US 2-row / Centennial

[Common]

Here is a recipe I made trying to get a very cheap (1oz of hops), but enjoyable beer that even the BMCers would like too. It's decent. Definitely drinkable. Not sure what I would change. I may try Chinook next time. I'm not very good as far as tasting notes go, but next time I have a glass I'll pay more attention and try to put some detail in here. I think mine need to be carbed a little more. That would probably make it better. Anyway, here it is:
