Specifics:
O.G.: 1.059
This beer had an unpleasant "dry" feeling to it and left me thirsty.
Possibly my sparging procedure could be at fault with
too much hot water being passed over the grains. It is also possible
that the yeast was too attenuative or that the
fermentation temperatures were too high (ambient temperature fluctuated
between 70 and 90 degrees).
