Taste Notes

Best version of this yet! Split batch into 2 fermenters. One was temp controlled, the other was room temp only. Temp controlled: Cleared nicely! Almost lager like in look.. Golden yellow with neutral nose, nice head & carbonation. Wheat tang with nice citrus & honey notes and a dry finish. Very light in the mouth. Slight alcohol warming, but not harsh at all. Bittering on this was very mellow and enjoyable. Uncontrolled Temp: A more cloudy beer, but still a nice golden straw color. Aromoa is more pronounced wheat character with a dryness to it. Fruity esters bring out a bit more of the citrus in the hops. More orange citrus, and a bit more bitterness & warming. I think I prefer the temp controlled a bit more, but I do enjoy the fruity aspects of this one.
