First time using the Lubliner hops. I love them. Very earthy, much like Saaz. The pic is only a week after bottling (I don't know any brewer who can wait the required time before popping the first one!) Either it needs more time to carb or I needed another ounce of priming sugar. Seems to be about 3/4 a way carbed. In any event this is a super clean and clear (Gelatin for the win) beer with a crisp finish and a wonderful hop aroma.
