Grains: Split between traditional 2-Row and Golden Promise for base malt, 4% carapils for head retention since I'm mashing on the low end.
Hops: Using a modified hop schedule from Breakside recommendations identified in Secrets of Master Brewers along with dry hop schedule from Russian River Double IPA article from July/August 2009 Zymurgy
Yeast: Wyeast 1056 as I have it on hand and want the hops to shine.
Water profile is Pale Ale
Spiced - the hops have taken on an onion/garlic flavor on the front end that isn't terrible, but it's not the most pleasant. This one has definitely sat around too long and should have been drained by now. Oh well. The back end flavor is still pleasant.
Non-spiced - pours about 3mm foam that lingers. Aroma is mosaic hops, mostly resinous pine. Flavor is exactly like the aroma, resinous pine throughout. Body is good, on the thinner side but works for a lighter, refreshing beer. Carbonation is on the lower end, just enough to have a sharpness. Solid pale ale with great flavor that you'd never know is 4% ABV.
Spiced - pours almost no foam, but what does form lingers. Color is a darker yellow but not orange. Aroma is resinous pine, mosaic hops, with a slight note of grapefruit. Taste is interesting as it is resinous pine, morphs into an almost fruity pebbles flavor, then finishes back with resinous pine. Body is thinner like the non-spiced but the carbonation sharpness is less prevalent. Not appreciably different to give a different rating so it definitely needs more spice in the next go round to distinguish it. Very good pale ale.
