Brew #11 - Pollenized Belgian Pale

So Brew #11 is done fermenting, the Pollenized Belgian Pale. I actually ended up dry hopping it with fresh hops in the secondary, using 1oz of Cascade. It has an awesome hop profile and overall taste, this beer is friggen delicious. It finished at 1.006 so nice and low, dry, but doesn't taste too dry. It also brought the beer up to 6% abv, so pretty much session-able. Not the clarity I wanted, but I think the dry hop and mash profile overall didn't let that really happen, plus Belgian yeast doesn't help. This might be the best beer I've done yet, it is really tasty. Missed my South Shore Brew Club brew off date with this one, but should be able to make it into the Wizard's brew off. I'll have to see how it fares.
