Tasting Notes: A big, smooth, silky, crisp, citrusy New England style double IPA.

Brewed this back in May and it turned out ridiculously good. I was going for a big, smooth, silky, crisp, citrusy New England IPA and this hit it right on the mark. I must have calculated my malt bill wrong, because I was planning on making it about 7.5% abv, and it turned out to be 12.8-13.8% depending on what method you use. Drinks light AF and would never know its that boozey so you have to be careful. I’ve never submitted one of my recipes before because I’m super critical about my brews but I’m actually very happy and proud of how this turned out. It looks a little insane from the recipe, but rest assured this is a very balanced, well drinking smooth IPA.
