Target Water Profile

Light colored and hoppy

Ca⁺²	Mg⁺²	Na⁺	Cl^-	SO₄^-2	HCO₃^-
75	5	10	50	150	0
Going for a hoppy profile to keep things light (add 3 g gypsum, 2g salt to ArlCo water). Aiming for mash pH of 5.2 (about 4 mL of lactic acid).

4 of 5

v1 - Brewed 7/2, enjoyed 8/6. Deviated with long primary - carboy moved to fridge for 3 weeks while out of town. Not specified in the recipe: fresh strawberries pureed, frozen, and added at knock out.

Aroma: Bright strawberry and lemons pop out of the glass. Some whipped cream sweetness forms a luscious backdrop. Cream overpowers as it warms, distracting from the fruit. (8/12)

Appearance: Opaque, light peach color. Fantastic, fluffy, stable head. Head so fluffy that it moves en masse as sipping, so minimal lacing. A bit turbid, but otherwise gorgeous. (2/3)

Flavor - Bright citrus explodes at the front, descending into berry notes and then cream. Hops return to clean up with light bitterness that lingers. Hops take over as the beer warms. Malt notes firmly in the background. Could use a little more primacy on the fruit. (15/20)

Mouthfeel - High carbonation pricks the tongue, lightening an otherwise full texture. A little bigger than a beer celebrating a summer fruit needs to be. (3/5)

Overall - Emulates a strawberry fool with a bit too much lemon and cream. The head and color are beautiful, and the strawberry, when present, is lovely. Supporting flavors are very good, but tend to take center stage a little much. Reworking to get the flavors in order could make this an outstanding beer. (7/10)

Changes:
- Add strawberry after primary fermentation. This might be one of the few cases where it's worth moving to a secondary fermenter.
- Motueka adds fantastic brightness, but a bit overpowering. Scale back to one dry hop addition post high krausen. Aim for ~25 IBUs
- Creaminess a little much, scale back lactose ~25%
- English yeast might help the berry notes slightly ahead of the citrus notes
