Nettle Ale - Taste test

A while back I made Nettle Beer so here's a little update on how it's getting on.

Nettle beer: Tasting time



Well, it's still not cleared down yet, but as you can see from the bottle quite a lot has.

It's not unpleasant. Kind of like ginger beer in mouth feel (ie Thin) Slight carbonation, but not fizzy by any means but that will increase over time in the bottle.

Taste wise, humm gingery, (that'll be from the ground ginger) and with a definite and quite strong nettle flavour, fresh and grassy in aroma.

I think it will be okay with time to clear and mature in the bottle served Ice cold.

  1. It looks revolting, like muddy water, but tastes surprisingly nice!

  2. It is very muddy! I hope it clears, the taste sounds potentially interesting...

  3. Left it awhile in the bottles now, and it's loads better.
