I just bought a six pack of this from the store the other day and it may be my new favorite beer. My one question is though how do they carbonate it?? I mean its like a soda or something almost no head.
I have to warn anyone brewing this beer. My entire house smelled like a hop garden for about 3 days after brewing this. Needless to say its fermenting nicely now. :cross:
My batch tastes similar to the original. However I think it needs more amarillo. When I drink the original I tend to smell the hops a lot more. The bitterness is spot on however.
Its interesting, my friend was telling me originally india pale ale was so hoppy in the first place because it was beer being shipped to india. I'm guessing this was to preserve the beer or maybe it was the fact that the hops faded over time. According to wikipedia though some IPAs are aged over...
