From the DL Geary website:
"The style of this ale is traditionally European, similar to a German kolsch: full bodied with a spicy hop tang and a rich, crystal clear golden color. Alcohol content is approximately 6% by volume."

They also list the ingredients:
Availability: April - September
Original gravity: 1060
Ingredients: Two row English malt (clarity, wheat and caramalt); Magnum, Tettnang and Saaz hops.

I added a touch of Chocolate Malt to match the color.

I brewed this four weeks ago and will be kegging it tonight.

Here is my blog post on how I developed the recipe:
