This actually turned out great! The Sorachi Ace added a nice sweetness during the dry hopping... i cold crashed it for the last 2 days of dry hopping... not a lot of yeast in the bottles either. An amazing XP ale!! Great Job me, you're the man!

just tasted a little bit of this when i took a gravity today.... its real bitter, but not in a bad way. its also way to young yet to get a good idea of what its going to be like after i dry hop this bitch... this should make a fantastic xtra pale ale!
