Loosely based on Tallgrass Brewing 8 Bit Pale Ale. I like the beer and have some Galaxy hops, so I used the info on their website as a guideline. Kept the IBU's and ABV the same or close enough. I'll add this to the brew list. I've brewed this and a variation of this recipe twice, this recipe is slightly darker than the original 8 Bit Pale Ale but the hop profile was almost indistinguishable from the original. I created a variant with less munich and got the color spot on, however I like the my first recipe a little better so I'm brewing this one again I'll add Clarity Ferm to help clear this a little more for the float trip.
