The third batch of beer brewed this year is BOTTLED! And, if I may say so myself, it tastes pretty darned good.

I brewed this one thinking that I wanted it to be a little darker and a little maltier than the first one, but I still wanted a zingy hop flavor, so I threw in plenty of Newport hops. That turned out to be a pretty good idea – the bitter hops were strong enough to counterbalance the sweet malt. Very yummy.
