Notes

3rd place at 2015 World Cup of Beer using WLP005 yeast.

2nd place at the 2017 Alameda County Fair using WLP007 Dry English Ale yeast. I think I liked this version better than the 005.

3rd place at the 2017 Amador County Fair using WLP007 Dry English Ale yeast.

Want to try the WLP006 and Wyeast 1335 (WLP025).
