This sucker went into bottles yesterday. I pulled off a 1/2 a glass to sample after I was done and put it in the fridge to settle out the trub some. After bottling, I cleaned up and then got the sample out.

Man. This is going to be a good beer. It's got the color and body of a nice amber ale and then since I used Amarillo, it's got a really nice flavor and aroma to it. Citrussy and maybe even a little bit piney. Mmmmmmmm.

Gotta love SWMBO (who came home with a 4 pack of Guinness pint pub glasses for me that same afternoon).....when she tasted the bottling sample, she smiled and said, "That's your best on yet!!"

Today is three weeks and I'm going to play nOOb with one 1/2 litre PET tonite because I have to try this beer!

* hangs head in shame *

This is a good beer. Nice nose from the Amarillo hops.

Good body and mouthfeel. Head and lacing are nice.

Normally I make a recipe and say, "I'd change this or this," but on this one.....I'd make it exactly the same.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Sounds good. I thought Bewitched was the best straight up Mr Beer I tried but still could use some improving, yours sounds like a winner.
