Hard to tell from the picture, but the beer is exceptionally clear.

Looks good! Can you tell us about the yeast and fermentation temps/times? Also tasting notes? Thanks!

LOL...I gotta stop posting recipes or at least medal tallies--I've been "outted!". Congrats on your medal as well! This one didn't get a medal in Lethbridge where dark lagers were combined with porters but some of my other beers did well. We'll see what the judges had to say plus hope for the best in Regina in a few weeks. I don't know that I have enough left for Edmonton, Victoria, Vancouver, and Montreal--must be time for a re-brew!

I'm about to brew a similar beer and was wondering what sort of water profile you used for this.
