I just love this beer style. With an IBU of 54 it has a nice balance to it. The hops come through but are not overpowering. Give ths Style a go.

This beer turned out very well, I always over bitter a little to style to add that extra little bite. A great brew and the problem was I never had any bottles left to get to a competition. Brew it and enjoy Cheers Ray
