Tasting good to me Skipper!

Great balance, not too sweet. The expected fruitiness in this recipe is not "summer ale" overpowering.

The malts exhibit bicsuit, bread and walnut, to me. The malt is balanced by the bittering Simcoe but does not lose out to the late Galaxy/Citra boil, and the 25g of dry hopped Citra aroma falls light after 3 weeks bottled, while leaving enough fruity acid to cut through your midafternoon barbequed chicken snack.

Piglet Session Ale, with barbequed cheyenne pepper chicken wing niblets (buffalo wings) will be a hit with your outdoor TV, football viewing mates.

Cheers
