We brought 5 gallons of this recipe with us to a summer solstice. (Actually your old ex ball and chain's 40th birthday party, that happened to land on Summer Solstice) The Common Cal was drained and everyone enjoyed it. The beer finished very clear. The hop bitternes was light. I think it would be a good idea to dry hop this recipe. Also it cold have used another half ounce of hops in the boil. I would have liked to have more hop aroma with this beer.
