APA

I racked over the American Pale Ale (dubbed: Liberation Pale for liberating me from extract) to the secondary today and everything looked great! It has a WONDERFUL Cascade aroma, and very American 2-row biscuity flavor. The crystal malt gave it a little sweetness, but due to a somewhat low efficiency when brewing and such a high attenuation from the American Ale 1056 (it finished at 1.008!) it tastes a little bit too bitter. I'm hoping with a little age, not too much - it is a pale ale, and the carbonation; everything will mellow out together well.
So there they are. 5 gallons of APA, 4 gallons of Impy Stout and 3 gallons of Barley Wine.

Can't Wait!
