Notes

Rye Wit Recipe from basic brewing radio. It is a low gravity beer just coming in at 2.1% ABV. James' recipe is for 4.5 gal,
scaled to 2.5

I am really excited about this beer. It turned out fantastic. For a 2% beer or compared to any percent beer it is dynamic.

It is extremely well balanced. The Dry hop used, Australian Summer, goes perfectly with the style. It has a clean palate with a spicy zing that fades quickly with a faint flower taste. I do not like a harsh and biting hop presence. It is not a hoppy beer, but would appeal to those who like the bittering character of an appropriately hopped beer. It is not thin or watery. The mouth feel is full and coating, presenting as a much bigger beer.

The next time I brew this I am going to experiment with another dry hop ( australian galaxy) just to see what difference would be.
