Brewers Notes:

I hopped about twice the amount called for by the style. When I tasted it initially, it was a little too sharp although had an awesome flowery aroma. After about 60 days in the bottle it was much different. Bitter but smooth, great nose, hi octane. I'm going to cheat it with some oak chips next time and call it IPA
