Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out!

Same. It's tiring really...

Excellent beer. Cheers!

UPDATE: And here is the final product. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I never before managed to achieve such a beautiful and stable foam on my brews. It's nice and dry with some pleasant phenolic vibes going on. Grassy and floral notes. But the spruce tips are nowhere to be found.

The right glassware always elevates the experience. There is something comforting about when the logo on the glass matches the beer.

It is really baffling how overpowering the hop character was in this beer. Not much body to counter it, which made it feel quite unbalanced for my taste. Interesting beer, but in the end it left me a wondering what it is trying to tell me. Might get better over time if the hop character fades.

UPDATE: today was bottling day. The colour turned out to be nice after all. Nice notes of white pepper already and quite dry. The spruce tips only show up very faintly in the aftertaste, but I would have never guessed if I would not know. Can't wait for when it's actually ready.

Time for me to try them and I have to admit that the 2 years have actually done them really well.

Enjoying an excellent beer while smoking some pike perch on the balcony.

I fully agree with that. 💯

Congratulations!

Unfortunately, my social battery ran out after the first day and I had to skip Friday and Saturday... That seems to happen more often lately... I need to adjust my daily routine a bit... It's been a bit rough lately

And here is the update🍺 It turned out really nice. Beautiful color and good foam. Aroma of cranberries, cinnamon and cloves. Very Christmassy. Bold spicy flavors with quite some bitterness and a rather dry finish. Could benefit from some more sweetness. But overall very satisfied 👌
