This is a nice beer. The hops were really fresh and they stuck out in the sample I tasted. Usually when I take a sample from my conical, I get too much of a yeasty flavour. That makes it hard judge it. Not with this brew. Somewhat clear and very tasty. I can taste the hops more than yeast. It is not over bitter ( 40 ) and |I hope it doesn't go away. I am looking forward to kegging this.
