BYOTY Amber Pale Ale

noreply@blogger.com (howrad) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 20:27:00 +0000

The "amber ale" i brewed for BYOTY ending up coming out more pale than amber but it was still good. Pretty light in alcohol but with decent body and mouthfeal. Also good hoppiness a little on bitter side with a nice citrus / grapefruit aroma from the keg hopping which seemed to produce a lot of debris when poured. I need to work on my technique for that.

Upenn Tasting

noreply@blogger.com (howrad) — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 03:46:00 +0000

This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of attending a tutored tasting led by esteemed beer writer Michael Jackson and Sam Caligione founder of DogFishHead. I was there along with a few fellow homebrewers in support of HomeSweetHome. The beer store, as we have come to call it is owned and operated by Geogre Hummel and his wife Nancy who have been into craft beer just about as long as any one else around. During the tasting of George's Fault, which is a 10.5% ale brewed with honey, and orange peel, at Nodding Head Brewpub in Philly but of George's Design, sam affectionately referred to George as "The Johnny Apple Seed of Brewing"; having sold first batch supplies to and consulted with many many brewers.
-Thanks again George
