Taste Notes

~20 SRM, light white head which persists for a minute or two. Bready, mild hop aroma but nothing too strong. Tastes like it smells, but flowery hops linger with a smooth bitter aftertaste. Yeast imparts some fruity esters. Smooth mouthfeel but medium-to-light bodied. Very drinkable. Overall, a winner. Definitely on the hoppy side for the style, but it's not unbalanced. The breadiness of the malt isn't as pronounced, which works well with the hoppiness. Love that EKG!

Notes

Make a starter with wet yeast or pitch 2 packets dry. Use Golden Promise if possible
