Notes:

This beer turned out to be truly good IMHO. Appearance is straw gold with brilliant clarity and generous head that dissipates in time but laces the glass. Aroma is mild, sweet, grain. Flavor is sweet and familiar with a very mild grain character and perhaps just the slightest whisper of herbal hops. Bitterness is low, balance shifted to sweet malt despite a dry finish. There is a sweetness in the beer which I believe to be more a function of low bitterness rather than excessive residual sugar. Carbonation is good right now but could use just a touch more. Perhaps the best, cleanest beer I've brewed. Highly drinkable.
