Trying to make a quick sour pale ale with peach coming from the new yeast and the hops rather than actual peach, with Ballistic Tang as a bit of a starting point.

11/1/21 - SG: 1013 (Tilt), cold crashed and cold dry hopped at 10 C. Went away for a few days
16/1/21 - Cold crashed to 1 C.
18/1/21 - Kegged and carbed at 30 psi for 3 min and sat on 30 psi for 24 hrs. Tasting amazing coming out of the fermenter.
Lots of lemon for me, almost Lemon Drop flavoured, light and very refreshing. This is pretty well liked by almost everyone and well worth making again. Tightly bubbled head that fades fast, pale straw and clean looking.
