Cali Common Ale Update

Last night, I pulled out a sample of my Cali Ale for a hydrometer reading and a taste. The OG was 1.050 and the FG is 1.006 which makes a 5.7% ABV. I was really quite worried about that since my first yeast was a failure and I just pitched the American Ale Yeast straight in the fermentor without a starter.
There were also no off flavours or weird tastes. At first, I thought there was a skunky taste but Stefanie told me that I was just trippin' and it was just a hoppy taste.

I'm cleaning the bottles now and will be bottling in the next couple of days.
