Yum. I really need to get on my second pilsner. I have a Cream Ale fermenting now and a Saison in the lineup first at SWMBO’s request. So much to brew…
Great looking beer, Jon. Did they ever deem this beer cloned or have they not gotten it yet? Either way, I really enjoy an all Chinook beer. I brewed an all Chinook Rye IPA some years ago that I still think of as one of the best I’ve brewed to date.
This was the one that everybody but Tasty thought was cloned. I don’t think it’s a clone but it’s fairly close and, regardless, it’s really tasty (no pun intended). I’ve actually tinkered with the hop schedule until I think that aspect of it is very close. It was never my goal to try to completely clone it anyway, just get in the ballpark and have a nice beer. I think I succeeded.
Edit - The flaked barley wasn’t in the CYBI recipe but I love the foam and body it gives.
Neato. I think I may have to give this a brew at some point soon. I have some 1318 I’ve been keeping going by top cropping, which probably isn’t the right yeast, but I think it’d probably do.

I am really enjoying this one. Lots of orange and grapefruit in aroma. Dank flavor upfront followed mostly by orange with little grapefruit. Crisp and dry. Way to dry to call juicy.
I would definitely prefer a clear beer but for a wheat beer I am ok with opaque.
PS. I would put this beer up against a session IPA any time.
