This is a beer I'd never originally intended to brew more than once, but it ended up being an accidental winner. I had just gotten a bunch of a new hop variety and I wanted to see what it was all about, so I brewed a beer with a really simple recipe so there wouldn't be any other flavors / aromas competing with the hops. And oh man, it was so good. It didn't hurt that I was trying out a cool new hop, but more importantly I'm a big proponent of New Beer Rule #6 - the best beer is the one that was in the empty glass. And considering how fast we went through that pilot batch, I knew it would be silly not to keep using this recipe. Anyway, we go for a brighter / lighter flavor in this particular beer, leaning pretty heavily on fruity / flowery hops. If there's any beer we make that reminds me of the platonic ideal of springtime*, it's this.
