Tasting Notes
Smooth with a crisp, almost citrusy finish. A great session beer.
This was my first attempt at recipe formulation. I posted this recipe in here before, but it was moved, I assume because I hadn't tasted it yet... not sure. Anyways, this beer has been in the bottles for 2 weeks now, tasted one last night and I was highly impressed!! This is one of the best beers I have brewed yet! Feel free to try it out and let me know what ya think, I'll definitely be brewing it again!!

- Added Super Moss @ 10 min
- Cooled wort to 78*
- Pitched at 72*
 
Cool! I've noticed that (as with most homebrews) this one only gets better with time. I had some that had been sitting in the basement for about 2 months and I slipped them in the fridge for a couple days. They were even better than the first ones I tasted. The blueline thing is a cop thing, "The Thin Blue Line".
