I was reading up on Apollo hop characteristics and thought it would make a great IPA along with a good dose of Simcoe and some rye spiciness for summertime. I used WLP0008 before reading about the tart character that it tends to leave on the beer. It probably would have been a better idea to use a classic clean yeast like WLP001, but this will make for an interesting IPA. Ingredient characteristics point towards a floral/citric prominent beer with mild malt spiciness and a dose of tart yeast character.
