− | ==Tasting Notes== | + | == Tasting Notes == |
| + | |
| + | At kegging, Tucker Eric and Esther tasted it. We found that it was a bit floral, light, mild bitterness for an IPA (more of a pale ale's bitterness) and a hint of sour. |
| + | |
| + | After being carbonated and chilled, the sourness didn't stand out anymore. The cardamon really stands out amazingly and it's very tasty. |
| + | |
| + | == Bottling == |
| + | |
| + | I'm not sure what we'll do with all of them but I bottled a dozen bottles of this. I took 2 - one as a helper and 1 as a bottler. One is for James who helped me bottle. Obviously 2 for ryan as brewmaster, I don't remember who else helped. They're the unlabelled bottles in the secret beer fridge, in the sixpacks. The labelled ones are obviously what they are. - eric |
