I have a bottle of Lindmans Lambic by buddy sent me from prospect. He warned me it wasn't as good as Morte Subite
and was quite sweet. I may try it next week when I get on holidays.

Good luck with yours.

Yeah, every one of those Lindemans I've tried was back sweetened, and not really appealing to me.

I found a pound of Simcoe in the back of the freezer so put together an all Simcoe IPA yesterday.

Off Kilter (an 80/- Scotch Ale) and if time permits a variation of Tony's Pale Ale that took the bronze at GCHC.

If I can find the time, I'm thinking about brewing a variation of the Cascadian dark ale (Grizzly) that I brewed in the spring. Going to call this one Kodiak. Changing up the hops, yeast (swapping in 1332 for 1318), and throwing in some wheat malt this time around.

No changes, it's not quite a clone but we all liked it, glad you enjoy it.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Brewing a Southern Tier Hop Sun clone tonight. It's a bit too thunder and lighteningy for my liking though. :shock: Good thing my stir spoon is plastic. Although, standing next to a SS kettle outside with lightening all around me is not that comforting. It'd better be a good brew.
