I held the LME until the 15 minute mark of the boil to get the max out of my bittering hops. I also added the honey at flame out so I could retain as much of the flavor and aroma as possible.
The nose on this is amazing. Orange/Tangerine and floral come through with a hint of honey to back it up. The flavor is citrus and spice, but not too sweet and just a hint of alcohol warmth. And the honey comes back in the finish.
This is my house IPA and is a great brew for a big beer with a quick turn around. I'm not very patient and love a beer I can drink young. I usually pop the first one a week after bottling.
