Due to cold weather, a few of our brews have had clean, neutral yeast character. In which case I decided to brew an American ale and use dry US-05, which is the exact same yeast as the famous "Chico" American Ale yeast that has a very clean yeast character. This brew should be a citrus, piney hop fiesta with the malt to back it up.

Tasted 22 April. Balanced bitterness and malt. Delicious tangerine and citrus fragrance from the Amarillo dry hop and from the Cascade hops. A fine American IPA.
Tasted May 3. Very smooth taste with fruity aroma and a hop quality on the first sip. Develops more malt presence as it warms in the mouth - very complex flavors. Love it.
