This beer was fabulous! i used 2/3 am 2-row and 1/3 maris otter. The hops combination is really good. Fruty-piney like, a little bit of lemony-grapefruit watermelon in the begining. Then the caramunich and caramel malts are really present. The final is dominated by the piney chinook, with an aftertaste that last forever. My keg has been emptied in 1 and a half week...think it was appreciated! I will brew this one again and again!
