[2010-02-13] It has been a week since I bottled this batch, so, typically impatient, I chilled one down on the back deck to have a taste. Not too energetic on the pour yet, though it did form a bit of a head when I poured right down the middle. Also, I overcooled it a bit, so had it been at a slightly warmer temp, it might have been a little fizzier.
This is actually quite a delicious brew. I was concerned that the dry hopping might make for a smack across the face of hop aroma, but I think this has really good balance. I really like the Cascade flavor, I think they’ll become a staple of my brewing for American pale ales. I’m very pleased. Hopefully it gets even better after another week or two in the bottles, but I’m going to have a hard time staying away from them in the mean time.
