Notes:
Our first attempt at a strong, hoppy, IPA.
Smells & tastes excellent at 1 week. Was our hoppiest brew to date (recently surpassed by the Webb #1). Hope profile was lower than it should have been due to small boil volume. This is something we will work on now. However, still a fantastic beer, if a little cloudy when chilled.
