Notes<br />
-------------------------------------------<br />
Brewer's notes: This beer may also be dry hopped post fermentation with 1/2<br />
ounce each of Cascade and Centennial hops for 5-8 days at room temperature<br />
. <br />
It's bigger than most American Ambers but has complex malt character with supporting hops.<br />
