Jester King Boxer's Revenge Batch Diference

It tastes good when I drink it.

 

I'm no photography expert but those two pictures have completely different lighting. It seems like that could give the beer a different hue.

 

I also believe the beer in that picture came straight from the keg, so it could have more carbonation than the bottled version. I had some this past weekend and it was delicious.

 

This was exactly what I was going to say. In order to compare with any accuracy, you'd need to have exactly the same lighting present. One is in shade, one is in direct overhead sunlight, so the color SHOULD look different.

 

Science!!!!

 

If I were Jeff, I would make really small changes in each batch just to fuck with BA's minds.

 

Then laugh and laugh at the 11 page thread on slight color and carbonation differences.

 

Blending..

 

With this type of beer making there are going to differences between the batches. There will even be slight differences from bottle to bottle. Biology!

 

I think he already does that by labeling the same sour as 5 different beers...

Calm down fellas, that was a joke

 

Yes, this blend has a somewhat darker color than previous blends. I can't put my finger on exactly why this is. Our base malt for Boxer's Revenge is a blend of organic two row and organic pilsner. Our batches with a higher ratio of two row malt tend to be a little darker, especially in a high gravity wort. That might be part of it. Also, most of the barrels in the blend were whiskey barrels filled with Boxer's Revenge in December of 2012. There may be some color pickup coming from the barrels.

Mmmmm Two Row

 

Barrel char i was thinking

 

I love how batch 1 doesn't taste or look like batch 2..........

 

Batch 4 is quite fantastic

 

Huh? This is the 4th blend of Boxer's, iirc.

 

It was an "in general" comment.

 

Duly noted.....in this thread and the other one.
