A great hoppy session beer

This is a great session beer. Not too strong and with a wonderful challenger character. I actually used the wyeast 1469 strain which I believe is the Timothy Taylor Landlord strain. It doesn't taste like it is 49 ibus. To me it is more like about 35 and is very well balanced.
