Notes

Ascetic grain bill.....very blond color which I like for these hop forward brews, Strong Noble back round just like V-2 but finishes with modern zany hops throughout the boil. Ends with a whirlpool of Amarillo as an earthy spicy counterpart to the large Hallertau bittering at the beginning....result? well-structured light bodied, strong, balanced Brett ale...."good to the last drop...if you are having more than one"!!!!

ps Citra at 15 minutes is a key component...Citra is a great combo hop....a little bit much at the end wasted in the beginning but perfect in the middle! I used to dislike this hop because as a aromatic it is too smarmy but as a co-joinder between noble and zany it is soooo effing good...my 2 cts......
