Any opinions on this? Too cloying from honey malt? Too strange a combination of hops?
Spring is around the corner and it seemed like a good time to create a US version of a Maibock, a little hoppy, a little out there. Honey flavor is from malt, strawberry aroma is from the Belma dry hops. The Calypso should add some melon flavor. Safale 05 yeast will dry it out, maybe too crisp?
