If it is still called the Exeter... The Exeter is a bit up an down with their beer. It’s an awesome pub. When it’s good it’s really good ... A walk down to the Grace is worth every step. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 So, I can see why @Dustin Frothman suggests 8 weeks as I can see were it can develop....and that is a positive In saying that though, straight to the pool room. I can think of a few meals I cook that this will go perfectly with, chicken kway teow* being one but will find it very hard to rate this outside my top five beers and if it is, it'll be 6. *I will put up this recipe with photos next time I do it...it is seriously worth it. Halfway through this pint and just remarking "effing hell tht is good, like seriously good" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say though, the darker beers don't sit as well with me as the lagers. I mean, it isn't a big deal, just mix them up with a couple of lagers through the night 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 @Rob Courtney So how was it really at 8 weeks then? Genuinely interested in your opinion on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely interested in your opinion on this one. I will let you know in an hour or so, not sure idf I had it in the wrong glass, or whether I was in the wrong frame of mind ( counselling someone out of the business...always just fun) but it just was OK...but when I had it last week it was exceptional...so I will mix it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Ok, so just wasn't a fan in the imperial pint glass and maybe the other stuff. So in the Stella glass it is a spot on version that I had out at a cafe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 So, a less drunk and tired perspective @Dustin Frothman, the fruity hops hit your nose as you are about to take a sip. I don't find the beer too bitter but they may be offset by the strong passionfruit flavour. This is a great beer, my only issue with it is I can't session it, I could have three or four pints and then I have to move onto something else a bit more lagery... In saying that though, such a strong brew 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain 3 Droids Posted June 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Put this down today and plan to dry hop on day 5 with 15g each of citra, simcoe and Nelson sauvin. Can’t wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keg #2 is currently sitting at 84 days in secondary so it will get a run shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 16 weeks in, still a very nice drink. I guess flavours aren't quite as strong, or maybe they have rounded off a bit and are not as bold but stiil a good drop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
