Petrus aged pale notes + bonus

Yesterday I've been round Hive account@tubequeen's for an all grain brewing session. And since you can't brew without having some beer I thought it would be the perfect event to try out the Petrus Aged Pale. I was looking forward to this. It's not everyday you get the chance to try a beer that's been aged for 2 and a half years in foeders.

This is Petrus' mother beer, the one that they use in blending their different beers to give them their unique taste and it was brought to the market and turned into a classic by the famous Michael Jackson (the beer guy, not the pop god). There's a great article about this here if you're interested.

It pours golden amber with a beautiful head that mostly disappears after about 1 minute.

It's got a fruity aroma, like limes maybe, you can smell the sourness and you get an oaky whiff.

The taste is crisp and surprisingly clean; at first you'll be hit by its strong sourness and the sweetness of the malts will mellow that down for you. After a second or two you find the oak taste with a grape and lime flavour showing up. It is a 7.3% ABV beer and the dryness makes you think of wine.
Overall it is a delicious beer, it's perfectly balanced and you can tell how much work and time went into producing it. You need to try it if you can get your hands on, it is the beer that defined the sour beer category in the US.

And now it is time for the bonus, just a couple of vids from last night's brew. I'm sure Hive account@tubequeen will make a detailed post on it to answer any questions you guys might have.

This is the all grain setup that was used yesterday. In decreasing height order we've got the kettle or hot liquor tank, the mash tun and the boil pot.

Have a look at the mash tun in action!

Thanks for the read guys!
