Tasting Notes

Big Citrus with Peach Fruity esters

First try using FF blend, and it's a winner. Vermont Ale yeast (Conan) adds so much character with it's fruity esters. Some have trouble with first generation and attenuation, but I didn't get that using a 1.5 L starter.

Assume 72% efficiency.

This is quickly becoming my favorite hop. I love earthy / fruity hops but this has that stank citrus fruit love thing going on. My next pale ale is going to be all FF. +1 dude

Awesome!! I have used the FF like this in place of all the Citra in the Three Floyd's Zombie Dust clone on here and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing.

Cool...... I just brewed an IPA the other day a lot like this. I had stepped up a starter from a couple cans of Heady Topper and was looking for a moderate alcohol beer with a simple recipe to see how the yeast came out. I chose a 1.055 IPA/APA, basica grain bill, bittered with nugget and all Falconers flight late, flameout/hopstand and will dry hop with Falconers Flight too.
Glad to hear you were happy with yours. Hopefully mine will turn out well too.

Getting ready to bottle some right now. Did not have quite enough Citra to make a full boil, saved that for dryhop. Did the boil with cascade early and then some Falconers Flight. We shall see!! View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1420385607.021365.jpg
