This beer I brewed specifically for my sister-in-law Tracy as she has become a fan of the pale ales that I have made. I crafted this recipe based on what she has told me she like about the pale ale style, not too bitter, caramel malt balanced with citrus hops. Tracy purchased the ingredients for this beer and assisted in the brewing process. I am excited to see how this beer turns out.
