Bad Bad Leroy Brown Ale

I actually use Glacier instead of Willamette. Since Glacier isn't an option in the hop selection, I checked something similar. The AA% is the same. I would expect great results with Willamette as well. Try dry hopping this recipe with an ounce or so of whole leaf Willamette.
