    More bitter than expected

    I like the initial taste of this very light beer but the back end is more bitter than I expected. Think of this as a lite IPA. I would like to make this again with with either a different less bitter hop or to reduce the amount of hops used by half or even three quarters. I see a lot of potential here and want to experiment more with this one.
