Citrus Grapefruit in the nose and on first taste from the Amarillo hop-bursting at the end of the boil, and a Hoppy/Malty/Rye finish as it goes down...Enjoy
This is a great way to mimic a Bourbon Cask Aged Porter and be able to drink it in weeks instead of months. The barrel chunks (not chips)are available on line...enjoy
This is a 1.5 BBL batch brewed to celebrate the history of Fox Island WA were I live and brew. The Island was settled in the late 1800\'s and was known for it\'s Fruit, Vegetable and Strawberry farms.
IPA flavor and bitterness but under 5% ABV...it\'s made to be a summer drinker for those who like hoppy beers but want to have a few without hitting the alcohol wall

This is an ISA (IPA Style \"Sessions\" Ale) capturing the flavor and aroma of a hoppy brew without the heavy alcohol. This is a drinkable Spring and Summer Ale for those who love Hops and want a beer that they can keep drinking without getting hammered. :-)
Just a good, full bodied, balance IPA I tweaked to my liking. Just enough nutty sweetness from Special B, Crystal and Victory to balance the CBus/Horizon Bitterness. The aroma flavor is just to remind you it\'s spring. Won silver in 2003 @ Colorado State Fair for Homebrewer IPA.
This is an ISA (India Style Sessions Ale) with all the hoppy goodness of an IPA but less alcohol so you can just keep drinking on those warm summer days and nights....enjoy!!!

More corrections to the formula to give a more complex profile of flavor and bitterness...This beer is all about the 12\'s in honor of my beloved Seahawks. 12lbs 12oz of 2-row, 12ozs each of multiple other fermentable sugar sources, 12 different Hops put in at 12 different times with 1272 yeast and finished at 1.012 final gravity. On a scale from 1-10 this beer is a 12!!.... GO SEAHAWKS!!!

Nice Golden dark color to this Scottish Ale. Initial taste prior to fermentation was solid. Not too hoppy, and very sweat so the yeast should have a party. Always try to brew above 7% ABV. This one was easy to get there, but happy to be above 8%.
The Honey used is actually Bue Agave and added at 10 minutes left to the boil along with .8 oz crushed Coriander, 1.5 oz sweet orange peel,.5 oz lemon zest and .5 oz lime zest
A very pale blonde ale for apres mow time. Attenuated a bit much with the us 05... Wanted the % to be around 4% or so. Oh well. Added some grapefruit zest 15g to secondary as well as cascade and citra dry hop, 18g.
This is a refreshing summer beverage that fits perfectlly into your 4th of July celebrations or any summer gathering. RED (raspberry) WHITE (belgian wit)and BLUE (agave).....enjoy!!!
Started as an American wheat. Swapped 1 lb of what for 1lb of rye and upped the hops. Added zest of two lemons and two oranges, soaked in 1/2 c. vodka, to secondary
Scottish Bourbon Ale ~ recipe goal is to create a Scottish Ale at the top end of the range of ABV, SRM and IBU. Add bourbon soaked oak chips to secondary for nice aged finish.

Double IPA with a bitter front end (Columbus) and a hint of citrus going down from the Simcoe. ABV% of 9.1 makes it a perfect beer to forget about a bad day, or a perfect Beer to get the Party started. Go Big my friends !!
Looking for a beer that has a little of everything with some fruity hop notes augmented with Sorachi Ace dry hop in secondary or keg. I will post tasting notes later. Using it as a demonstration beer so people can taste a range of malt flavors before the beer is made.
Keeping it simple but noticeable with the willlamette and cascade hops. Held a constant 157 degrees for mashing , 1 hour. Beautiful warm color and silky smooth texture. Cold filtered for max clarity.
This is a bitter, hop forward beer with a pleasant citrus flavor.
I did not use Warrior hops. I used Citra hops, but it is not an option on the calculator.

Imperial IPA with very complex malt flavors that are well matched by very tropical and fruity aromas and flavors from the large additions of Citra hops. Great head retention and clarity. Liked by many that don\'t usually like IPA\'s
