Fursty Ferret
Fursty Ferret
Anyone know this one? I had a couple of the 500mL bottles the other day, and it wasn't bad. I'm gathering it was a special or an ESB? Probably a special though.

Re: Fursty Ferret

Re: Fursty Ferret
MMMmmmmm. Lovely ESB - Link
Wheni lived in the UK i made sure i had a collection of ales in the pantry at all times. Never put in the fridge they are best drunk at english cellar temps so around 9-10C. Brings out the malt flavour/aroma more. A lot of ppl tell me i am mad but its the when in rome philosophy. The poms have been doing it for generations, its only uneducated bogans/neanderthals who choose to drink beer at close to 0C to disguise the taste of beer like VB.... "whats the matter lager boy, afraid of a little flavour?" a slight variation on the Hobgoblin t-shirt (hobgoblin being another tasty english ale)
Anyway, enough ranting, i love this beer.
Recipe wise (i know you didnt ask yet but assuming you might be interested
)
From wikipedia, here are the ingredients used - Linky
And here is the recipe sitting in beersmith waiting patiently for its turn. I subbed wheat malt for the torrified wheat and target for admiral.

I've heard of 'ask and ye shall recieve,' but I didn't even ask
Might just give it a go though.
