This is intended to be a lighter version of the potbelly porter. Suitable for the post lawn mowing or motorcycle rides of summer. Left everything the same, but backed down the specialty grains with the exception of the crystal and ditched the carapils.

Totally forgot to take OG. Transferred to secondary 2/24/10 1.016
5/18/2010 Transferred to keg. FG of 1.017? Way high, not sure why. Warm and flat it's a winner. Pancake syrup kind of color, very smooth, very excited to get back from Canada and wack a few cold and carbonated. Maybe push the Kent Golding back to 30 minutes? It could use some more hops early and late for a more Americanized version, but it is very English ale'y, exactly like I like it.
