This uses a recipe similar to a Chinook IPA but only lightly hopped with Nugget. The extract used is Breiss CBW Pilsen Light, the specialty grains are CaraMunich III. Version 1 of this recipe was a little too sweet and dark for the aim, so I reduced the malt and grains, and replaced with cane sugar. Also, increased the boil volume, reduced the boil time, and used late additions for half the malt.

This recipe was cloned from Lil Nugget Ale.
