WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

This was my attempt at a similar beer to Oscar Blue's Dale's Pale Ale and I think it turned out really well for how easy the recipe is. Great hoppy character with floral notes and a smooth finish.
