Solid IPA, tastes great with a hint of fruity citrus coming from the hops and a nice backbone of malt sweetness.

Hard to rate so far.

The OG came in right at the 1.054 that was expected. So far, so good I hope this turns out to be a solid IPA. If this is promising I will be moving on to a good hop bomb of an IPA.
Fermentation ended in about 24 hours

I am worried that the Fermentation was done so quickly. I took a Gravity reading at 1.020 (higher than expected) yesterday. I will take another one this evening and if it hasn't changed I will be racking it to my secondary.
Looks and smells great.

Sp far, so good, everything is in line with theplans, it has a nice hop smell and flavor, wonderful, this is my last (mostly) extract brew. I am to intrigued with the grain.

Smells great, looks great tastes pretty good so far. I think this one turned out pretty well for my first IPA.
