1.00 oz Styrian Goldings [7.00 %] (90 min)
1.00 oz Saaz [3.80 %] (15 min)
1.00 oz Saaz [3.20 %] (5 min)
1.00 oz Coriander Seed (Boil 5.0 min)

----------------------------
Single Infusion, Light Body, Batch Sparge
Step Time Name Description Step Temp
90 min Mash In Add 18.75 qt of water at 162.9 F 148.0 F
Bottled conditioned at 3 volumes of CO2. Added an additional pack of T-58 dry yeast at bottling time to ensure carbonation.
This beer placed 2nd at the HOPS BOPS homebrew competition in Philadelphia
Below are the judges feedback:
Aroma:
1. Peppery, clove aroma with maltiness. Slight Banana appropriate to style
2. Clove-like, some phenols, no hop
Appearance:
1. Golden, Brilliantly clear. Big, Big off white head that lingers
2. Gold, good clarity. Big Head
Flavor:
1. Balance forward toward malt. Beer with spicy notes; slight citrus(orange) flavor with alcohol detectable.
2. Spicy and fruity up front with lingering bitterness and some alcohol in the finish
Mouthfeel:
1. Full Body, High Carbonation. Some warmth, medium creaminess.
2. Medium Body, good Carb
Overall:
1.Big, Spicy, Fruity example of the Style
2.Alcohol big in finish but otherwise very good.
This beer is still only about 4 months old. I plan on stashing the rest of the bottles for a couple more months and entering it again later on. Hopefully by then the alcohol hotness will mellow out and the score will improve a little bit. It ended up scoring an average of 38 between the 2 judges.
