Notes (Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Didn't cool as fast aa desired due to lack of cold water or filtered ice to pour into. Started at 11pm 12/29 , forgot to aerate a lot, just the stirring to cool down and the oxygen transfering containers through the funnel. On 1/3 transferred to secondary 3 gal bucket. Took FG reading and sampled beer , tasted good! Could taste the floral and citrus note of the hops with a pleasant aroma. Was very cloudy , 2nd fermentation should help. On 1/10 bottled at 1.008 @ 71F Bottled at 1.008 Fg at 71F

Notes:

This is a keeper, noce hop flavors, not too strong but enough to be interesting. Citrus notes, not really piney ... Decent head and nice color. Aroma isn't strong but it is pleasant.
