Dry hop and first tastes

I used 1.5-2 oz cascade for dry hopping. This tastes like rocket fuel right out of the secondary. Don't worry. It gets better... even after just one month of aging it is turning out to be quite good. I plan to let it age for at least a few more months. Then I'll give my final opinion.
