I made this recipe as simple as possible in an attempt to create a house APA. I used mostly left over hops (notice the .50 oz solo additions). I was going to make this one, then add something new next time and so on until I got it right. Thing is it is really good like this so, I guess I lucked out.
Beer is the mind-killer. Beer is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my beer. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see it's path. When the beer has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
