SWMBO loves IPAs. I open up my latest one tonight and I'm blown away. I only have one chilled because I was checking for carbonation. I immediately give her the glass to try.
She sniffs it. "Whoa, that's strong!" I nod enthusiastically. She takes a sip. "ooh, that's fruity. It's too fruity, why's it so fruity?" Another sip and she hands it back. "I don't think I like it, it's too fruity for me."
I'm goddam crestfallen. This thing is loaded with tons of late hops - galaxy, cascade, and amarillo. Not to mention it was my first completely original recipe, which I think she forgot.
I sincerely think this is my best batch yet. Kind of frustrated and confused.
