Tasting Notes

Lemon-Lime soda from late hops, toasty malt

This Beer was made for New Year's Eve 2016. It is largely based on NoDa Brewing's Jam Session, a local favorite. In reality, the efficiency for this batch was higher than anticipated, but the results were still quite good. The beer had a great hop character that I recall as a lemon-lime soda.

Swap the Ekuanot for some simcoe, and you'd have a dang similar beer. A modest dry hop would be nice too.
