Bit of a strange review this one as its for one of my own home brewed beers, even though it is from a kit! May I introduce you to the Hoppy Copper Bitter from @lovewilko. This is the 5th beer that I've brewed and it is by far the most refined beer that I have so far, although bitter isn't to everyone's taste. In appearance, the beer is a light copper almost amber in colour with a light, bubbly white head. A rather effervescent beer to start with, H.C.B seems to calm down after leaving it to settle, losing both its head and its extreme carbonation. On the nose, H.C.B is really malty with notes of caramel and fresh bread, most likely from the yeast. Upon first taste, the beer had a good level of bitterness that is complimented by a traditional sweetness found in bitters of old. The beer is very light in mouthfeel and seems to go down very easily. With interesting notes of hazelnut, coriander and an almost acidic citrus flavour too, H.C.B is a bitter like none you'll find from your local casks. The beer and the kit themselves are both very enjoyable, probably due to me making the beer myself! To those of you that are yet to try brewing your own beer, I would strongly recommend it as I feel it will give you a greater understanding of beer and to an extent the brewing process. I would also recommend getting a box kit instead of a bag or single tin as I seem to have got much better results from them. #beer #beerdrinker #beerreview #ale #realale #craftbeer #craftale #ukale #brickyardbeerreview #alcohol #realbeer #realale #camra #campaignforrealale #beerstagram #beersofinstgram #drinklocal #enjoybeer #cambsbeer #beerchat #nowdrinking #dohomebrew #alereview #beerlover #alelover #beerloveruk #bitter #homebrew #diybeer #homebrewuk
