Zane's Pale Ale Homebrew Recipe

The following beer recipe is featured in the January/February 2013 issue of Zymurgy magazine. Access this issue along with the archives with Zymurgy Online!

Zane Smith of New Zealand earned recognition in the homebrewing world for this award winning New Zealand-hopped pale ale.

This pale ale uses a hefty dose of three different New Zealand hops. The Nelson Sauvin hops provide just enough bitterness, while the Hallertauer and Cascade hops show off floral and citrus notes, moving towards grapefruit, and blend nicely with the citrus and fruity aromas from dry hopping. Give this recipe, originally featured in January/February 2013 Zymurgy, a shot and see how it stacks up to your favorite pale ale!
