It's time to make a big beer for Tax Day and the horrors that come with it. It's all a scam anyways, right?
The original recipe was simply Apollo to bitter, then Simcoe, Chinook, Amarillo, and Mosaic for flavor and aroma. Then I was digging through my freezer and found an ounce of Columbus I wanted to use. I think it will help add a nice dank resinyness (is that a word?) to the flavor side and the aroma in the dryhop.
The grain bill is very simple. This will (hopefully) allow the hops to shine with just that touch of background sweetness in a dry finish that is enhanced by the addition of a pound and a half of dextrose.
