Upon first tasting, too bitter. Filtering left a real clean bitterness and cut some of the raw bitterness out of the beer. Reduce early hop additions. 1/2oz FWH would be just fine it seems.I
great aroma, color is a little light and body is lacking complexity. Add some Munich or honey malt.
Phenomenal beer over all, one of my favorites so far!
08JAN15: Malt bill and hop schedule revised to suit the previous statements. Munich 20L, Melanoidan, Carafa II and Chocolate added (1.5LBs, 1LB, .25, and 1 ounces respectively) First wort hop down to .5 ounce citra. 15 minute additions taken to 10 minutes.

Split 10 gallon batch utilizing Wyeast American ale I and II for comparison.
***American Ale II was the winner, widely accepted as a better taste profile. Too Much Lavender... Maybe .2 ounces...***
