Notes:

Good pilsner aroma. A crisp ale with a mild hoppy start and a slightly sweet finish. Very drinkable. I feel like I might be able to tweak the hops a little. The balance is good but I may play with the strain of hops used. That being said, I'm quite happy with this beer and will make it again.
