Taste Notes

This is an excellent beer. A clone of sorts of Magic Rocks - Cannonball India Pale Ale. It doesn't have as much of a Grapefruit kick to as Cannonball does but i think i might prefer it this way. You still get a big Grapefruit flavour but not as in your face as the original. The aromas are beautiful and funky (in a good way) and managed to avoid those garlic and onions aroma's that a lot of people refer to with Summit hops. The IBUs are obviously not as high as BeerSmith suggests either. At a guess I would maybe say 65 -70 IBU's

Notes

I was actually given this recipe from a fellow home brewer over Twitter, all I tweaked was the dry hopping stage and the yeast. All in all I am over the moon with this beer. It is absolutely ideal for a summers day. Its not the cheapest beer I've ever made but it is one of the best.
