Extremely light beer

I made a SMASH 2-row cascade IPA the other day, and I underestimated how light the beer would be with just 2-row.

The color looks basically like this (maybe a pinch darker because I used a bit of carapils to improve mouthfeel). This image came from google.




Looks a little gross, but I guess I'll found out in a few weeks.

Has anyone made a beer this light before? How did it taste?

 

smash 2row cascade makes a very nice clean drinking beer. the colour will look better once fermented carb'd and in a glass.

 

Make sure to post it when it's done!

 

When I make a light colored beer I try get it light in color but that is too pale for me and almost looks like wine. But in the end it is what it tastes like.

 

What was your original gravity?

I've done plenty a 2row (and other base malts) SMASH at 1.050ish range and they're usually a nice straw color and delicious. The only truly ugly beer I had was 2row with a lb of munich and it turned just a very weird light but murky brown color. Not sure what happened there.

 

That's what she said.

 

Wicked Weed's Pernicious IPA is almost that light. It didn't bother me, especially considering how delicious it is.
