty hops for quite low ABV, is it not quite bitter?

No, its got a kick and a slight lingering bitterness but not at all an unpleasant one. I will pop some over to you to try greg.

Ok ok, I may be a little wrong here. Its got a really really grassy first smell but then its fine to drink, a little necky but has a ok long aftertaste to it. Its fine to drink but good to drink early. I have also found that it better served room temp, anything under that is more harsh.
Looking at the recipe, its not too far away from the tr-hop-ical beer I done. I think its Mouteka's hops which give a harsh but smelly goodness. I dunno, maybe as a light flavour hop with a sweet fruity (but not citrusy) aroma hop would do it good.

Did you do any water treatment on that one?
If not then I would suggest that it what's making it a little harsh.

Nah treatments were all all added at the right time an stuff like that. Don't get me wrong its still fine to drink but its changed a lot within a couple of weeks.
Then again what do we all say (alltogether now) -
CONDITIONING, PATIENCE and PATIENCE!

I reckon its the mouteka flavour hops the more I think about this. I had the same with my tro-hop-ical recipe. It tastes shrap to say the least, a lingering sharpness, one that makes my ulcer go "OWWWWWWWWW!"
Damn ulcers.
