Notes:
1 month: A bit harsh, with strong grapefruit flavors – a bit astringent. Odor is quite nice, however – rich and full with a very fruity, citrus scent. -Greg
3 months: A nice, vanilla scent has begun to peak. The citrus notes have mellowed well. There is a faint sweetness in the scent as well. Good mouthfeel, somewhat thick and chewy. Bubbles explode on the pallet. Orange flavors are in the fore when chilled. As the beer warms, it is apparent that much of the astringency is gone. High alcohol is not obvious. -Greg
A very exciting beer for us as it used some of our homegrown hops. Originally it had a very fruity scent but was very hoppy. Rob and our other non-IPA drinkers were quite disappointed. A year and a half later the hoppy flavor gave away to a light citrus taste, declared extremely drinkable by all. -Holly
