Excellent NW style pale ale. Is very hoppy but the Maris Otter extract and the grains balances it well. I used Williams Cascade hop plugs in this batch and they were great. I have to give credit for this one to my buddy Mark. I just tweaked his recipe slightly. If you like NW style hoppy pale's you'll love this one!!
