Notes
OK, this Farm ale has a bitter after bite that you don't notice until the glass is empty. My Collegues and I have tried everything we can to get this beer in SC no luck ... so here goes, after much research on my part ... updates as brewed and followed ... 122F for 20 min. 148-150F for 60 min.
