Batch 98 IPA Tasting notes

Cold

Pours cloudy orange with big foamy head that billows, stays

Aroma sour fruit hops, green blueberries or apples or pears, some pie crust malt beneath

Mouth feel medium body, bright carbonation, hops cloy a bit

Flavor green/grassy floral hops, sharp hop bitterness, subtle malt sweetness in the middle, hop bittering at end.

Finishes on the hop bitterness, no malt nothing, slight hop flavor.

Overall, not very satisfying, hops are green here and tending towards bitter, 2 weeks ago it was more refreshing, malt bill needs more interest, ie caramel.  Maybe avoid dry hopping, try flameout instead.
