Taste Notes
The initial first pints has some hops floating in the beer, but settled to the bottom of the glass. They did not impact taste.
This beer is not as hoppy as the Two Hearted that I tried to duplicate; however, I belive due to Fist Wort Hopping that it made it incredibly smooth and those who aren't into bitter IPA's would love this brew!
Final take: This turned out to be an awesome golden-orange color, significant head retention and a very smooth IPA! It has the hop charactuer (taste and aroma) that you would expect from a premium IPA and a very pleasing taste!
