Tasting Notes: Crisp, clean, strong hop presence
This one turned out utterly perfect & I think it's worth sharing. It was rushed to bottles and carbonation was heavy, so it took 7 weeks in the bottle to fully mature. At that point it was sparkling clear, effervescent, refreshing, and had a tasty hop presence but not over-the-top in that department.
Mashed at 150ºF for 1 hour. Pitched at 62ºF, let rise to 67ºF. 7 days in primary, then transferred to secondary & dry hopped for 3 days, then bottled with 4.5 oz dextrose.
