Notes

This beer tastes a little sweet, due to the high amount of Caramunic, but it is also very bitter due to the high amount of hops.

Going to lager for a few more weeks before tapping the keg.

No noticeable off flavors so far. Beautiful color, hope it clears more during lagering.

OMG, this beer is awesome, the initial bitterness has settled, the sweetness is also not as noticable with carbonation.
