The Tidal Whit

I was unable to take my first mini-mashed beer, a Belgian-style whit, to Tidal Wave this year (instead I drank a six pack of Lagunitas Kronik/Censored copper ale). I brewed too late. A week ago I bottled the brew into three six liter plastic bottles, for use with the tap-a-draft system.

I sit here at work drinking the results. There’s a bit of a funky young hop flavor (Scottr noticed it - I attributed it to the wheat at first taste, but I think he’s right - it’s a not altogether pleasant hop funk). Even with that, it’s my best beer to date. It makes me excited to brew again, and finally I have some homebrew to sample as I make more homebrew.
