Bodacious Ale

The name for this ale was insisted upon by a friend of mine. I think of it however as a more Northwest style ale.

Log:	The Cascade hops were thrown in after the boil. I let them steep in the wort for about 15 minutes before I removed all the hops and chilled the wort down. I then sparged through the collection of wet hops.
