Batch 148 APA tasting notes

Cold

Pours quite hazy deep gold, solid fine white head that stays

Aroma fruit and more fruit, apples with orange citrus, slight bready malt in background

Mouthfeel light to moderate, cleans up quick but bitter at end

Flavor fruit punch followed by sharp bitter edge, malt is sweet and not quite meeting the hops, no burn or heat, overall pleasant bitterness.

Finish is clean bitterness, slight cloy around edge.

Overall could use a little more specialty malt, hops are pleasant and still offer a sharp bite, could use a little more abv to balance hops.  Should try blending with chinooks:  just centennial and chinook.  And more amber.  Bump abv 0.5%.
