Tasting
notes
Taste is extremely light, with a touch of grainy sweetness. The hop aroma is subdued because of small amount of hops used in the boil. If I were to brew it again I would probably add more hops and munich malt.

CreditsFirestone Walker. They gave me the full recipe and brewing notes for their beer. They got my vote!
