Gday Fellow brewers. What's your top 3 Brews of 2018!
1st 2nd 3rd brews of the year.
It doesn't have to be your very own concoction I don't think, maybe one from a fellow brewer here or from a website elsewhere. A recipies link would be nice too.
Here's mine...
#1 NZ Gladfield Lager.
This brew Was back early in the year not long after I'd moved into my new abode. I just love a great malty but refreshing lager and this is as close as ive come to getting near the "IT" flavour. As per the notes on tasting crisp refreshing brilliant golden light lager with a nice malty background.

#2 Mango- Lasi- Saison.
From crisp Lager to spicey Clove saison! This beer really ticked all the boxes summer drinkability at 5% fruity sorta hoppy but full in flavour and morishness.
This one was fermented with whitelab vault yeast to add that complexity, i fell for it anyway. I've brewed a tweek recently but I'm sad to taste too much phenolic spicey almost burnt plastic going on from old yeast I think.
Here's the recipie.

#3 Lil'ale.
For a nice easy drinker with a nice compliment from my beloved Mosaic hops this beer drank nicely and quickly. OmIT the lime in recipie I thought about adding but didn't.
A good week day beer at just 4.4% notes: nice berry/lemony aroma, delicate flavour really expressed itself on this grist.

Well there's my top three. Three different styles all I'm proud to have brewed and personally thought worth brewing again and sharing with youse. It's not too early for a thread like this in hope?
Heck your best brew may just be your next.
Look forward to seeing all of your top 3 beers from the year.
It's been a pleasure brewing with youse.
Look forward to a great Christmas and brewing new year!
