Bitter

This had a much better hop prescence, but was a little too bitter for easy drinking.

Not quite right

This beer was a little too bitter, and the hop flavor was not right. A little too fruity / lemony. The beer also never really cleared. Head was good. Next time, back off on the bittering a little, and finish with saaz.
