Time for another update. Version 2 is now very drinkable and delicious. It is basically like Version 1 but instead of all Cascade it is a combo of Cascade and Simcoe.
The Simcoe definitely adds some more tropical / citrus flavor and aroma compared to the all Cascade version. I like it a lot! It has a nice firm bitter finish without being overwhelming. Like Version 1, it is highly drinkable and balanced.
Version 3- which uses a combo of five hop varieties- is almost one week since bottling. I'm excited for V3 and will post my review in a couple weeks when I'm pounding them down!
