Notes:

great all around brew. just enough corn to provide sweetness to balance the saaz and minimal cascade citrus afternotes. the wife said it tastes like "beer" which tells me it's not too hoppy, bitter or odd flavored for general drinkers. at the same time she said she could see how craft drinkers would like it. sounds like mission accomplished for a recipe like this. similar, but in my opinion ab improvement upon, cream of 3 crops.

Notes:

love this stuff. cascade shines through after a minimal bitter start even before carbing. Saaz flavor hits early and you get some corn sweetness too. this will please many beer drinkers' tastes.
