Taste is wonderful. Easy to drink. Nice floral taste up front with a deep hop citrus hop flavor in the middle rounded out with a slight linger on the bitter. The huge malt bill adds to the overall balance. Does not dry you out... You can drink a few pints without needing water.
how long are you letting this beer sit until it is ready to drink

I let this particular beer condition in secondary (68 degrees) for six weeks. Prior to kegging I drop temps slowly to the low forty's to help all the yeast to drop out. Then I kegged and let sit for one month and tasted. I then tasted every week till it was to my liking. Long story short.... After primary I conditioned for 3 months and served at a wedding. Also, I ferment all my IPA's at 64 degrees because I like a cleaner finish to my beers. I also believe that it is less chewy and allows for the hops to really shine without being too masked. Hope this helps.

I forgot to mention that after primary I ramp the temp up to 68 degrees to help with a cleaner finish.
I just tasted a newer version

I created a newer and improved version of an IPA. Look up Hop Shock under the recipes here on Beer Tools. Cheers, Steve
