Heretic Gramarye -Rye Pale Ale
A pretty classic APA. Fully bodied and hoppy. I like it. I read that rye gives a spicy flavour. I *think* I could taste that? but it could have been something in the hop character? hard to tell. IF I like the American Wheat when it is done, I might later try a version with rye in it.
Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter
as I've written several times, this is supposed to the most classic of the brown porter style. It had some nice flavours but it's too something for my preference, sweet?
I'm concluding that I like nice clean, dry yeasts best, at least at the moment. No surprise given my general aversion to too much sweet. Which, simplistically, means more American ales and less English ones for me. Irish and Scottish ales are on the dry side too, so there is plenty of choice.
So the revised plan for my next couple of brews, is that I will do an Irish red ale rather than an English bitter, and an American robust porter instead of an English brown. Both of the revised choices are done with a clean yeast. I'll plan to do an English ale next autumn.
