Decided to tap it this morning after brewing. Great mix of citrus and floral aroma... not too overpowering though.

I missed the numbers a bit because I've changed my mash setup (went from a SS braided tube to a brew bag)... efficiency went from 65% to 80%, so this baby is packing a little more ABV than planned.

Thanks for the recipe @Trialben!

That looks interesting, with a great head. Hope it drinks as good as it looks.

Wow, 6.5 ounces of hops Craig! Good thing you’re not using tomatoes, that would be mighty expensive.

 

[GFHomebrew]

Bottled this morning.
Quite a lot of trub (which i collected for next brew). Bunjippy is carbonating/conditioning now in the cooler box and has white bottle tops

Be patient now.

 

[Minbari]

Wow! This is really good! @Trialben , this is your recipe? I really like this. Very well balanced, bitter doesn't overpower the malt. Mosaic had always been a favorite, so this hits the spot

Definitely on my list to do again

Ah glad you like it man.
Yes the culmination of many inebriated imaginations of what I'm looking for in a pale ale.

I honestly think it's a hard style to get right.

I'm glad you like the ballance of the malt and bitterness this is what this beer is all about.

Cheers!

@Trialben what is the origin for this beer name?

I agree, pale ale has such a wide definition. Like asking if you like a car

This is from the internet!

What is a bunyip in Australia?

Bunyip. According to legend, a man-eating monster called the bunyip once lived in the rivers, lakes and swamps of Australia. Its howl carried through the night air, making people afraid to enter the water. At night, the bunyip prowled the land, hunting for women and children to eat.

 

[Herm brews]

Aussie monster beer dressed as an American Pale Ale.
Cool!

 

[Donoroto]

Ben lives next to a swamp. Well, more like a small stream, on government land (can't build on a stream!). There's bunyips in that there swamp...

Nice! So it's an Australian sasquatch

 

[Zambi]

Just like a tokolosh

Yeah something like that Aboriginal in Origin.
We also have the Yowie this is more inline with the American sasquatch I believe.
It haunts the hills in the forests up behind me.
Since the bunyip is a swamp/billabong creature maybe it's more inline with nessie from Scotland or more of a hybrid

Since I now live in the Pacific Northwest, the land of Sasquatch, I need to work that into a beer name. But what style would be best suited to carry such a moniker? I usually tend to brew APA’s and IPA’s, but I’m open to ideas.

Sasquatch has to be strong and mysterious. English strong ale?

Careful, Sierra Nevada already makes a Bigfoot Barleywine.

How about a Sasquatch Imperial Stout!
Folk-Tale Ale
Wild Man Saison (or Sour, if you’re feeling spirited)

If you do brew the beer, make sure to take some ambiguous photo of it!

 

[Craigerrr]

Sasquatch is also known as Big Foot, that should open up your beer naming horizons a bit

An imperial hazy IPA: Blurry Photo.
Hazy for blurry, but why imperial? Big foot, big beer.

The British are neither strong, nor mysterious...

 

[GFHomebrew]

Maybe a wheat wine something that looks tame but deceiving at the same time oh Belgian quad.
