Muntons Blonde Biere

 

 

Third Batch

 

Started  16 Nov 03

Bottled:  22 Nov 03

 

Analysis

And again - another batch with the essentially the same ingredients but used

 the pellet version of Halletauer hops this time

For an unknown reason, the colour and taste of this beer was darker and stronger than previous - very 'un-blonde' - we presume a variation in the can of mix as everything else was the same as previous

1 Can Muntons Blonde Biere

1.25 Kg 'The Right Stuff'

25 gms Fresh Halletauer Hops

1 pkt Beermakers Brand Yeast

Second Batch

 

Started  05 Dec 99

Bottled:  Dec 99

 

Analysis

Liked the first batch so much we decided to make another

with exactly the same recipe except fresh hop flowers were used in lieu of pellets

A great beer to accompany just about any food

Analysis

Heavy fermentation for first 2 days then quietened down quickly

High ambient air temps (24-27 C) probably speeded up brew

Activity all but stopped after 4-5 days

Very pale yellow beer - almost white sediment

Taste during bottling - light nutty flavour. No strong hops taste evident

Bottled in original 1 Litre Blonde Biere bottles that we were fortunate enough to have

Mature taste very mild with feint hop taste in background

We really acquired a taste for this beer

A friend said it reminded him of his trip to Belgium - must be close to authentic
