Notes

Pale yellow, smooth, malt forward, light and crisp body, can taste just a bit of sweetness from the corn. A bit of diacetyl initially, which I find is common with this yeast, even with several days of diacetyl rest. It will dissipate completely with time. This beer is best after minimum 4+ weeks lagering. I think its better kegged with that fizzy carbonic bite.

Clean taste, no fruity aftertastes. Peppery? hop aroma at the end of swallow, dry and drinkable. Goes good on a hot day in the water and sunburn.

Still didnt make me the most interesting man in the world....
