Catagory B : Amber ... light dry lemon hop ... soft light lemon hop with a little malt in background
Catagory C : Amber ... soapy lemon nose ... light brigh lemon hop
Catagory D : Amber ... light grassy lemon hop ... dry grassy lemon hop
Catagory E : Amber ... light grapefruit hop ... again light hop with a little grapefruit
This is a Catagory B
