This was an enlightening beer, in that it demonstrated what 'homebrew' can be. Homebrew is just beer, but it can be used pejoratively, but not this one. This one was fantastic, and really showed me what you can accomplish in this hobby.
I wasn't sure what to make of it when I brewed it. I used some crushed grains that were over a year old, but the hops were fresh. The resulting beer struck the perfect balance between sweet and dry, and made a solid foundation for fruity hops.
