---------------------------------------------------------------
Deep amber Sierra Nevada pours with a white, frothy head. The aroma has a huge, complex bouquet of spicy flower and citrus from Cascade hops. The bold hop flavor balances out with smooth, rich malt. There is an endless hop finish and aftertaste from this classic, full-bodied beer.
Tip - This ale will be best 2 - 4 weeks after kegging (or 3 - 5 weeks after bottling) as the hop aroma will start to fall out. If you intend drinking after these timeframes, you might consider dry-hopping with an additional 30g of US Cascade (or similar) for 5 days during the latter stages of fermentation.
This recipe assumes a brewhouse efficiency of 70%.
