Tasting Notes: Perfect for the style and super clean. Has a slightly noticeable alcohol aroma.

This beer won me 3rd out of 16 at my local HomeBrew competition here in Frederick, with guest judging from a Flying Dog brewer. It was deemed perfect for the style, super clean, but young, which was the only bad thing about it. It had only been in bottle for 3 months at that point. I recommend 6 months of aging at least.

This beer was obviously un-fined, as I didn't feel the need to because of how dark it is. Notice the bits of yeasties floating in the glass.
