The hops are fine... the beer itself lacked depth because of the malt. That said, I don't find the hop to be so fantastic that I'll be searching for them again. They're just fine and they were fresh and aromatic, etc. but I wasn't WOWED by them.Cashmere the hop lacked depth? Or, the pale ale made with Cashmere lacked depth because of the Swaen pale ale malt in it?
I had a blonde ale in mind and I was planning on using the West Coast yeast for it. Now that I have a feel for this malt I would probably use Vienna with the Swaen Pale Ale and also add calcium chloride to the mash but NO gypsum... in an attempt to "malty up" the beer. These beers just ended up being very dry-tasting and the only thought I have is that the flavor profile of the malt is a little shallow. It's not a "bad" flavor (like we have talked about dirty-tasting beers), it's just a lack of depth. Next time I need a malt like this it will probably be Rahr Pale Ale.
