Growler at the Lawrence HB guild meeting. Specs: 2-row and 5% wheat. Eleven pounds of Nelson Sauvin hops throughout the boil. The beer is a slick colored golden. The beer is all hop, again that fresh cut melon and acidic New Zealand wine. Hops shine, medium-low bitterness. Even though the malts are not centered there is a bit sweeter, syrupy quality that I would like reduced. Not bad, not sweet, I would just like a more attenuated malt character or maybe pils malt as opposed to all 2-row. I could smell that fucker for a long while.
