I just brewed an IPA extract kit and I am getting some flavors that I was not expecting. I don't think they are off flavors, just different than I have tasted before. Here is the recipe.
5 gallon batch
6 lbs Pale LME
3.5 lbs Amber LME
.25 lbs Crystal 60L
Wyeast 1335 British Yeast II with a 2 liter starter
1 oz Warrior for 60
1 oz Amarillo Gold continuously hopped for the last 30 minutes
1 oz Citra continuosly hopped for the last 30 minutes
1 oz Citra dryhop 7 days
1 oz Amarillo Gold dryhop 7 days
1 oz Ahntanum dryhop 7 days
OG 1.070
FG 1.016
3 weeks primary, 7 day secondary, 3 weeks in the bottle.
When I taste this brew I am getting hit really hard with fruit. Almost a Belgian like fruit taste. Then is has a slight citrus finish. It's not unpleasant just surprising. I was expecting more of a citrus, floral, pine. The aroma is not very strong which is surprising with 3oz of dryhop but the aroma is fruit also. This is my first brew using this yeast and it is also my first using Citra and Ahntanum hops. What do you all think is giving me the strong fruit notes?
