Notes

The magnum hops I grew up the side of my house. Of the 5 types of hops I grow, this one is the biggest beast of them all, by a considerable margin.
The only thing is that the strength of it is debatable, but it has a lovely clean bitterness that lets the other hops through with their flavour.
I’m adding this to my regular repertoire as it is really pleasant to drink.

This brew is an easy drinking summer favourite. Lots of flavour but palatable for people who don’t consider themselves “craft brew people”.
