Fresh IPA.

This was much better fresh. Or maybe the sweetness of the beer had a hard time competing with the dryness of the lagers I had on tap this spring. Still, a good beer. The aroma, 4 months in, is still fruity but not overpowering. The beer is sweet, cut slightly by the bitterness but maybe under attenuated. It's really a one and done beer. Maybe two. Interesting, not bitter like a west coast IPA but not an east cost, hazy IPA either. (Mrs. Brew North's fav.)

I've made better Azaracca/ Citra beers. Jerrylo is a good one too. I think I prefer the malt bill of a pale ale rather than a stronger IPA. Light and refreshing are two qualities that keep me coming back to a beer, not that an IPA needs to be that, I just miss them from time to time.
