NOTES:
Lots of orange/tangerine and pine in the aroma. I didn't think Maris Otter would be this good on its own for an IPA as I find it's a very earthy malt that gives beer a heavier malt character than say U.S. 2-row. This combination works perfectly.

Looks awesome. Maris is great in a smash.
I will go as high as 12 lbs in mine and citra works well.
