Hops/Yeast
Target, Cascade/Belgian Ale Yeast
2 Hop Heaven – IPA, 6.8 %, IBU 60
“An India Pale Ale, made with Maris Otter and munic malt, which leaves some sweetness and color (what do you mean by leaves some sweetness and colour?). Powered up (what do you mean by powered up?) with 570 grams of American hops. There are notes of tropical fruit in the aroma, and a long fruity aftertaste, with a hint of malt, hops and bitterness.”

3 Not that Bitter – English bitter, 4.5 %, IBU 25

4 Norwegian Farmhouse Ale – 6.1 %, IBU 23
“An Amber beer, made of pale ale (When you say Pale Ale, is there something more specific that you should use here?), Vienna malt and American hops, with a ‘Belgian’ aftertaste. The yeast used is KVEIK, an old Norwegian yeast from the west coast. It´s a very special yeast, continuing to ferment at temperatures as high as body temperature.” (I’m hoping I’ve understood this correctly!)
Hop/Yeast
Cascade, Citra/WLP 6788 Norwegian Farmhouse ale (KVEIK)
5 Oatmeal stout – 4.9 %, IBU 23
“A classic oatmeal stout, using Maris Otter pale ale malt, several dark malts, and of course the oatmeal. It has a hint of chocolate and coffee in the aftertaste. Despite being dark, it’s not a heavy beer at all.”
Hop/Yeast
Target/Irish Ale Yeast
6 Belgian Dubbel Jr. – 6.9 %, IBU 21
“A brownish beer, with a hint of hops and a nice Abbey yeast aroma and flavour. You’ll also appreciate notes of dried fruit and prunes. It`s called ‘Junior’ because it is slightly different from my usual Dubbel!”
Hop/Yeast
Hallertau Mittelfrüh/Belgian Abbey Yeast, (M47)
7 En Enkel – Belgian Enkel, 5 %, IBU 31
“A bright Belgian beer, great for the warmer weather. It uses Lagermalt, English and Czech hops, and, of course, an Abbey yeast. Light in color and taste, there is some sweetness in the aftertaste from the yeast.”
Hop/Yeast
E.K.G, Saaz/Belgian Abbey II
8 Chilli WIT – a Belgian WIT, 4.5 %, IBU 17

9 Weizen Bock – 7.6 %, IBU 14
“Here I was aiming for a stronger, richer WeissBier, so I tested out a WeissBier yeast from England. It`s a lightly cloudy beer, with spices (is it the taste that’s spicy?) and notes of banana.”
Hop/Yeast
Hallertau Mittelfrü/Crossmyloof KristallWeizen
10 Cucumber Saison – 6.2 %, IBU 20
“A Belgian Saison, with a twist. After four days of fermentation, the juice of 14 organic cucumbers was added, together with 300g of Citra hops. It has a very low sugar level, and a taste of hoppy cucumber.”
Hop/Yeast
Citra, Saaz, Target/CrossMyLoof Lille Saison
