BYOTY Amber Pale Ale

The "amber ale" i brewed for BYOTY ending up coming out more pale than amber but it was still good. Pretty light in alcohol but with decent body and mouthfeal. Also good hoppiness a little on bitter side with a nice citrus / grapefruit aroma from the keg hopping which seemed to produce a lot of debris when poured. I need to work on my technique for that.
