We are running a competition for the January Meeting. There is not a lot of details as yet but we have agreed the beer classes that will be judged. I post these now to allow brewers to organise their brewing schedule.<\/p>\n
We are going to have three classes this year (descriptions are from SAW and NGBWJ):<\/p>\n
Pale Ale or Bitter
\nOG : 1040-45
\nColour : Golden to Deep Copper. Good Head<\/p>\n
Hops in the bouquet leading to malt and grain. Full-bodied, malty and grainy with a hoppy bitter farewell. Perhaps a little residual sweetness.<\/p>\n
Export
\nOG : 1040-50
\nColour : Golden Amber to Deep Brown, Good Head<\/p>\n
The overriding character should be sweet, caramellike, and malty. Hop flavour or aroma should not be perceived. The beer will have a medium to full body. Bitterness is perceived as low to medium. Fruity-ester character is acceptable. Diacetyl character is acceptable at very low levels.<\/p>\n
India Pale Ale
\nOG : 1050-60
\nColour : Rich Golden to Deep Copper. Good Head<\/p>\n
Hoppy alcoholic and grainy bouquet. Full-bodied, malty and grainy with a prominent hop and a clean bitter farewell. Some residual sweetness to balance the hop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
