Nice and rich, medium body, light, crisp, a nice fair hop bitterness, with subtle flavor evident, and a fine boquet. Very proud of this one.

Ingredients:

6 pounds breiss liquid wheat extract,
2 lbs clover honey,
1.5oz hallertauer hops (5.2%AA) 60 minutes of boil
.75oz hallertauer hops '' 25 minutes in boil
.25oz hallertauer hops '' 10 min in boil.
dry hop .25oz hallertauer into secondary fermenter.
4oz priming sugar (Dextrose) at bottling.

Procedure:

standard instructions for any extract brew. I personally use a boiled legnth of my wifes old nylons tied at the ends with my hops for the brew, and tie a piece of boiled fishing line to a 'nylon/hop' bag in my carboy to dry hop. works like a champ, if you use a long enough piece of nylons, the hops will spread out and pull right through the opening. other than that, honey takes a while to ferment, and might appear to fermenting after 2 weeks, after the first 12 days it still bubbled a little bit, but the gravity didn't change over the last 3 days.
