Hi all,
Being that the baseball season if just around the corner- I want to brew a big citrus IPA to commemorate it. What's more American than Baseball and Northwest C-Hop IPA? I took inspiration from Westbrook's IPA for the grain bill and hop scheduling, but took away a lot of the Chinook as it always has given my beers this weird minty taste that I don't quite care for. Critique away, and feel free to give suggestions.
