In our last episode, I mentioned basically auctioning two units of using my equipment and skills in making beer out of ingredients owned by the auction winner (donated by myself, up to a certain price point). I think I have a pretty good take on what to do for the first of the two winners, per the link.
I have now heard from the second winner, as follows:
This seems pretty straightforward (albeit a bit option-overloady), except for first, the mention of Sierra Nevada pale (which I would consider bitter-balanced, albeit not overly so), and far more significantly, the fact that the example amber she references is, unless I'm mistaken this 65 IBU monstrosity, which I haven't had in a while but tastes, as I recall, something like Fat Tire dry-hopped with half its weight in grapefruit peel.
This, juxtaposed with her second to last sentence, has me in a pretty severe stated of Extended Quizzical Head Tilt.
I won't have a chance to sit down and talk with her until next weekend at the earliest, and I'd like to get started with ingredient selection before then. Is there a pattern anyone recognizes that might make sense of this? Or do I pretty much just need to have it explained?

As for beers, I like Sierra Nevada pale ale. I also like amber ales. The amber ale at Hoppys is very good. I don't care for bitterness. I hope this helps.
