Discussion
Very well liked by cycling friends

I brewed this beer for my friends so I toned down the bittering hops and did a little more dry hopping with willemette in the fermenter. ABV came out a little higher than expected but not too crazy at 9.5%. I served this beer to a group of cycling buddies, most are not fluent in craft beer, and they really loved it.
