A shout out from NW US for Big Ben's anniversary. This turned out nice and crisp, with a hint of oak, perfect for summer.

I will definitely brew this again. I enjoyed getting back to the more traditional IPA. If anything, I wish there would have been more oak, it soaked with the chips in a 2ndary for 2 weeks. I would have gone longer if it weren't for the dry hops.
