I know there is a ton of Simarrilo IPAs but I wanted a pale for the summer. This beer is everything I wanted. Great hop finish, well balanced malty foundation with a very dry finish. I catch myself just pounding these because its so easy to drink as well as great tasting.

Slight confession: I only moved to a secondary because I needed another primary for a different batch I had to make. I would have loved to have left this in the primary for the whole three weeks. Also, I never got an FG as my hydrometer broke ( it rolled off my desk). I took a reading in the secondary after a week and it was down to 1.012 already.

Cheers!
