Looks slightly similar to the graff I did. Took mine to a club party this last week and threw everyone through a loop as they were not quite sure what they were drinking. They were also all surprised that it was extract. I really enjoy drinking it, and can easily go a little over board
I get nothing noticeable from the hops. And my recipe below doesnt accurately reflect the og and fg I got.
Next time I plan to go 1/2 wort 1/2 apple juice as opposed to the 1:4 ratio I did.
