#21 Polish Pilsner

This beer was inspired by the gift of Marynka hops from Poland.  Marynka hops are an all purpose hops that are only grown in Poland.  They contain high bittering and aroma values.  Our Marynka hops had an alpha acid measured at 12.75%.  A recipe was formed by starting with a modified Zywiec pilsner clone (Polish) and making slight modifications.

Very clear at bottling. -Jeff
