Notes

This beer is a cracker.

Fermented slightly cold with a German Ale yeast, but loaded with American hops, this has a sweet, malty backbone with the floral hoppy notes of an American IPA. This beer was also a great educational piece for me, it really highlights the impact that yeast has on your beer (it's significant!)

Different and delicious.

Self Review. This was one of my better beers! I fermented lower than original target, at 17 degrees C. It left it slightly sweet, kind of English-malty, a little bit of forward bitterness, but had a wonderful, moderate american hop profile. Unique and tasty. Recommended!

Further to my last, the german kolch yeast was key in this. If you can't get this specific strain, try to match it as close as you can.
