Tasting Notes
Citrus Aroma, Willamette Hops add a earthy feel, Medium body; finishes crisp
This is my take on New Belgium's Hoptober Golden Ale. It's my definition of a perfect Fall ale. Ingredients can be found here: http://www.newbelgium.com/beer/detail.aspx?id=6780bca7-5177-4fb5-8665-1a2721d12236


Fermentables:

LME

3lb Wheat
1lb Light(pale)

Grains

2lb Rye
2lb oats(flaked)
8oz Crystal 80L

Hop Bill:

1oz Centennial
1oz Willamette
1oz Glacier


Boil:

Steep Specialty Grains then bring to a 60 Min boil.

60: Add LME and .5 oz of Centennial Hops
45: Add .5 Willamette
30: Add .25 Centennial
15: Add .5 Glacier
5 or Flameout: Add remaining .25 Centennial, .5 Glacier and .5 Willamette

Yeast Pitch Temp Suggest 60-70f


*note i played with some of the hop addition times on this batch and depending on your taste you might want to as well, didn't dry hop because i think the beer will have enough aroma from late hop additions.
