Just had a taste of an 'APA' I knocked up quickly to fill some empty kegs and it has a very strong caramel/toffee kind of flavour and almost none of the C type hops are showing through like I would normally expect. (Reminds me of some of the real ales I had when in london, mainly one of the badger ones)
Not a bad brew but not what I was expecting. Do you think it was due to 10% crystal or perhaps not enough 0 min hops?
