Elaine’s Big Head Pale Ale: Observations – 5/25/07
This American Ale needs a better name. Other than that, it has a a perfect balance and is very hoppy. I was not expecting so much hop flavor; it was the first time that I spread out my hop additons over the whole boil. The American Ale has been in the keg for a three weeks now and is running very clear ( The first few pints were downright chunky–I didn’t use a secondary on this one). This beer has excellent head retention and just looks great in one of my tall 21 oz beer glasses ( Hefe style ). I have to take it easy on this brew; I was to let it age a bit more and save some for my Big sis that is coming to visit next month.
Update: 7/3/07, this beer has a better name. This beer is all good head, so big that a bird flew into it as if it couldn’t get out of the way.
