Hey folks,
My lady friend loves Six Point's Sweet Action, and I've been trying to do some detective work to put together a recipe. The website puts the IBUs at 31-33, and the ABV at 5% even. Both very helpful! But that's the end of the info from the brewery. Piecing together info from various sources, this seems to be an American Blonde (though some have called it a Cream Ale) with Yakima hops and a Belgian yeast (the brewery calls it 007, and it's highly flocculent).
An article about the brewery referred to honey malt, but it didn't say if that was for Sweet Action or another beer (though I suspect there's a bit of it in Sweet Action). I read a blog post about a brewery tour where they were using wheat for the Sweet Action, but I'm not sure how much.
So, anyone out there who has had this beer want to hazard a guess on:
1) How much wheat is in the grain bill?
2) What the heck 007 would be akin to. (Is this WLP-007???)
3) How they get so much aroma in the beer. Is it dry hopped??
Thanks.
