HB NEIPA "Dank Juice"....appropriately named, Columbus, Citra and Amarillo Cryo. Tastes like drinking MaryJane, in a very View attachment 874126good way. This is the Columbus from @Dgallo 's suggestion a month or two ago. I've learned that if Dom suggests something, it has to be good ;-). Now I have to teach my friends that hops and MJ are from the same distant plant class...
I’ve tried to brew a non-hazy, dank beer like that a couple times without a lot of luck. Would you be willing to share your hop schedule and info on the Columbus you mentioned?
 
I brewed a batch of my Belgian single right before Christmas. After filling my keg, there was still a good bit in the FV, so I quickly cleaned and sanitized a few bottles, added a dose of table sugar and filled a couple. I let them sit for a couple weeks at room temp and then put them in the fridge. I drank one pretty quickly and forgot about the other until tonight.
It’s delicious. I think better than what was in the long gone keg. 🍻

Lookee here, lookee here! I “scored me” a Samuel Smith gift box variety pack down at the bottle shop! A perfect beer to compliment the rainy weather here in SoCal! Just like in the UK!

Before you ask, yes I washed the glass before pouring! Looking a lot like the beer on the box, Samuel Smith provides the perfect beer glass for English Ales and in this case, “English Lagers!” I’m very impressed with Samuel Smith. Although the bulk of their production is Ales, their Organic Lager is a fantastic Lager brew, and not at all estery or fruity like some of the Ales that they produce.

One great thing about this Lager (or the glass shape) is it makes continuous head as I’m drinking it. Not only that, it is Lagered in their underground caves! This is the way to make a delicious 5% ABV English Lager, it checks off all the boxes. This beer produces foam right on down to the last gulp. Lovely head and lacing, give it a try!

Produced at the Old Tadcaster Brewery and pulling water from the 1758 “hole in the ground” they drilled, just think of all the great brews coming out of this location for all those years. Cheers!
