Kegged on day 11 (only yielded 2.5 gallons. Lost 1/2 gallon due to trub and hops)
This is the taste I was hoping for. citrusy, with that earthy oniony. Real nice nose.
I wonder if I should have added at least some crystal or honey malt for a touch of sweetness.
Incredible nose, extremely hoppy, cloudy and ugly light brownish.
Has almost enough body, but is lacking in malt character. Needs some sweetness
Next time, I would reduce the hops by an ounce or 2 and add crystal 20 or 40 and some vienna
....and the first world problem is.....too hoppy
