2019 Version: adapted the hops to revert closer to the original Glove Slapped recipe. Should mellow the bitterness down and retain creamy flavor profile with citrus undertones. Hoping to maintain a drinkable brew that will appeal to a variety of beer drinkers' palates.

This recipe was cloned from Original Sunset at the Ridge.

Notes:

crisp, clean flavor. citrus aftertaste. not bitter, slight sweet/corn flavor. Good all purpose brew. Surprised at the high ABV due to efficiency exceeding expectations. Not overly alcohol flavors at least at packaging. should mellow nicely for the camping trip in a few weeks.
