note:
Bottled. Bottling sucks. Disappointed FG is so high. Very pronounced carrot juice flavor. 5% abv is hardly a sticke but low abv is due to high mash temp (uncalibrated therm) and poor efficiency (too short mash). Close enough for first go.

note:
tasted many times and with diminishing carrot flavor. Adding juice to 2ndary is not the way to get the flavor to persist. This tasting had virtually no carrot flavor but did have a fruity estery feel.
