Well…now I’m realizing I can’t do math. This is 10 of 12 for skirmish in the triad. Almost there! This is a beer I have done in the past and really like the way it turned out so I figured I’d do it as an NHC beer and this is my dry run. I will note that German Northern Brewer and US are quite different and I would highly recommend German.

9/30/16 racked to lagering keg FG 1.018? pH 4.36
really nice malt and hop character. a big green and maybe a whisper of sulfur? should clear up.
This beer turned out really great. Did well at the Skirmish in the Triad taking 2nd.
