My first beer design. I was thrilled with the original and it continues to mature. Most recent tasting (early May) revealed more complex florals in taste and aroma as well as a smoothing out of the bitterness. I will make this beer again.

Tried it on 2 May- good British style IPA. A solid, balanced beer with little hop flavor, which is very much in the style.
