New Year's Day beer

• it's a Belgian wit
• brewed on Sun, Apr 27
• bottled on Tue, May 13. produced 8 bottles.

Grapefruit Honey Ale

• brewed on Sun, May 4
• bottled on Sun, May 18. produced 8 bottles.
  • i disliked the taste because of the grapefruit, but DD likes grapefruit, so all is well. maybe we'll try this recipe again with a different fruit, such as the Mackinaw Peach.
  • we drank a bottle on Jun 4, and it tasted fine. the strong grapefruity taste must have subsided during bottling. the fruity taste exists, but it's mild, and acceptable to me. i like the wit beer better though.

Belgian Trippel
