- Excellent!

This is my first attempt at an original recipe, It was inspired by Cigar City Brewings Tocobaga Red Ale, It came out similar, but deliciously different. It really doesn't fall into any specific category, so I figured IPA would be best at 60 IBU. This has turned out to be my favorite brew I have made yet after 16 batches.
