Pours crystal clear. Golden straw in color. Thick head. Rich aroma. More citrusy than floral. Caramel malt and robust, citrusy, resiny, hop finish.
Would like to make one like this again.

FG: 1.014 (8.5% ABV)
Primed with 3/4 cup dark brown sugar

NOTE: Citrusy hop aroma, weak malt flavor. Could use more backbone. Bitter, almost grapefruit finish. The alcohol might be too much, that “hot” flavor gets in the way.

- 13lb American 2 Row
- 1lb Crystal 20L
~4.5g mash water, strike @ 175F
one step infusion mash 60min
~4.5g sparge water @ 175F, collecting 6g
Boil
60min:
1oz Northern Brewer pellets (11.0%)
0min:
1oz Cascade plugs (7.3%)
OG: Unknown
Pitched White Labs California Ale Yeast WLP001
NOTES
Brew day complicated by children. Excessive boil over, resulting in a finished volume of less than 5 gallons. Also neglected to measure the specific gravity. Since it’s not yet fermenting, I may still be able to get a reasonable reading.

Racked to secondary.
2oz Centennial pellets (?%)

FG 1.021
Primed with 3/4 cup brown sugar
34 12oz bottles

Overly effervescent. Thick head, pours cloudy, golden. Piney hop aroma. Sweet malt flavor then a hop rush. Piney bitterness lasts and lasts. Cloying? Maybe.
2010JAN26
Chill excessively. Open at sink. Barely ease up the cap. Let all gas escape. Pour, gently, gently. Pours an insane head. Head never really disappears, it subsides, as thick as shaving cream. Grassy, apricot, hop aroma. Fully carbonated. Cloudy, yeast and flecks of hops. Rich mailt flavor, then quickly piney, astringent hop-flavor. Not flabby, there’s a malt backbone. Pucker-inducing, highly hopped.

Yeast looks to be re-activated, the fermenter is now in a warmer corner of the house.
