Having this beer again, it tastes like a Sticky Hands from Block 15. As such, it is very good, especially since the ABV is so much lower. Even still, the bitterness on it is too strong. In the future, I will try adding a third of the whirlpool hops right away and delay the balance by 10 minutes to get temps down a bit. This is, by far, the best IPA that I've made so I am pleased with it, even though it is not what I had envisioned exactly.
Pours 1 finger of creamy foam with a beige color. Aroma is hoppy grapefruit. Flavor follows the nose initially though there is a pine flavor to the hops, then there is a melony tropical fruit flavor, finishing with a bitter edge. A bitterness really lingers on the palate. The mouth feel is soft and carbonation is good. This is what I was going for except for the bitterness at the end. I think that I may be starting my whirlpool too hot and extracting more IBUs than desired. Overall, a really great start to an NEIPA that I will continue to work on. I really like these Australian hops.
