Notes

I have a grocery bag full of hops from a friend's garden. No idea what kind, so I'm going to assume Cascade for now because the variety is so abundant and hearty in the area. I've been wanting to do something strong anyway, so this would be a good opportunity to use the hops in a manner that is not too sensitive if I'm off on my guess as to their acid strength.

This came out amazing. It's a bit sweet up front, but not as bitter as I had anticipated. I was estimating toward the high end of bitterness and this came out at the low side. I'm figuring that this could either be because the hops (variety unknown) were low acid, or perhaps they were harvested late (some were a little brown). None the less, it's one of my favorite recipes of the last year. I had this at a homebrew party with 7 other beers and this was by far the crowd favorite.
