The Outer Limits Pale Ale
So it really seemed to be a hit..... Beer reviewed by the Journal club here (4.47 out of 5): http://home.uchicago.edu/arij/journalclub/ My Review:
Aroma: strong fruity/citrus hop aroma, fruity esters- really enjoy the mix of Citra and Amarillo hops.
Appearance: light amber, good head retention, clear.
Flavor: Moderate hop flavor that is smooth with little bite. American hops, citrusy.
Mouthfeel: light body with good carbonation. Overall smooth finish.
Overall Impression: A pale, refreshing and hoppy ale
Would I brew again? YES!

Time for a post..........
So here I am........ It was early september and I realized outside of two beers that need aging (Belgium Dubbel- "Double Cross" and a Belgium Quad- "St. Dainius") I had no beers for our annual Halloween Party. I switched into high gear and brewed 3 beers in two days.
The Outer Limits -Pale ale 4.7% and 60+ IBU's (hop bursted)
Tangerine Speedo -Belgium Wit 4.5% and 20 IBU's
2 Our Father -Patersbier or known as a Belgium Single/Enkel this is the second version
I didn't stop there- I was worried that the beers wouldn't be ready for Halloween. So I brewed two more "quick Beers" as in the yeast is very fast.
So I brewed these two more:
Pumpkin Smashed -Pumpkin ale with Belgium Yeast (Hybrid of the sure fast and very dry 3711 yeast)
We Don't Want the Irish -Irish Dry Stout
