It is hard to find recipes that people have made and then comment on. Frequently, when I'm researching a beer style, I find that people put their recipes online, but then they never come back and say how they taste. Well, I'm going that in reverse. Here is the recipe for an IPA I made on Sept. 1. It was my last chance to brew before starting grad school, in earnest.
[A quick aside: brewing has always just been a way to make great beer, and to relax. Now it has become an essential part of my routine to relax when I can. Some people exercise to take their mind off their work. I brew.]
I decided to call this one Last Chance IPA. It is my best IPA to date. It is full bodied, and has rich hop qualities; fruity, earthy, and a little spicy. It is a beautiful amber, with a head that doesn't die.
Enjoy!
