This brew results in a chill haze, which I don't pay any attention to since I don't care (I don't wash my windshield very often either). I am so impressed with this ale that I can't seem to make enough of it. This is a good pale ale, but not an excellent pale ale. It lacks sweetness and aroma.

Ingredients:

7 pounds, Steinbart's amber ale extract
1 pound, cracked crystal malt
1/8 pound, cracked roasted malt
2 ounces, Cascade or other strong hops
1/2 ounce, Kent Goldings hops
yeast

Procedure:

Add cracked grains to 2 gallons cold water. Bring to boil and promptly strain out grains. Add extract and Cascade hops. Boil 30 minutes. Add Kent Goldings hops in last five minutes.
