Tasting Notes (2)

Notes:

To be more specific, the fruit character on this is grapefruit in aroma and taste. I also smell a slight hop spiciness in the aroma. There is a sweetness in it that is really muting the bitterness, but there is some that lingers at the end of a swig. I should have used the Magnum hops at the 60min boil mark to up the bitterness.

Notes:

Color is a bit darker than predicted. A little haze before chilling and lots of haze after chill, most likely due to hop haze from the hop hash. Pours with good carbonation, slightly more than a finger. Aroma is somewhat fruity/hoppy, not as much as I would've expected considering the hash. Mouth feel is very soft. Taste is like aroma, somewhat fruity/hoppy, very little bitterness. It is an IPA that I like, though I wouldn't mind more bitterness. Whether it is a Bells Two Hearted clone is anyone's guess as I haven't had that beer in a decade. For my next go round, I want more aromatics and bitterness. I will amp up the hop addition, early and late, should I brew this again.
