A hoppy west coast Amber Ale, Mash temp should be 152F to 154F if you like a less hoppy beer you could use less hops but lower the mash temp or it will be to sweet.

I like more hops but my friends don't so this was a compromise adding more hops late in the boil adds great hop flavor without a sharp bitterness. the malt profile on this beer is right on target and is a great place to build from.
