over 4 years ago 		we still don't know if this beer is going to be any good, but it has a well rounded malt flavor at bottling with a slight tart finish.
 
Notes

The flavor of this beer is best described as like a Deschutes Brewery Inversion IPA.
Very thick and syrupy
Nice balance of malts, grain and hops, with a slightly pronounced hop finish on the back of the throat
Color is classic amber ale

Requires "5" yeasts to achieve required cell count for proper fermentation or a yeast starter equivalent to the cell count for proper pitch rate.

Strike water requires 173 degrees.
