Ridge Trail Pale Ale
I need a beer on the lighter side that will be ready pretty quick for
the second half of the summer so this is what I've come up with. I
usually brew super-hoppy beers but this time I am going for something
a little more balanced but still slightly hoppy (BU:GU=0.59). The
name is for one of my favorite hiking trails near Lake Winnipesaukee.
