Well initial results are in. Not my favorite beer by a long shot but quite drinkable. Color wise I'd call it an amber. Taste wise I'd say it's an underhopped pale with noticeable honey overtones.
Part of the reason for missing my target(a brown ale-stout) was my timidity in roasting the grains. I just never got anywhere close to the darker malts with my GF grains. Their lack of additional bitterness is likely why it comes across as underhopped.
The non GF drinkers enjoyed and it consumed it without hesitation, so I guess that's a compliment. The intended benefactor was VERY pleased(jumped up and down actually) So I'm calling it a win even if it's not what I was trying to make.
History is written by the victors right (really I meant to do that )
Can you post your final recipe for this one? I might have had a few too many, but I don't see it.
