- Balanced and fruity
Having brewed not a few IPA's and Imperial IPA's I came to the realization that they were too bitter for my palate. I then resolved to brew something in the region of 30-35 IBU's but to attempt to retain all the aroma and flavour of those wonderful Mosiac hops.
My idea was also to have a full spectrum of the experience from slight sweetness of the malt to bitterness on the backend and thus I chose WL002 English Ale yeast for its alleged proclivity to leave a residual sweetness. I have no idea why Whitelabs states that this does not attenuate out as much as their WL007 for it has always done really well for me personally. This is also reflected in my software which states that the FG should be 1017 when infact it was 1012. It will slightly subdue the hops making it a perfect choice for a beer that is not overtly hoppy, but fully flavoursome and balanced.
