Taste Notes

An excellent light brown ale. Easy drinker for all, with small hints of the grains used. I would do this recipe again.

Notes

I was looking for something light for the 98 degree weather that we have been having in Chicago, so I decided to look at a lower alcohol, Blonde Ale style. Going with the 001 for neutral yeast, I wanted to use grains to give it more comoplex features, than just a basic recipe would do, similar to Lemur Light Ale. I also watned to give it some depth in color as I am more of a fan of deeper and richer body and color beers than a golden. Hence the name, Fake Blond...Whoops, I only got 1.030 OG, so I made a mini batch of DME with an add'l 12oz plus three cups of water. Tossed it into the fermenter 24 hours after the initial pitch. The OG is a guesstamate.
