I am drinking this beer as I type this up....super drinkable, very dry but has notes of toffee, faint butter(1187 diacytel) , biscuits, bread, fresh cut grass and faint citrus. The simplicity of this beer recipe is deceiving as the flavor is complex and fantastic.


This beer is about the yeast and its esthers very similar to how the Belgians do it. I recommend pulling the beer from the yeast early to maintain some of that diacytel that gives the beer its softness. :mug::mug: cheers
