First samples and this came out outstanding nice head that does not fade. Chinook hops gives it nice bitterness and cascade is just perfect. This is a Must Brew again!

2/13/15 This Brew is just great the German Pilsner grain gives the head thickness and malty flavor that is perfect.
The IBU's are probably more around 45. Which I like less
