Good day all! First things first, I came up with this name and was really stoked because I'm pretty optimistic and I love hops. Then I found out there's already a beer named "Hoptimistic IPA". With that being said, I've tweaked this recipe a few times but would enjoy any feedback anyone else has to offer! Thanks in advance for the feedback!
