KO'd@65-66F Straight forward. Officially done with my current sparge set up, clearly can't keep the HLT adequately mixed. 4/8@1.018 4/14@1.008--kegged with dry hops. 5/13. Been on tap for 3 weeks now. Burnished gold in color, with a white cap of foam. Brilliant clarity. Light lemon and herbal aromas. Chewy, nutty pale malt on palate, with a balanced bitterness opening up to floral hops flavors. Crisp, dry finish, with a slight lingering bitterness.
