The 1 oz of Centennial Hops added at the 60-minute mark imparts a clean, floral bitterness that balances the malt sweetness beautifully. As you progress, the 0.25 oz of Cascade Hops at 30, 15, and 5 minutes contribute layers of citrusy and floral notes, creating a complex yet approachable hop aroma that complements the malt backbone.
To bring it all together, the American Ale Yeast works its magic, ensuring a clean fermentation that highlights the beer’s crisp and refreshing qualities.
