My homebrewing misadventures

Like Springtime in Brugge

Dubbel turned out just fine

From Carboy

With the weather turning warm, we took the chance this weekend to fire up the grill and crack open a bottle of the Belgian dubbel. Because this was my first batch at the new house, I had been a little apprehensive about how the water would taste. Turns out I had nothing to worry about.
 
The beer was great, if I do say so myself. It had a lovely orange and amber hue. The carbonation was perfect (Thanks, Northern Brewer Priming Sugar Calculator!), and the head was spot-on. The beer tasted light and sweet with almost a hint of apricot.
 
At 6 percent ABV, a pint of the dubbel was a great companion to sausage and asparagus hot off the grill.

We'll enjoy the rest of the three gallons of dubbel that are keeping cool in the beer cellar. But I'm already getting excited for the next beer on the docket: a Bavarian Helles.
