Notes

Juniper infusion (maybe 12small branches) at a simmer steeping for an hour and a half. Next time double the steep time.

Try doubling the dandelion, maybe save a few ounces or petals as a dry addition.

Came out, nice clear, and malty. Low bitterness, nice floral taste, but I think mostly from the hops. A fairly refreshing ale.
