Tasting Notes

crisp, clean, great citrus hop flavor

I have brewed this three times so far, love it. As the weather is heating up, its time to go at it again. Perfect poolside sipper, with lunch, after mowing the lawn or just about anytime. Hoppy enough for a hophead, and a good gateway for your BMC neighbor.

Just tapped this same exact recipe, but my LHBS was out of citra. Used Galaxy, whirlpooled for 15. Big hit here as well!

two weeks in the bottle, needs a bit more time, but tastes great

5.5# white wheat
1# flaked wheat

Why the 1 lb of flaked wheat instead of 6.5 lbs white wheat? I realize the flaked what is probably pre-geletized, but what advantage does this contribute? Only asking as I want to learn. Thanks.
