Absolute crowd pleaser. Messed up on my water, bottled 4.75 gallon for gifts. 9.2% ABV. Gave out 20 bottles and 15 wanted more. Clear straw color, no envelope flavor, smooth and not boozy even at the 9.2%. N I have been brewing for 24 years, and this is one of the best beers I have made in a long time. Will brew every year going forward as long as I can duplicate.
