Notes

On the nose, the use of Crystal hops give this beer a nice, subtle floral/herbal note that is complimented by the malty aroma. We’ve done a Cream Ale previously and it was really missing that traditional Cream ale corn like flavor. The introduction of the six row malt I think really nailed this. May try increasing the six row percentage by 5% next time to see if we can get more of that flavor out but solid recipe on its own.

Increased the 6 row percentage. Decreased overall grain amounts due to recent bumps in efficiency.
