Re: GRIMBERGEN.
OK, I fully accept that the shape of the glass determines the aroma held above the surface. But what shape are you recommending? A tulip?
The most important shape/content is the flute for champagne. Serving champagne in a coupe (allegedly the shape of Marie Antoinette's breast) allows the wine to warm, and the fizz to disappear.

GRIMBERGEN.
Hi,
All of the special brews have their own glass shapes produced for them.
So assuming you've never seen the one for Grimbergen beer try to find one that comes closest the shape of an elipse (egg shape) cut in half and put on a stem and foot.
Absolutely.
Cheers,

no, no flaming just didn't quite know what fdegrove wanted... however i could flame you for not saying what fdegrove wanted to know...
i love posting just for the excuse of using a new smilie 


anywayz a v. good friend was round at the weekend so good excuse to open a couple include a 'leffe' which IMHO is not as good.

Hi,
Geez,Helix....you didn't get the crux of my innuendo?
I think Zardoz did...it was the typo,the bottle and the Coca Cola glass of course making me wonder how many Grimbergen you'd had already.
Surely the fact that I'm a Belgian resident might have rung a bell?😉
Other than that that I see a Iiyama Visionmaster 450 and a Dell laptop...nothing I'd joke about.
Cheers,😉

Re: DEMYSTIFIED.
Oh, I don't know, I can only see 9 hours on Helix's timetable. Must be to leave time for all that beer.
Nevertheless, Heffe isn't all that amazing. It's still far better than Carling, but that only brings it into good transistor territory. For valve equivalents, I offer:
Pilsner Urquell: Flavoursome but reasonably delicate: EL84
Tsing Tao: Very respectable Chinese EL84 equivalent
Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby Mild: Rich, and coloured: 300B
Brugse Tripel: Big, powerful: 845
Fullers' ESB: Precision and honesty: 6J5GT, 6SN7GT, 7N7
Miller Lite etc: Mismatched pair of AC127/AC128

Not really a time table as such.. more of a truth table
In all i have 18 hours uni and 30 hours employed work... not bad, leaves time for drinking

research complete
after an exhaustive search i have come to the following conclusion.
the best beer is: the one i happen to be drinking.
alas it is empty, so i must fetch another from the fridge.
