Cedar Creek Brewery Elliott's Phoned Home Pale Ale

We have created a nice blend of American hops and malts that can offset the German Alt yeast. Our goal is a moderate level of hop bitterness that carries over to a soft hop aroma. We are trying some new American hops–primarily Apollo and Bravo–that give some interesting notes to the flavor and aroma. Bravo gives a blend of lemon, pear, and grapefruit notes. Apollo is mostly used as a bittering hop, but because of the great aroma we get from it, we also used it in the whirlpool. As a result, the aroma comes across as a strong grapefruit note.
