Wow this one turned out fantastic!! Dripping with hops! The aroma citrus wafts above the glass and the smooth body backs up the hops well. A touch darker than the original because I'm guessing of the carmelization of a partial boil. Will retry this one sometime with a full boil.

I have been brewing for quite a few years and tend to drift around different styles as the mood and season takes me, but I have to say this recipe is home. The aroma, head retention, mouth after taste and bottle aging are all magnificent and is very popular with my friends.
