Bottling and Banjo Picking

This evening I seriously needed to decompress from a series of bad news. I picked on the banjo for awhile (working on the alternating thumb roll) and I bottled the Northern Lights Juniper Rye Pale Ale. The beer was a bit darker than I had expected, and taste was heavy on the juniper. My fingers are crossed in hoping that this flavor mellows considerably with bottled conditioning, otherwise I have 5 gallons to drink out of spite (anyone remember the smoked beer like drinking a camp fire.
