Batch #6 - Dirty Blonde Ale

Batch #6. Another batch ordered from AHS.  We were trying some new procedures to ensure that the taint from before was gone.  We got a new auto-siphon, and cleaned the bottles differently (cleaned with B-Brite, then rinsed with water, and then baked in oven at 350°F for 1 hour while capped in aluminum foil - see picture below)

Comments:  Erik & I liked this one a lot, and Andy didn't. The reason was the same for all of us, the clove flavor that the hops bring.  After tasting this side by side with a Grimbergen Blond Ale (one of my favorite Blonde Ales), we noticed that ours was not as sweet as the Grimbergen (we tasted a lot of honey in the Grimbergen).
