First pour of my Dunkel. It will lager a while. So this pint isn’t real clear. Nice and malty goodness.
 
Not a good hop for a wheat beer but don't give up on Sabro. I've used it in a porter and many IPAS
Not a wheat beer in the banana/clove sense. This was an American Wheat and a pretty blank canvas. Still, it wasn’t the best choice for this style either.
The other time I used it was in a Porter as well, and frankly I felt it clashed big time with the dark malts.

However, I am willing to concede that there could be many reasons why I didn’t care for them that can’t be blamed on the hops themselves. Mainly that I completely butchered the timing and/or the quantity of the additions. Hops are a great mystery to me.
 
Kegged my “Irish Breakfast Stout” had a pint left over. This turned out quite well. I need to obviously let it carb and chill. So I used oats in place of flaked barley. The taste is less dry and maybe smoother? At under 4.5% this should be an easy keg to empty once the time comes

Something new and interesting from one of my favorite local craft breweries, Chapman Crafted. This is hopped exclusively with Centennial, so it’s piney with citrus. As the label states, for those of you who know the song “shifting and drifting.”

Try it's cousin Talus if you get a chance.

Dark mild here man if it were just a bit thicker in mouthfeel I'd be a happy brewer back to the drawing board.
