Very popular with the guests, all despite the fact that this was probably the highest alcohol and hoppiest brew many of them had ever had. There is a nice sweetness that helps balance out the hops and the citrus fruit notes skew towards oranges rather than grapefruit. Probably the second best IPA I have yet brewed.
