As usually, the first taste is not that thrilling. This still had a strong tast of yeast. I remember this from my first batch, so I”m not overly concerned. The hops definitely stand out and the beer has a tingly after taste.

Now, the waiting. Two weeks for fermentation, two weeks conditioning, then … Bottoms UP!!! Which means this beer will be ready for consumption around Christmas. I couldn’t have planned that much better if I tried!
