One thing that surpised me is how carbonated it was. Of course I tasted it, and it wasn't bad, still tasted like I recalled. I plan to do a jerk style rub, so if some of the fruitiness came through, could be OK. Today I decided to brine a chicken to roast tomorrow and ended up brining in this dubbel. I had a few glass late last winter and early spring, but moved it from my serving keezer to the cellar to make space for more drinkable summer beers. You knew there is something weird there but you might not call banana if you didn't know, and you definitely wouldn't call the honey. On Christmas Eve of 2016, I brewed a Dubbel with bananas and buckwheat honey and I was not impressed when I sipped it last winter. Once I can drink away my commercial stash, I'll buy another one of these and stack all my beer nicely and neatly in my closet You can find it here, and they make a number of sizes. Bottle "exploded" in it and (1) nothing leaked, (2) no glass made it out, and (3) only the smallest sliver of plastic was broken off the lid. That box, by the way, I would highly recommend. Chalking it up to my inconsistent carbonation early on, whilst keeping my fingers crossed.Īt any rate, the rest of the beer in that box took a nice shower today. None of the other bottles from the batch showed any signs of a problem. I do wonder why it exploded 6 months later, wondering if a slow-growing infection took hold, but the box I had everything in just smelled like regular old beer. I had convinced myself this one was one of the low carbonation bottles, but alas, it appears not to have been. I was holding onto this one to try it on it's birthday, to see what would happen (besides taste different, of course).
It was from Batch #4 brewed back in June, a blonde ale that I knew had carbonation issues. The dreaded foe that I've successfully avoided for almost a year finally came knocking - behold the Bottle-Bomb: I didn't think the malt bill was a mystery for this one:Ĭontrary to the title, today I'll start by sharing what homebrew I'm NOT drinking. My photo doesn't really show it but mine is a bright straw yellow whereas Tank 7 has a bit more of golden hue to it. Tank 7 - Had more malt backbone and also a nice peppery and floral aroma. Was looking forward to that Amarillo.Īmarillo - 1.0oz WP for about 50min ave temp about 130F Disappointed in the lack of hop aroma and taste. It has that typical funky Belgian yeast smell and taste. My clone - Seems to be dominated by the WLP530. Of course, with that thought in my head, the taste of the two threw me off. Mine was a lot brighter but I thought mine would have been duller. For the second round, we used regular beer glasses and the color through me off. Mine lacked that wonderful hop aroma that Tank 7 gives off. First round was done in coffee mugs and I knew right off the bat which was which. Had a strange blind tasting with mine and a Tank 7 (conducted by my friend's wife for me and him). My issue is that it really doesn't remind me of Tank 7. Tank 7 clone - little disappointed in this one.
