This would have to be my first extract which was an APA with Cascade and NS. :icon_drool2: .. closely followed by the second, An American Amber Ale. Both run out now so will soon be followed up with a partial version of the APA.

Cheers

Has to be Tonys EKG Bitter. Made several double batches of it and could quite happily not make anything else.
