Okay...here we go.
Kegged this beer a couple days a go. The grain was mostly German Pils, with some Vienna added. The yeast was W-34/70. Hops were Mt. Hood 6% AA.
We shot for 22-24 IBU's. The OG was 1.056, FG 1.016.
The flavor profile (yes, still needs to age) is very malt forward, with a subtle yeast accent. The hops are subdued. Very smooth, well balanced. But does not quite have that "clean & crisp" character that I like. The nose is very malty.
Added gelatin 26 hours ago, to help clear it out. Right now, it is bright and clear. Nearly as good as any commercial example. But the photo shows a wet moisture laden glass, so it looks a bit hazy (it is not).
To refresh your memory, this is the double batch brew that we split, Kolsch / Helles. Same grains and hops, different yeast.
To my surprise, this beer has just a slight hint of sweetness. But in the fermenter, I never detected any sweetness at all towards the end.
It will improve with time. Overall, a very drinkable beer. But not a grand champion winner.
