Well this is the result of my IPA 8)

Image

It was racked to secondary on the 17/06/07 and racked to corny on the 26/06/2007.
I have just tapped it straight after moving the corny to the vossy kegerator. I was expecting cloudyness due to disturbing sediment but when I ran the first 1/4 pint off this was the result 8)
It looks like my haze issues weren't caused by 80% efficiency afterall.

Right the brew...

This is my first all Cascade brew and I'm very impressed. Despite only using late copper hops it has a lovely citrus and to my nose floral note.
The taste is crisp and fresh, if a little thin, and not too bitter, IMO the perfect summer quaffer.

This is without doubt easier to drink than the Styrian Stunner, perhaps too easy and I would definately say that this is on a par with the Styrian Stunner, but I guess first borns always have a special place.

I would say that I think that Styrians have a bit more complexity in taste to Cascade, though it's barely noticable :lol:

In the quest of single hop brews this is another victory to be notched on the V1 brewery door :lol:

All in all...well happy 8)

Thanks goes once again to M.Ollosson :wink:

It is :lol:

I'm basking in my own greatness just like J_P the other night :roll:

The above picture shows the clarity but not the colour of the beer. It's a deep golden colour, not the yellow of above 8)

Strewth, Vossy! What have you done? Do my eyes deceive me (:shock:), or is that clear beer you're drinking? :=P :lol:

My use of cascade came about by accident, after discussions with the friendly neighbourhood local micro, and I'm so glad we had THAT conversation.

Nice one, mate! :D
