All Hail This Pale Ale

This looks like it has turned out to be an excellent batch, with a bitterness like I've never experienced. The Nugget hops really gives it a nice strong bitterness. And all this before it's even had a chance to condition in the keg. Just from the initial few glasses I've had, I expect this to be one of my best.
