This is the first beer that I have brewed that I actually like. It was my 4th batch and first time editing a recipe to my liking. I would like to share the recipe in hopes of some feedback.

Tasting notes: Sweet but still hop forward. At 1.010 I didn't know how much sweetness would reside from the Marris Otter and Rye but this has a nice malty background to compliment the in your face Citra hops...
