This is by far the best beer I have brewed yet, after about 9 batches. I may have to brew this one with different yeasts.
Fantastic again

This beer is so delicious. It is a light pale ale, with some caramel sweetness which rolls over to a hop finish. It has a medium body and is balanced between sweet and dry. Definately a session beer. Hop bittering is about right, but flavor is a little strong. We shall see how it ages, or maybe add less flavor hops next time. Fresh, it is leaning toward IPA in flavor, although, that really is not a bad thing and it is delicious as is. Update: after a few weeks the hops started to die down and it was more to style.
