Notes:

love this stuff. early on, there was a hint of what some might classify as cat pee odor that i've noticed with heavy citra hopped brews, which has subsided after a few weeks in the keg. Don't let this comment scare you off. I'd brew this again and might swap an oz of cascade for the last oz of citra to see if it cleans up the green aroma a bit. Regardless, this has a great malty flavor, mild bitterness, nice moderately caramel color with some nice head retention. Aroma is keeping this from a 5 star rating. Very drinkable IPA.

Notes:

Malty, sweet, tangerine and mild pine. Not too bitter. Tastes great at packaging. Best ipa I've brewed. Got 6 extra bottles after filling the keg.

    This looks pretty similar to my CX IPA I made yesterday. Cascade and Citra Hops. Yours will be higher ABV though.
