This might be quite possibly the best beer I have ever drank, homebrew or otherwise. The flavor is so complex and satisfying without being overpowering.

We loved this IPA and its one of the best we've brewed. We use the BRY-97 west coast style ale yeast from Lallemand and just followed the recipe and took care to maintain a good brewing temperature. It came out GREAT! Dry hopping is easier these days with the little hop balls for sale here, and I was very pleased that we were able to get a really good hop nose on this batch using that method.

Love this kit and beer. Hops were crazy fresh and grain measured out. It's got that old school flair with some older hop varieties but with a nod to the present with a later hopping regime for a burst of tropical fruit and haze. Love it! I rolled the dice with some us05 and didn't clarify. It turned out amazing! Excited to brew this again with omega tropical yeast - just because... Highly recommend.

I brewed this BIAB explicitly following the recipe except for a third fermentation stage due to my own time constraints (not my usual style); it was excellent 2 weeks after bottling and outstanding 4 weeks out. I shared this with my brewing club, which has 2 professional brewers as members, and it was well received by all who tasted it. I was encouraged to take it to the Sierra Nevada home brewers competition occurring locally at the time, but felt compelled to consume all I had left at the time (3 bottles). This beer was medium gold color, fine carbonation bubbles, very clear, soft medium head, at apx. 6.4 ABV. Well balanced hop profile with noted citrus and medium bodied malts.
