Notes:

Beer turned out really good, nice gold color, carbonation is perfect, lots of lacing on the glass, hop aroma and flavor are both good, whole cone hops have a smoother flavor, and the beer seems to carry more body when I use them, the bitterness isn't sharp, it's there, but not harsh. Clarity is not great, I didn't cold crash or use finings and turned this fairly quickly, so it's about what I expected. Really nice beer, sediment in the bottle is compact. I'm glad I rebrewed this.
