| Log: | 4 weeks @ 48F primary. 4 weeks @ 46F secondary. Dry-hopped last 2 weeks. 4 weeks in keg @ 46F. Carried over a lot of hops from dry-hopping so let this one sit for another month. | |||||||

||||||
| Tasting: | About as close to Pilsner Urquell as you can come. Quite a big melanoidan note giving a grainy presence mixed with sweet pilsy malt flavor. Spicy Saaz hops throughout with a just about balanced med-low body finish. Smoother, creamier carbonation than Urquell but otherwise spot on. This is the real life, Freddie. |
