Notes

The blend of hops are;
1oz. Columbus 15.2aa
1oz. Citra 14.2aa
1oz. Centennial 9aa
1oz. Chinook 13.1aa
1oz. Nugget 13.8aa
Mix together in a bowl and portion them out in 1oz. portions for timed additions.
Don't be afraid of the IBU's! This is NOT a very bitter beer, it's very well balanced with a Malty backbone and a bold hop flavor and aroma. Drinks like a mild double IPA.
