A challenge was put forth to brew a blonde ale with a butt load of hops, mostly from my using my beer recipe software incorrectly. It is a style notable for its easy drinking feel, brownish-yellow (very, very light on the brown) complexion, and malt forward taste. In a moment of inspiration (thanks nibbish) I set out to craft the recipe and initially came up with a brew utilizing 1.5 oz. of Simcoe hops for bittering, .5 oz. of Simcoe and 1.0 oz. of Amarillo for flavor. Sadly, a trip to the brewstore turned up empty of Simcoe, so I audibled to Columbus hops (14.4% alpha-acid) for bittering and flavor. So, in the end, my recipe looks as it does after the jump.

Vader – Revelation of Black Moses
Thanks for putting up with my tastes all week. I figure a fitting end to cheaptoy week would involve some cookie monster vocals.
Behold! The Eagles of death metal! (or at least, the inspiration for the name of that band.)

Ahhh, Death. Founders of a genre. Their last two albums were terrific, some of the best music I've ever heard. Sadly, Chuck Schuldiner, founder of the band and lead guitarist and vocalist, died of a brain tumor in 2001 while working on a project with similar musical style but a more traditional vocalist.

Loading... Iron Maiden – The Phantom of the Opera
It wouldn't seem right to have a cheaptoy week and not play some Iron Maiden.

For fun, the same song as sung by original lead singer Paul Di'anno after the jump.

Loading... Symphony X – Set the World on Fire
After yesterday's vocal quality disaster (although I felt the band was pretty tight, at least.) I made sure to listen to this one all the way through. The sound quality isn't the greatest, but the performance is far better.
Anyway, all that anyone really needs to take away from this is that Russell Allen and Michael Romeo are awesome.
