Comments
I calculated 64 IBUs. This beer had a nice color and was smooth and bitter. It was slightly more fruity than I thought it would be. This may be due to a slightly higher fermentation temperature (about 72 F). This is a tasty brew overall, and is easy to drink in the summer months. I plan to make it again.
