Feedback
Firstly sorry that I know I cant give the quality of feedback that you do. I tried using a printout of one of those BJCP scoresheets as a guide, but it didnt make my flavour identifying skills any better!
It gushed a bit when first opening, so I tried bleed air off a few times. Eventually I just poured into a large glass and let the foam overflow out the glass. Cos I was anxious to taste it!
Gotta say, I completely forgot that it was a light beer initially while tasting, and that says a lot.
Rich gold beer colour with off white/ ivory firm head and a small amount of lacing.
The aromas that came off the foam were amazing, probably along the lines bready with a bit of caramel and maybe some dark fruit. The hops aromas I got seemed to be herbal and floral but maybe some yeast / ester elements in that I couldnt tie down.
Flavour similar to aroma, with bready, caramel notes and less dark fruit, but also a bit grainy. Also earthy and dried fruit undertones in addition to herbal and floral notes.
Mouthfeel and body were pretty good I thought for a low ABV beer, with a bit of creaminess left on the tongue.
I had a Windhoek Light after this taster and would definately choose yours over that.
Great job, and thanks for sharing.Cheers,
Lang

Not actual values, maybe not even correct, but doesnt it give you about 40% more IBU that you planned in your original recipe?

Though I do remember you mentioning the bitterness tasted just how you wanted.

Fermentation is done. Did a 3-day rest at 15°C and it's busy crashing down to as cold as the fridge can get it. I've had a taster. This is one damn good beer. Much, much drier than the previous batch and also a lot less hoppy, and pretty clean and already almost "crisp". I seriously can't wait for this beer to be done. This one is going to be GREAT. I'm super glad I made 25l, and another tiny batch (yes Langchop, I know what I said about smaller batches)

Yeah next up I'm going to do the same base malt (Vienna), but I'm going to cut it with Pislner malt and leave out the CaraMunich II. I want to see if I can hit those notes without the colour. Also, hops. Man, hops play one HELL of a tole. I used Admiral for the previous batch, but this one I used Southern Star. It's a lot milder hops, with a significantly smoother bitterness. I can't wait to make more with these hops, they're awesome. Also want to try those T90 hops that Langchop also introduced me to. Apparently a hops very similar to what SAB uses in beers like Castle and so on. Want to see if I can make a Castle close, but just better. Better colour and malty goodness. That'll do well with the Vienna, I believe.
