Very low color or flavor contribution.

I've been playing with this recipe for a few rounds now and I'm really happy with the way this turned out. Light and sessionable, yet nice hop presence and a dry finish. If I were to make one more tweak to this recipe I'd probably dry hop it with some additional Simcoe and Amarillo.
