When I brewed this I used a different hop schedule. I used Cascade and Chinook instead and only dry hopped once for 7 days. I decided that the Chinook flavor didn't fit right and that I wanted a bit more aroma. The grain bill was right on. A subtly roasty background for hop flavor and aroma. Nice and dry. I will brew this recipe when I run out of the older stuff.
