This is really a good Summer beer. Light and refreshing. It will share house beer status with 1015 Pale Ale.

This got too warm during fermentation and I think that along with the flaked corn and extreme low FG it's coming off like a dry corn cider. Hopefully it will ease up after awhile. Otherwise it will be a gift for some schlump.
