Peppers and Single Wide IPA

in #gardening7 years ago

Evening all,

I've spent a couple of hours tidying the greenhouse today and this gave me the opportunity to have a look at the peppers.
One of my plants collapsed under the weight of the fruit. Luckily for me it didn't snap.

I've tied it up and now I'm helping it with some support. Loads of lovely fruit; this is a Sweet Banana pepper. (At least that's what I think: note to myself, next time use water proof labels for the pots).

The next one was supposed to be a Jamaican Chocolate pepper if memory serves me right but the fruit don't look like they should at all. Actually they don't look like any of the varieties I planted so not sure what happened there; cheeky seed seller maybe.

Hungarian hot wax; I love this variety, sweet and just mildly hot, great flavour to fire balance.

And another mystery one, like I said, for next season I need to get some proper labels. These might be some long variety of topepo rosso. Who knows really ...

And this evening's beer is the Single Wide IPA by Missouri's Boulevard provided by my lovely @massive-pop.

Beautiful hoppy aroma, plenty of fruity notes, some citrus there as well. Light hazy amber in colour, with a thin head.

The colour goes great with my Oxhearts.

When it comes to taste, it reminds of a Belgian style beer, although it has quite a bit of citrus and piney notes. Not too bitter and finishes on a slightly sweet malty note. It is a 5.7% and you can tell that from the overall taste. All in all, a good beer, nothing extraordinary but that's alright.

Thanks for having a look!

Cheers guys!

I just started my first container garden this year (and I loved it ). I am growing bell, jalapenos, and sweet Italian. I would like to grow some more varities next year. Do you have any suggestions on some I should try?

Great! Container gardening is the way to go; you can also overwinter your plants for a really good start next year!
I like peppers that aren't ridiculously hot, I still grow a couple of hot ones but most are mild. I would recommend the Sweet banana, it produces a lot of fruit; I am really happy with the Hungarian hot wax and am quite excited to try the Topepo Rosso Pepper. I'm growing some Jamaican chocolate, mostly for the looks, will see how I get along with it.
I've got a Chenzo and it's really cool. It puts out black fruit that turn red when ripe.

Gorgeous the fruit and the 🍺. I hope you recieved those whaleshares.

Thanks mate!
Did I win something? I really hate the steemit notification system, no idea about any whaleshares. Do you still know where that was?
Cheers

We both did. Sent you a message over chat

Wow... nice peppers! I have my balcony garden too ;-)
... IPA is the best!
Big hug

Thanks Steemitri!
I must say your balcony garden looks pretty good! IPA is one of my favourite styles as well, I guess for you it would keep your plastic shiny and prevent cracking, not sure, hehe :)

Cheers

Haha thanks!
Yeah... I need IPA for my plastic :-) LOL

That's a beautiful looking beer, love the deep orange colour.

Thank you! It was quite nice. Cheers!
