O.G. Pale Ale

Source: Joshua Dibble
Recipe added: 08/14/05

The beer came out much lighter in body than I had intended, and as a result, the aggressive hop schedual was over powering. I would cut down on some of the bittering hops if your efficiency is as low as mine is. Some months later... this beer has aged very well, and the hops are much more mellow. A very delicious, and hoppy, California Pale Ale.
