Rat Turd Lite IPA

Ale - American Pale Ale
All Grain
- - - - -

Brewer's Notes

Pretty much a staple beer in my brewing regime. Always tastes better fresh too, not worth letting it age. Crystal malt is actually Bairds Light and 0 minute hop additions were dry hopping for 2 weeks.
This beer managed a 2nd in SABSOSA 2008 and a 3rd in AABC 2008.

Well... what is actually "lite" about it?

Does look absolutely taste-tacular.
 
maybe 6% is "lite" for the drunk arab boosh!
 
Spot on rr, my full strength version of this is closer to 8% and 80 IBU.

Should also note that FG for this is 1012 so comes out at 6.5%.
