Summer Berry Ale bottled
Posted by bradinator in Beer, Home Brewing on February 21, 2010
Today I bottled my Summer Berry Ale and despite a moment of panic when my hydrometer read absolutely no change in the gravity all went well. It turns out that the hydrometer can get jammed in a wine-theif.
Final Gravity reading was 1.010 giving this beer an ABV of 6%. Two weeks in the bottles and a couple days in the fridge this should be a very tasty (or very awful) fruit flavour infused beer. I should pick up some fresh berries to toss into the glass when I enjoy my first one.

Beer Review – Dominus Vobiscum Blanche
Posted by bradinator in Beer, Beer Tasting on February 21, 2010
Name: Dominus Vobiscum Blanche
Origin: Canada, Quebec
Style: Wheat Ale (Spiced Wheat Ale – 5% ABV)
Appearance: This is a cloudy, very pale, light yellow. It is intensly fizzy and very heady. This beer produces a large foamy head that has incredible retention.
Taste: The is very little in the aroma area worth mentioning. As for taste this beer is quite nice, mild, with notes of grapefruit, some sour tastes as well. There is some spiciness to this beer as well, maybe nutmeg or cinnamon.
Mouth Feel: Very sharp and fizzy which is not surprising considering it’s appearance.
Final Thoughts (3.5 out of 5): If you like wheat ales then this is a beer you will enjoy. Personally I found this beer enjoyable, with a nice balance of fruit and spices.
