You'll really notice the hops with the US05. S04 and Nottingham stick to the bottom of the FV like the proverbial to a blanket, US05 just takes a little longer to settle out.

As way of an update on the beer - mine appears to have cleared very nicely in the keg too after 2 weeks. Was it the finings, or would it have done it on its own? Dunno. Though, it certainly hadn't cleared as quickly in the FV as say, S-04 or Nottingham, but then they do clear awfully quick themselves...

I've never had any issues with US05 clearing on it's own. On another personal note I find that Cascades by themselves can get a little much for me however they do sit really well with First Gold in my experience That Townes IPA seems awful popular at the moment, could it be the new Styrian Stunner?
