Commonly malt flavors include nutty and biscuit. Northern English Browns typically are a bit drier on the finish [...]
I couldn’t be more happy with the way the Carty Cascade 2009 turned out! Recall I was shooting for a straightforward APA recipe that would showcase the hops we harvested in September. Here’s my writeup of a recent tasting and a picture. I really enjoy the hops and look forward to future harvests!
