Brew date: Feb. 22, 2018
Appearance: Light orange color, very slight haze.
Aroma: Mango, pineapple, citrus hop, some sweetness in the aroma, piny resinous on the backend, extremely faint ethanol.
Taste: Sweet fruit hop character, great even bitterness, dry finish but not over-much.
Final Thoughts: A really really great beer! I'd put it up against a lot of the IPAs out there... Excellent hop character, extremely good hop flavor -- bursting with mango, pineapple, and sweet orange. Not over bitter, with a dry finish but enough malt and resin in mouth to balance it all out.
Next Time: Don't change much. Keep the hopping schedule or add even more late additions.
