Beer Style: American Pale Ale
(10A)
Recipe Type: extract
Yield: 5 US gallons
Pours a rich cooper color with an amber tint and a thick slightly off white head. Smells piney with a hint of citrus and a little earthy. Taste slight malt at start but quickly overpowered by hops. Hops taste alot like they smell and a little grassy. Slightly layered hop profile. Mouthfeel is light and crisp, not as dry as I hoped for. Think that can be fixed that with some sugar at end of boil.
