So a couple friends and I got together and brewed a beer that was supposed to be a Pale Ale, but turned out to be more IPA like. Since that time, I've been wanting to revisit a Pale Ale, as I love the style.
Started playing around with Beersmith, and this is what I came up with, and granted, not everything is 100% completed, but hey, I'll finalize it when I go to brew it:
