This beer just had such a great session beer profile. Light body, but great hop aroma, making it perfect for hot summer days.
So, I thought, after having some amazing spicy beers along this summer, I'd try my shot at it with this recipe.
I wanted to use some seasonal chillies, and serrano peppers are in abundance in socal this time of the year. Being my favorite peppers I wanna use them in this recipe.
I just bought a bunch of them and was thinking about using 7 to 10 in the boil, and maybe another 5 or so in secondary. But wanted to get some feedback on it.

Cheers, IPAle
