The 100 Day Pale Ale started out way too bitter. Kevin and I must have added too much hops after the boil over. We drank some after two weeks when I moved it to the keg. The next week I gave Kevin a growler and he said it was good and that his wife liked it too. I called BS.
Later in the week I invited over Kevin and Poole to empty the keg since I wanted to get ready for Ellie's beer party and I need the space in the chest freezer. Kevin brought two growlers and Jonathon took one. Then five of us worked through at least a half gallon of what was left. It wasn't bad. The bitterness had calmed down and the citra was beginning to come through. It smelled great. Love that new yeast. It may become EKA new yeast.
So, the keg is empty and I'm working a couple of new beers to raise money for Ellie. Wish us luck.
