Just like any newbie, I was so anxious to try my first brew. It's been in the bottle a week and I wanted to see how the carbonation was progressing but I enjoyed it so much that I popped another. I need to get a grip.
This was an American Light Ale kit from morebeer that used only Cascade hops. As this is my first homebrew, it's really difficult to know if it tastes right. I mean, I like it just fine but it tastes nothing like any beer I've ever had. Are there any commercial or highly distributed micro brews that use a lot of Cascade so I can compare it? It definitely has the citrusy taste and smell that everyone told me Cascade would impart.
The kit recipe was 6lbs ultralight LME, 8 oz Crystal 15L grains, Cascade .5oz bittering, 1oz aroma, Safale 04... 1 week in primary, 2 in secondary, solid 68dF ambient temps.
