4 of 5

I enjoy the Hoppy Amber Ale.
It has a strong Amarillo smell with a tad Grapefruit from the Cascade, the Galaxy might be better added in a 20-25min whirlpool at 75°C since i personaly dont taste allot of it.
The beer is carbonated enough to sparkle and have medium mouthfeel, also helps to smell the beer nicely.
I enjoy the feel of the very hoppy beer, it helps relief stress.

Worth a try if you dont like much alcohol but a good amount of hops in your beer at summer.

Also some stats:
OG: 1.045
FG: 1.011
And my alcohol should be about 5% ABV since i added sugar on bottling.
