Out of curiosity, do you use brewing software? Yes I use an iPhone app called brewpal. It's pretty great.... I think

Thanks for the help guys! I didn't realize my blunder until you guys all so graciously pointed it out. I originally brewed this beer with extract. I wanted to find out what exactly what was in the extract and then use those ingredients. I found out that the particular extract I was using was a...

I have an IPA that I brew with Simcoe as the primary hop. I have always distinctly tasted grapfruit in this beer. I would like to think that's the Simcoe coming though. Weyerbaucer has a beer called Simcoe IPA thats about 10%ABV and it too tastes like grapfruits (to me). Hope this helps.
