Today I tasted the finished Mandarina pale ale. It was really good - a light flavor, with some subtle citrus tones. It was a pretty normal pale ale, and although I think I liked the red ale better, I think this one turned out really well.
We drank it along with a meal of schnitzel and potatoes, which it went really well with.
I don't have much to post about since summer is coming to an end and I can't make more batches as they won't be ready before I have to go back to school. Next week I'll bottle the IPA and taste the cider, and then later taste the IPA - after that we'll see what I can get going back at school.
I also recently tried "frozen beer" at a restaurant I went to, and it was pretty good!
I ordered a summer shandy and was told they had a frozen version, so I tried it. It was basically a glass of beer with a frozen foam-looking topper. The topper is made from the beer itself, lemon liquor, and some other things the waiter didn't mention, I assume - I'd love to learn to make it though! The beer was fruity to start with, so this drink was pretty lemony and sweet, which I liked for a frozen drink, but they did also have another type that was not so sweet which would be cool to try.
