A Nice Balanced American Pale Ale

This was a very basic and simple recipe. Which I think is perfect for this type of style. Very clean and crisp, somewhat similar to Sierra Nevada. I also dry hopped .25 oz of Cascade to give a very nice aroma. I'm currently experimenting with some other additions in smaller 1 gal glass containers. I'll post on the additions after tasting.
