Marmite Beer

We’ve made Marmite Beer! Speaking metaphorically of course!

If you remember, back in June we made a Citra-hopped American Pale Ale. It’s just coming up to being ready to drink, and my first impressions are extremely favourable. Not so Andy’s. He absolutely hates it.

On the aroma I get peach, apricot and melon. Not harsh and citrusy at all (unlike some Citra-based beers).

The flavour has a warm rich malty sweetness coupled with some sweet fruit like melon or mango. You are left with just the right amount of bitterness which is not harsh or resiny.

Of course Andy disagrees, which shows you just how subjective the world of beer tasting is. I’m not saying he’s wrong. But I do know who’s going to be drinking a lot of this barrel!

PS I’m pleased to say the clarity is very acceptable. (Cf previous post).

PPS If you are interested in seeing the recipe for this or any other beers, leave a comment. I tend to leave recipes out because I assume that those people reading this are doing so out of mild interest, rather than any more detailed interest in brewing. If you are a home brewer and would like to see the recipes let me know.
