Credit where credit is due. I based this recepie off of a recepie here that I saw not too long ago. It used different hops in different amounts.
I wanted this to be a little more hoppy than a usual blonde ale, because I wanted the fuggles to really shine here. The malts were chosen again to put the hops center stage.
I got high hopes for this one!
