Far too dark for to stick with my original name of Kiwi Pale Ale. I dub thee... Kiwi Red Ale. The Motueka and the Nelson Sauvin pair together very well. I'm not getting as much of the white wine notes as I was hoping for from the Nelson Sauvin, but they're definitely there. I think the next time I make this there will be some Nelson Sauvin thrown in with the late additions and Motueka thrown in with the dry hops. This one had all Motueka late hops and all Nelson Sauvin dry hops.

P.S. Yeah, I'm drinking a beer at 9 AM, big whoop, wanna fight about it?

Looks great. I've been thinking about making a pale ale highlighting Nelson Sauvin hops.
Oh, and 9:00 too early to drink a beer? The way I see it, there's no better time than the present to enjoy a beer.

Coffee. Helps with the hangover.

You won't regret it.

Sweet! I should be sourcing some Heady soon for a similar experiment. Harvest the Conan yeast and then come up with a solid clone. Figure it'll be easier to brew than to score Heady in my neck of the woods!

Killed my second cup of coffee While cleanin the micro brew FV once more & wiped it dry. Got out my grain bags & yeast from the fridge to warm a bit. Makin a PM pale ale with super alpha bittering,motueka & pacifica flavor/aroma hops. Copped a pound of 5 different NZ hops when midwest had'em on sale. Descriptions sounded tasty.

Yep, that's the one. If I know your penchant for hops at all, you're going to dig it. Also, I forgot to mention to you personally that I really enjoyed your Moon Hill pumpkin ale. Quality brew.

Good, I'm looking forward to trying it! Glad ya liked Moon Hill. I can't take all the credit, Onipar (member here) created the original recipe last year, we both brewed it and traded. Then came up with a few tweaks for this years'. I was pretty happy with how this years' turned out, it's a lot like New Holland's Ichabod, simply by chance. I'd never had Ichabod until a few weeks ago.

Nice. I might be asking you for the recipe so I can brew it next year. I've got my brew scheduled filled up until the end of January so pumpkin will be way out of season by then. I've never had New Holland anything. Is that a local in your area?

I put away a 6'er of Schlafly's APA while bottling a batch of Irish Red last night, good stuff. It's as hoppy as some IPA's I've had.
