I brewed this and I continually get comments from my friends about the balance that this beer has. A beautiful clean crisp finish with a nice fresh hop bite!!! I cut it back to a partial boil but it turned out fantastic!!! I will brew this beer again!

I brewed this a while back and am going to drink the last 3 tonight. It turned out great. I used just over 5lb of Briess dry amber and WL German Ale yeast. It turned out great. A bit roasty, very smooth. Not too heavy. I plan to use more hops next time I brew this, and maybe add another grain as well. Super Alt maybe.
