WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

A crisp, sparkling and refreshing beer that will satisfy your most hard-earned thirst. Light in color and body, the flavor is punctuated with an assertive clean finish. An extremely drinkable beer and a true American microbrewery favorite!
-Mr.Beer

First pour of the West Coast Pale Ale came out with less carbonation than I hoped due to serving temperature. For a while I thought I was a victim of "Chill Haze" but after referance found out that this is it's proper Hue. Taste wasn't too shabby, I also expected way less. Compared to a Less Citric Blue Moon with a much dryer finish. Not bad for my first Home Brew.
