Maris Otter Citra smash

[Banjo-guy]

I am getting inspired by JimH's Maris Otter Falconers Filght smash.
I think my next all grain will be with MO and citra.
I think I'll split it and try one gallon with another hop just to learn how another hop tastes with Maris Otter.

I on a LIRR train right now and can't make up the recipe but that's my plan.

That sounds like an excellent idea. And I LOVE a SMaSH with MO

How does this look? I am not sure if the hops are being added at the best times.
It fits the profile for an American Pale Ale. The color is a little too light. I could add some Brown Malt, or chocolate to darken the color, but then it wouldn't be a smash.

screw the color. as long as it tastes good, then that's what matters!

[Banjo-guy]

Yeah, I don't really care what color it is.
A small amount of chocolate would add some flavor I think. I've been reading that Maris Otter is pretty tasty all by itself.

Oh, it is! It tastes roasty and nutty. Quite delicious indeed
