Rather than tucking in to my latest brew as soon as the two weeks was up I decided to give it a week's grace before trying it this time. Just that little bit extra to get it going. Can't really tell what it was going to be like by looking at the outside of the bottle. Only way to find out was to open it up and pour it out. The benefit of having used the smaller bottles is that I can pour into a normal sized glass in one go and it all fits. It came out a medium brown colour. Probably not quite as dark as I was expecting for an English Pale Ale, but I guess it just comes out as it comes out. The taste is what it all comes down to though. Unfortunately the taste was a bit plain. I was expecting a bit of hops in there, but was a bit disappointed that the malt flavour still seemed to overwhelm the hop flavour, which was only slight. Not that there is anything wrong with it. It is certainly drinkable, just not what I was expecting. Guess next time I put a brew on I might need to invest in some hops.
