Method: Extract
Specialty grains: US crystal malt.
Hops: East Kent Goldings (bittering, flavour and aroma) and Cascade (dry hop)
Yeast: Irish Ale (liquid)
ABV: 5.3% (the recipe suggests 5.1%).
Yield: 19 litres
Tasting notes: Only 4 weeks in the bottle and it's ready for imbibing, pouring a wonderfully rich amber coloured body with an exaggerated stark white frothy head.
You are instantly hit with the lovely Cascade hop aroma and the cloudy body tastes very smooth as it glides down your throat. For a dry-hopped beer, there is very little lingering bitterness, allowing the full malt flavour and hop fruits to caress your palate. It's a well balanced beer and makes for a refreshing drink with a quick finish. I'm very happy with the outcome of this beer - this is one that is going to get repeated brews!
