So I was trying another whack at getting kudos from Lance, but I happened to go taste a cask conditioned Pale Ale and North by Northwest. It was dry hopped with Simcoe hops and grabbed your taste bud and slapped them silly. It inspired me to mess with a beer I just put into secondary. This ESB had already finished and clarified. I dumped in an ounce of Simcoes and fermentation started up again. I let the Simcoes steep one week before racking the beer off to got most of the hops out of there and let the beer settle down again. The taste of this thing is amazing. I stumbled on greatness. With the Simcoes, this goes into American Pale Ale style, yet the ESB gives it a complexity. Here's a keeper. This is also the first brew that I used late addition for the extract.
