Fresh Hop IPA
American IPA • All Grain • 5.5 gal
Really bitter; but smooth bitterness due to late kettle additions. Ended up dry hoping with fresh Cascade and with pellet Amarillo and the aroma is wonderful. We';; give it until December in the bottle before we start drinking to mellow out the bitterness a bit.
