Our super-hoppy beer was ready to drink when we returned, so we chilled a bottle and tried it out. Half the batch is slated for the Homebrew Festival at my husband's workplace, which is fine with me as it is definitely more hoppy that I'm used to. However, I have to admit that it's good, and I'd like to think that toasting the hops changed the color and flavor just a little bit. Now I wish I'd kept some without the extra hops for comparison, but I will just be happy with what we made and save the scientific approach for another batch!
Hops rock. Wish I could try it.
