Thanks everyone. I'm still beside myself that it placed that well in the first round. At this point, it doesn't matter how well it does in the finals, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. I'm just thrilled that it advanced. I'll post the score when I get it.

The results were finally posted my AHA account. The beer received a score of 43.5. I'll get a second place ribbon and a gold certificate. Fingers crossed for the finals!!
