Notes

For the dry hop it was suggested to cool the wort after primary fermentation down to 55* for 24-48 hours to drop the yeast and other sediment. Transfer to secondary for dry hop for 4-7 days. Transfer to keg or bottling bucket for packaging. This extra step while not crucial likely helps reduce the bitterness and enhances the fruitiness of the citra hops.

This batch could also benefit from a few weeks of conditioning. Young heavily citra based beers have been reported to have off flavors. The flavor seems to greatly improve after 2-4 weeks of aging.

Note: Lawson reportedly uses Gambrinus malt as the base for some of his beers. The pale malt wasn't available so I substituted with their ESB malt. This will add slightly more color and malt flavor than the pale malt.

This recipe came from the BYO issue on Vermont beers from 2013. I've brewed it and it turned out excellent. The only changes I'd consider would be to use straight 2-Row for the base malt instead of the ESB malt, maybe try an estery English-type yeast instead of clean American-type yeast (though this would make it less of a clone), and if you want to limit the excessive trub somewhat, maybe sub out the Columbus 60 minute addition with equal IBUs of hopshot.
