Notes:

Pretty clear with very mild haze; light, very mild hop flavor, grassy taste, good head when first poured, then settles into a light layer of foam. Tasty, easy-drinking session beer. Very good feedback from friends and neighbors. They asked me to keep this (or something like it) in the summer rotation. I thought it was average, kind of like Coors on steroids, but it was easy-drinking, sessionable, and thirst-quenching. I'll probably brew something like this again, but with Kolsch yeast.
