Well after fermentation I bottled up my beer and gave it a taste after a few days in the fridge. It tastes pretty good, I don't usually like sweeter beers but its good. However it has very little hop taste, and seems more malt forward. I feel I did not use nearly enough hops and the lack of a late addition didnt help much. I was aiming for a pale ale but given my ingredients it seems to malt forward. Can this even be considered a pale?:
11 lbs pale two row
1 lb honey malt
1 lb crystal 40L
1 oz mosaic @60 min
1 oz amarillo @30 min
1 oz citra @dry hop for 5 days
Fermented @approx 65 for 17 days
Bottle conditioned for 7 days and chilled in fridge for 3 days. Tried it out (I plan on letting rest condition for one more week)
So does this even qualify as a pale or is it something else?
