(Mainly) Pacific Gem Citra Pale

[HopIt]

Not one for posting recipes as most of mine are a bit random. Bit of this, bit of that, some you win, some you lose.

However this one was worthy. Quite a peach-fest, very hop forward and fruity, but quite delicate. I'm not the most precise with my water treatment, but think I hit the sweet(!) spot for this brew.

I was quite worried about the IBUs being too low, but I think the hop character really dominates so you're not left wanting. Most of the pales I do these days use "hop bursting" or whatever its called. What a great technique!
