This brew was freakin' fantastic. Hops are some of my favorites, and were spot on and not overly bitter. Well-balanced and delicious.

I loved the way it came out. It's hoppiness is not overpowering, certainly leaning more toward a pale ale than an imperial. The combo of simcoe and amarillo is stellar. Give it a shot and let us know and mods you made and how it came out.
