Okay, so my LHBS gave me the following kit which he designed himself. This is the trial run for one beer for my upcoming wedding. I asked for a nice session beer that wasn't overly hoppy, but could satisfy me and the few hop heads in attendance while still appealing to other guests.
He's marketing it as a Pale Ale and said the IBU's are around 30. I put in the info and it's way higher (which is fine). But I don't think the profile really fits anything I've ever had. Any thoughts on what this beer could be? Is it a Euro IPA with Pacific NW aromas? Who knows..
What really throws me off is the hop selection and usage, you'll understand..
3.3# Golden Light LME
2# Golden Light DME
8 oz. Crystal 60
14 oz. Brewers Crystal
2 oz. East Kent Golding @ 60
2 oz. German Spaltz @ 30
1 oz. Cascade @ 5
Yeast: Nottingham Ale
