Tasting Notes
I am not that great at doing notes -- its thick, malty with a kick and a nice balance
Posting this one, becaush i am drinking it.

*hic*

I wash not sho good after only 7 daysh in shu bottle.

/end drunken joke.


I tend to sample my premature beers by opening a bottle every 4 days or so to check the development of flavors. This beer was not very tasty at first, and then: it .. just .. kept .. getting .. better

I was already busy editoriolizing the recipe to make it work, and then i realized (?!) that time did all the work for me.

Without further ado, Red Fury:

This is worth your time, if you allow it to age mellowly.
 
So i reach into the beer fridge to grab one of my lPAs with the GREEN caps, and come out with a 22oz RED CAP.

Time is a beautiful thing.

This beer really got beautiful after 6 weeks of chillin.

It's simple and i will try to make it better now that i have more experience, but i am definitely surprised at how much better it got with time!
