This was brewed with Crackers and Gaz as a way of introducing Gaz to the joys of homebrewing. I forgot to buy Stella so replaced it with Summer. The beer was intended to be a resiny Double IPA and whilst it did meet that criteria, as ever with my hoppy beers it never had enough hop presence for my liking. We split the batch and fermented half with a Saison yeast. This (52: Son of Children of Lir) was very lively and was something of a gusher but the Saison yeast didn't add much. I also seem to have neglected to photograph it.
