I'm sat here with the temperature well up and I just cracked open the first bottle of this, and it's a very tasty, very refreshing beer. Good enough to share, but this is the first recipe I've thought worth sharing, so please be gentle...
The crystal hops make for an interesting nose and mix well with the spices to give a combination floral/fruity edge. The rye (added after trying Sterling Gold) makes for a touch more spice - maybe a touch excessive for some, but try it cold on a hot day and I'll guarantee you'll be glad you brewed it.
If I've missed any important details, please let me know.
