This is a keeper. Probably the best IPA I've made. The hops flavor is slightly citrusy but not grapefruity. Little bit of maltiness, with a dry finish. I added the honey to primary because I ended up with more than 5 gallons and the SG needed a little boost.
I made 10 gallons of this stuff. I have only tasted the keg with Denny's 50 yeast. The carboy with S-05 will get kegged next week and won't be tasted for a month or two. I will keep you posted.
