Hey guys!

I've some West Coast hops left over from an IPA brewed a few weeks back, so I wanted to take a stab at this Golden Ale I adore form my home town of Shrewsbury (I'm stranded in the US) It's a low ABV, sessionable ale with great hop aroma.

It's described by the brewery as such: "Oracle is a crisp, sparklingly sunflower gold ale with a striking hop profile. Dry and refreshing with a long citrus aromatic finish."

This guy gives it a mega enthusiastic review here! [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaCtpGnaYZE[/ame]

Would be interested to see what folks think of this PM recipe? As for yeast, I'm not really sure. I was thinking a perhaps an S-04 or a WLP001? Any thoughts. I'm a total n00b when it comes to designing my own recipes from scratch, so go easy on me!
