VF # 7

VF # 7 was a bit of a coup for us as we had been tackling some big equipment issues and overcame them with a little innovation. VF#7 is Mountain Goat Hightail Ale copy, the reason we used the Hightail as a benchmark is because it has all the qualities of a superb session beer. And of course we all know very well what it tastes like - through research!
Not much to the recipe but what is important is the addition of Marris Otter, the classic English Malt - also note the London yeast 1028 (Wyeast). These two factors meant we were now pointing the rocket in the right direction!! And this beer did not last long in the bottle - I vaguely remember a cards night in a small shed which got very lively on the strength of VF#7.
Great hop character and really nice malt throughout the profile. We attempt this again with limited success, maybe when we are even more experience we will return to this one and give it a polish.
