malt forward, with Interesting hop Profile. good Balance
This is the First Recipe Ive posted, do to the fact that I wanted it to be a worthy one when I did come around to putting my own recipe on the forum.

At first glance the recipe looks like it could be to malty and cloying. Its no Hop Bomb, but I really think its got decent balance

Ive brewed this recipe 4 times now.
