American Pale Ale Summer Pale Ale

This is a great recipe. I've brewed dozens of batches, but this one is a beauty. The Australian Summer hops are very cascade-like, but with a bit more stone fruit. If you can't get them, go with cascade. But if you can get the Summer, go for it.

This beer was super clear out of the fermentor. Wish I had measured kettle ph.
