​O.G. 1.090
​F.G. 1.020

Ingredients: (5 gallons)
​7lbs 4.0oz Maris Otter Pale Malt
​6lb 9.6oz Pale Liquid Extract
2.00 oz Cascade (First Wort Addition)
2.00 oz Centennial (60 min)
​1.00 oz Citra (15 min)
1.00 oz Citra (10 min)
1.50 oz Coarse Ground Coffee (Flameout until transfer to fermenter (~15min))
​3 pkgs Wyeast Labs #1056 American Ale "Spack Packs"
​4 oz Citra (dry hop)

​Popped open a bottle after 6 days and its got a really smooth coffee/citrus aroma.  Has a bitterness that lingers for a while.  Still needs about another 4-7 days to bottle condition to reach perfect carbonation level!

​Happy overall!
