Notes

After secondary/brightening - kegged and placed in kegerator for 2 weeks at 50 degrees.

Just pulled the first pint - nice malty flavor w/ a touch of bitterness.

Minimal aroma by design.
Small, tight, slightly off-white head. Nice lacing. A little "thin" mouthfeel. Perhaps I should increase the torrified wheat a bit?

For my first all grain, I'm very pleased.
